Property Description
Originally built in 1947 as a charming camphouse on the shores of Lake Catherine, this property is rich in history, timeless character, and natural beauty. Thoughtfully expanded in the 1950s into a spacious lodge, this one-of-a-kind home now offers 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms—perfect for hosting family, friends, or weekend guests. In the mid-1970s, a stunning Great Room (The Florida Room) was added, showcasing two full walls of glass windows that frame panoramic views of the lake and surrounding wildlife. Today, the home offers 3,991 square feet of cozy living space that also offers peaceful, daily sightings of wildlife in its natural habitat—bringing the outdoors in with both style and serenity. Set on over 17 private acres, this beautifully maintained estate sits approximately 0.2 miles off a quiet country road, offering complete privacy and scenic views from every angle. The main residence is positioned water front on the back of property, surrounded by mature trees, open fields, and the tranquil waters of Lake Catherine. Vaulted ceilings in both the den and Great Room (The Florida Room) enhance the home's open feel, while rich wood accents add a sense of rustic elegance. A charming detached cabana house, adjacent to the pool, which comfortably sleeps 3, provides an ideal space for guests or extended family. The outdoor amenities are as impressive as the home itself. Enjoy boating, fishing, and lakeside relaxation from your private boathouse or host unforgettable gatherings around the pool area, complete with a screened-in porch and a spacious covered pavilion. Whether you're entertaining large groups or enjoying a quiet sunset, this space is designed for year-round enjoyment. Dedicated RV Storage adds even more flexibility for your lifestyle needs.
