Overview

Set along the shore of Lake Dora, this waterfront estate offers a rare blend of privacy, comfort, and relaxed luxury on the Harris Chain of Lakes. Life here moves at a different pace — mornings begin with coffee by the water, afternoons are spent boating through scenic lakefront towns, and evenings end with seaplanes and sunsets reflected across the lake. Just a short drive or boat ride from the charm of Mount Dora and historic Eustis, the location offers the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and vibrant small-town lifestyle. The outdoor living spaces were designed to be enjoyed year-round. A resort-style pool with a lap lane and spa creates the feeling of a private getaway, while the fire pit area with its cowboy cauldron invites long evenings under the stars with friends and family. Along the shoreline, the newer composite dock, covered boathouse, and boat lift make it easy to explore the chain of lakes whenever the mood strikes. The fully fenced backyard adds to the sense of seclusion and serenity, while impact-rated windows and doors and a whole-home Generac generator provide an added layer of comfort and confidence during every season. Inside, the home feels both welcoming and refined. Tall coffered ceilings and rich wood floors add warmth and architectural character, while the remodeled kitchen brings a clean, modern style to the heart of the home. Natural light pours through the living spaces, creating an atmosphere that feels open, calm, and connected to the beauty outside. More than just a waterfront property, this is a home designed for those who value experiences, connection, and the everyday luxury of lakefront living.
