About this home
Welcome to your new home that also gives you an all-inclusive resort lifestyle! Tucked behind the 24/7 manned gatehouse of Lake Forest, this single-story gem delivers cozy, low-maintenance living, split bedroom layout, spacious family room, and a den/office. Talk about amenities: Dive into the Junior Olympic pool, lounge on the sun-shelf and catch some rays, un-wind in the heated spa or bring the little ones to the kiddie pool. You also get a private sand volleyball court near the beach, canoeing, kayaking, and two fishing docks right on the massive 55-acre lake. Challenge your neighbors on 5 lighted tennis courts, 4 lighted pickleball courts, or the dedicated basketball/sport court. Skip the gym membership for the community fitness center, or take advantage of 11 miles of tree-canopied streets perfect for running, biking, or dog walks through this lush wildlife habitat. Gather at the 10,000 sq. ft. clubhouse complete with a full kitchen and meeting rooms. Hang out at the playground, or join in on year-round community events, movie nights, and the signature Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. Lake Forest puts you minutes from SR 46, I-4, 417, 429, Colonial TownPark, and historic downtown Sanford. If you've been looking for single-story ease with an endless resort back yard, your search ends here!
