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 cypress 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.
