Property Description
Experience the timeless beauty of Old Florida from this extraordinary lakefront lodge, privately nestled behind a gated entry along picturesque Wimberly Lake. A winding driveway framed by flowering azaleas leads to the lodge, where grand oaks and mature landscaping create a tranquil canopy. Offering over 5,400 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this custom-built cabin-style home with cedar siding blends rustic warmth with upscale comfort, an exceptional opportunity for luxury buyers, second-home seekers, or short-term rental investors looking for privacy, land, and waterfront access. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings with tongue-and-groove wood beams, rich wood flooring, and two gas-burning fireplaces invite both relaxation and refined entertaining. The heart of the home is the oversized kitchen, featuring granite countertops, extensive cabinetry, a center island, breakfast bar, and breakfast nook, all with panoramic lake views thanks to the nearby family room. Adjacent living and dining spaces offer plenty of room for gathering, while multiple screened porches along the home's exterior provide peaceful, shaded spots to take in the natural surroundings. The primary retreat, located on the first floor, features a cozy library nook, screen-enclosed patios, a spa-style bath with garden tub and separate shower, dual vanities, and a massive walk-in closet with direct access to the utility room. The four remaining bedrooms are located on the second floor, including a secondary suite with its own private en-suite. Step outside to explore over 450 feet of private lake frontage, complete with a dock and boat lift, a perfect option for fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying serene sunsets over the water. The 14.4-acre property is zoned for horses or other agricultural uses and includes a 2-bay powered workshop, large chicken coop, irrigated area ideal for a future barn, and private trails for walking or horseback riding as desired. Located in the heart of North Central Florida's scenic Lake Region, this one-of-a-kind property offers easy access to Gainesville, Ocala, and Palatka, with nearby small towns like Melrose and Hawthorne offering vibrant arts, dining, and recreational experiences. Whether you're searching for a serene primary residence, a private escape, or an income-producing retreat, this lakefront lodge delivers unmatched lifestyle and land.
