Rare Lakefront Investment Opportunity on the Iconic Winter Haven Chain of Lakes – Prime Lake Eloise Frontage!
This is your chance to own a piece of Florida’s most coveted and limited real estate asset: lakefront property on the world-famous Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. Nestled on the shores of stunning Lake Eloise, this gated estate sits on an expansive 0.92-acre lot with 140 feet of frontage and panoramic water views, offering an ideal blend of location, size, and potential.
Spanning over 5,000 square feet, this home is perfect for the visionary buyer who sees the untapped potential in creating a dream lakefront retreat. The functional layout features a downstairs primary suite with tranquil lake views, a spacious en-suite bath, and ample storage.

The main living spaces include large formal living and dining rooms, perfect for entertaining, and a dramatic family room with a two-story brick fireplace, wet bar, and breathtaking water views. The kitchen, designed with functionality in mind, offers spacious dimensions along with ample cabinet and counter space, a walk-in pantry, and a cozy dinette.

The sprawling backyard features an in-ground pool, mature landscaping, and a backdrop of majestic cypress trees—all waiting to be transformed into a private waterfront oasis.
