Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to 5538 W Lake Butler Road—an expansive, newly renovated estate set on 1.9 acres of lush, lakefront land in arguably one of Central Florida’s most coveted locations, Kelso on Lake Butler. What distinguishes this property is its remarkable dual lake access. Your own private boat dock provides direct skiable waterfront on Lake Davis, while exclusive community privileges grant you gated access to Kelso's private boat ramp on the prestigious Butler Chain of Lakes. This convergence of private waterfront with chain-of-lakes connectivity creates unparalleled boating and recreational opportunities found in few lakefront estates. The expansive grounds and recent outdoor enhancements create an entertainer's paradise that is second to none! A newly upgraded outdoor bar and grill area, resort-caliber pool and spa, and sweeping lawn frame breathtaking sunset views over the water. Boasting 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 3 car garage, and more than 6,000 square feet of living space, this custom estate offers privacy, scale, and unforgettable lakefront views from nearly every room. From the moment you arrive, the chic coastal architecture, circular drive, and sprawling presence command attention. Step inside to dramatic 25-foot ceilings in the living room with a two story stacked stone fireplace and walls of glass that dissolve the boundary between interior luxury and lakefront beauty. An adjacent sun-filled flex room provides tranquil views of Lake Davis, while the completely remodeled chef's kitchen, with its oversized island, custom cabinetry, high end appliances, adjacent indoor bar and generous family room, is designed for both intimate moments as well as large scale entertaining. The main level's thoughtfully designed primary suite offers serene seclusion with a private sitting area, spa-inspired bathroom, and expansive walk-in closet, complemented by a convenient main-floor office. Upstairs, five additional oversized bedrooms, a versatile loft, dedicated gym, and stunning rooftop deck provide space for every lifestyle need. Recent upgrades give you the ultimate peace of mind, including upgraded lighting throughout, a new roof with GAF Golden Pledge 20 year workmanship warranty, three newer A/C units, updated water heater, Hayward pool heater, new dock motor, new sprinkler system with a lake-fed pump, and a transferable Massey termite bond. Minutes from Disney's back gates, top-tier schools, and Windermere's celebrated shopping and dining, yet completely private and serene—this is lakefront living without sacrifice. Your Kelso compound awaits!
