About this home
Exceptional Lakefront Commercial Investment Opportunity with Residential Estate. A rare chance to acquire one of Auburndale’s most recognizable hospitality properties. This established 14-room lakefront motel has enjoyed decades of successful operation and a strong occupancy history while benefiting from outstanding visibility and frontage on Highway 92 W, one of Central Florida’s major east-west corridors. The offering includes two lakefront parcels extending to beautiful Lake Lena, providing a unique combination of commercial income potential and waterfront lifestyle. Also included is a spacious 3,195-square-foot lakefront residence with private access, ideal for an owner/operator, on-site management, executive housing, vacation rental, or additional revenue opportunity. The large lakeside gazebo adds tremendous value and versatility to the property. Overlooking the water, it creates an ideal venue for weddings, receptions, corporate gatherings, family reunions, private parties, and other special events, offering exciting opportunities to expand revenue streams. The motel has been a local landmark since the 1950s, featuring attractive curb appeal, mature landscaping, and meticulously maintained grounds. Its prime location provides convenient access to Interstate 4, Orlando, Tampa, Lakeland, Winter Haven, shopping, dining, and Central Florida’s world-famous attractions. Whether you envision continuing its successful hospitality operation, enhancing the existing business with an event venue, or exploring future redevelopment possibilities (subject to local approvals), this property presents a truly exceptional investment opportunity. Properties offering commercial frontage, established income potential, a substantial residence, and direct lakefront access are seldom available in one package. Schedule your private tour today to discover the possibilities of this extraordinary waterfront property.
