With no HOA, direct lake access, exceptional privacy, and a strategic location between Tampa and Orlando, the possibilities are compelling. Offering 7,000+ sqft of living space, 9,800+ sqft under roof, 1,200+ sqft of garage/storage space, and over an acre of private lakefront land, the estate is designed for both everyday living and memorable gatherings. For the seaplane enthusiast, imagine arriving home on the water, hosting fellow pilots for fly-in gatherings, or establishing a private lakefront base in the heart of Florida.

The oversized kitchen is built to accommodate a crowd with abundant storage and prep space, full-size refrigerator and freezer, and ice maker—ideal for entertaining family, friends, or aviation groups. The private primary suite enjoys lake views, a dressing area, dual walk-in closets, and spa-inspired bath with dual vanities and an oversized sunken walk-in shower. Four additional bedrooms provide accommodations for family, guests, or visiting pilots. A standout celebration/pool room creates an entertainment venue of its own with tongue-and-groove walls, upper loft, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and laundry—perfect for parties, game nights, pilot meetups, club gatherings, or overnight guests while the main residence remains a peaceful retreat. Outside, a covered lanai with soaring wood ceilings features a commercial-style outdoor kitchen, built-in grill, and expansive dining and lounge areas overlooking the screened pool, spa, and lake. Lake Cummings offers boating, fishing, and seaplane accessibility. The secluded end-of-road setting, private lake, no HOA, generous grounds, extensive parking, oversized garage/storage, guest accommodations, and impressive entertaining spaces create intriguing possibilities for a seaplane owner, aviation group, or investor seeking a distinctive Central Florida property. Additional highlights include a circular driveway, whole-house Generac generator, abundant storage, and screened garden/potting area. Located in Lake Alfred just 15 minutes from I-4, the estate provides convenient access to Lakeland, Winter Haven, Orlando, Tampa, major airports, shopping, dining, and healthcare. At approximately $179/sqft, this property offers remarkable scale, waterfront acreage, privacy, and versatility. More than a luxury lakefront residence, it has the potential to become a true Central Florida seaplane home base—a place to land, gather, entertain, stay, and enjoy Florida lakefront living from an entirely different perspective.
