Virtually Staged. Welcome to this one-of-a-kind lakefront retreat in the rolling hills of Clermont near Sugarloaf Mountain on nearly five acres. Custom-built by Alan Baron Fine Homes, this exceptional property pairs quality craftsmanship, privacy and panoramic water views with an impressive list of recent improvements. The elevated homesite captures beautiful lake views from the great room, kitchen, bedrooms and outdoor living spaces. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace and extensive red oak millwork add warmth and character, while fresh interior paint and new flooring provide an updated feel. Recent improvements include a new roof rated for winds up to 175 mph, Miami-Dade Category 5 impact windows, new HVAC, water purification system, appliances and a whole-house generator with 500-gallon propane tank. Designed for year-round Florida living, the screened outdoor area features a covered lanai with tongue-and-groove ceilings, summer kitchen and heated pool and spa, recently resurfaced and converted to saltwater. A new paver walkway, stone waterfall and refreshed landscaping complement the peaceful waterfront setting. A 40-by-44-foot detached shop with soaring rafters, multiple roll-up doors and extensive storage offers incredible flexibility for a workshop, car collection, equipment or hobbies. Additional improvements include a replaced dock, greenhouse, new backyard fencing, irrigation and well updates, extensive property clearing, shoreline and canal cleanup, road milling and fresh exterior paint. Agricultural zoning provides added flexibility for horses, farm animals and gardening, all while remaining convenient to shopping, major roadways and everyday amenities. From quiet mornings by the water to spectacular lakefront sunsets, this distinctive Clermont property offers an 11-acre freshwater spring-fed lake (Golden Pond) fully stocked with 10,000 worth of bass, crappie, bluegill, shiner and other fish. Two adjacent parcels are also available for purchase, OM733175 (4.98 acres) and OM733176 (5.69 acres), each with its recently installed well and septic system and utility access, offering additional opportunities for residential building. These parcels are lakefront as well, with direct access to 93 acres of freshwater Lake Montgomery. Purchase individually or combine all three properties to create nearly 16 acres and an exceptional opportunity for a private family compound, multi-generational retreat or expansive Central Florida estate.

Welcome to this 4.9 acre lakeside retreat, Chambre Avec Vue, “a room with a view”. In the foothills of Sugarloaf mountain, the exquisite craftsmanship of Alan Baron Fine Homes can be enjoyed in a more laid back setting. In addition to the main residence, a 40x44 shop is situated lakeside! The private setting allows you to create a haven for both work & family life! The land curves around the shoreline spotted with nostalgic oaks & bamboo. The breeze is a constant & the sun’s reflection off the water is just a build up to the angelic sunsets painting the night sky shades of orange, purple & pink! Location is not only gorgeous, but minutes to all modern conveniences & major roadways. Looking for a more self sustaining lifestyle? Zoning allows for horses & other farm animals! There’s also plenty of sunny drenched soil to cultivate your garden! Arrive home to the side entry oversized garage or pull around the circular drive leading to your covered front porch. The lake view on the drive was lovely, but the view from this elevated homesite is spectacular with panoramic views from the great room, kitchen & bedrooms! Step out onto the lanai adorned with rich tongue & groove ceilings and a mahogany faced Summer kitchen! The heated spa & pool is enclosed to enjoy the ambiance year round! Great entertaining space! This home is constructed of poured concrete walls, r-max insulation, even the garage & lanai ceiling! Thoughtful planning went into every piece of millwork, especially the pantry! The home is abundant in hardy red oak that will endure for generations. Updating to your own personal style is truly a matter of paint & stain! These cabinets would cost a fortune to build!!! Cathedral ceilings & the wood burning fireplace give the home a big cozy cabin feel, but could easily go transitional or even modern! This home exudes quality around every turn and is definitely 1 of a kind. Shop roof was replaced in 2022 & the main house has 40 yr. architectural shingles (for whatever that’s worth now days)! Home has gutters, lightning rods, security & a safe room with a poured concrete roof just off the primary ensuite bath and has 7 ft of rebar into the ground! That’s not the end of the world, huh? Maybe just a great spot to hide Christmas gifts! The home has 2 additional bedrooms & a nice “pool” bath. Adding a mother in law suite or additional bedroom would be easy & cost effective by utilizing a portion of the attached garage, especially when you still have the detached shop! Just a little framing and creativity! The entire property is irrigated w/ well water and there’s a reverse osmosis system for drinking water and a tankless hot water heater! Enjoy the avocado, peach, pineapple, lychee, passion fruit & banana trees on your little piece of tropical heaven! You have to walk this property! As you stroll down the gradual hill to the “shop”, play some hoops, grab your fishing pole or get to work! This space is beyond any man cave or she shed you could ever dream of! Open rafters soaring 14 ft+ and multiple 10 ft roll up doors makes this space feel more like 3000 sq ft! Yards of built in storage, possibilities are endless! Was a custom woodworking shop for years & is ready for your vision! You will be hard pressed to purchase a cookie cutter house after this, you couldn’t recreate this oasis for the price! Video & commentary on photos may bring additional insight & be sure to set up an in person tour or request a zoom!
