Investment Opportunity on the Iconic Winter Haven Chain of Lakes – Prime Lake Eloise Frontage! Can’t you just envision this blank canvas transforming into the lakefront property of your dreams? Boasting good bones, large rooms, and an amazing lot, this stunning lakefront estate is quietly tucked behind the gates of prestigious Skidmore. This is your chance to own a piece of Florida’s most coveted and limited real estate: lakefront property on the world-famous Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. Nestled on the shores of breathtaking Lake Eloise, this gated estate offers an expansive 0.92-acre lot with 140 feet of pristine frontage and panoramic water views. The potential is endless! With over 5,000 square feet of living space, this home is perfect for the visionary buyer ready to reimagine a dream lakefront retreat. The current layout includes a downstairs primary suite with serene lake views, a spacious en-suite bath, and ample storage. A versatile downstairs office/5th bedroom and a bonus room—with a private garage entrance and direct lanai access—create opportunities for a second primary suite or in-law accommodations. The main living spaces are ideal for entertaining, featuring large formal living and dining rooms and a dramatic family room with a two-story brick fireplace, wet bar, and breathtaking water views. The kitchen is designed for functionality, with spacious dimensions, ample cabinet and counter space, a walk-in pantry, and a cozy dinette. Adjacent, the inside laundry room offers additional storage and potential to be converted into a scullery or butler’s pantry. Upstairs, you’ll find three guest bedrooms, a full bath, and additional storage, providing plenty of space for family and visitors. Outside, the possibilities are endless. The sprawling backyard features an in-ground pool, mature landscaping, and majestic cypress trees—all ready to be transformed into your private waterfront oasis. Picture sunset gatherings, tranquil mornings, and a lifestyle defined by boating, skiing, and fishing across more than 20 interconnected lakes. On special occasions, enjoy a front-row seat to Legoland’s spectacular fireworks, all from the comfort of your boat or backyard. Situated in the exclusive gated community of Skidmore, this property offers both privacy and convenience. Located between Tampa and Orlando, it’s just minutes from airports, premier medical facilities, dining, shopping, and entertainment. For savvy investors, lakefront property on the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes is a rare and highly sought-after asset. Opportunities like this—combining expansive frontage, breathtaking views, and limitless potential—are increasingly rare. They’re not making lakefront anymore, and this property offers the chance to modernize the structure and maximize its value for generations to come. Whether you dream of a stunning renovation for your family or a high-value investment project, this property on Lake Eloise is your opportunity to turn potential into reality. Don’t miss your chance to create a legacy on one of Florida’s most iconic lakes.
