Description

Lake Front opportunity in an active over 55 community. Bring your pontoon boat, or fishing poles and enjoy the wildlife that abounds in your back yard. Welcome to Middle Lake, a hidden waterfront gem that allows you to moor your pontoon boat in your backyard. There are bass in the lake and plenty of catfish. The lake is about 35 acres and features two natural and picturesque islands. These Islands serve as protected bird rookeries and are home to approximately 28 species of birds that you can enjoy viewing from the comfort of your screen enclosed patio or outdoor courtyard while barbequing with friends or grilling a hot dog on the fire pit. Sometimes you will watch the great blue heron perch on your bank or nest on the island across from your patio, many times you will see egrets, ibis, roseate spoon bills, wood storks that come in and roost on the trees and you will occasionally get visits from the osprey or the bald eagle. Every now and then you will get to hear the horn-rimmed owl and spot the red tail hawk that occasionally perches on the roof. Oh yes there are buzzards that live on the islands and a host of other wildlife too. This 3 bedroom 2 and 2 half bath Mediterranean style has a one-of-a-kind lake setting that gives plenty of peaceful relaxation. Most of the windows were replaced with hurricane impact windows, and a new roof was put on in 2023. The air conditioning was replaced in 2024. Rock pavers in 2020. Oh, and if you like fresh avocados then check this house as it has an avocado tree full of avocados that will be ready in late June and early July. A Myers lemon in front is full of lemons, a fig tree, elderberry and a few other edible fruit trees large enough to bear fruit.
