Lake Butler - Orange real estate is a tight inventory market for lake homes and land in Florida.
There are typically very few lake homes for sale on Lake Butler - Orange, and very few lots and land listings available.
Also called Lake Tarpon, this lake is one of Florida's largest lakes and has 16 miles of shoreline. The closest major airport, Tampa International Airport, is only 21 miles away.
They say location is everything, and in this case, "they" would be right.
The largest of the 11 lakes in the Butler Chain of Lakes, Lake Butler is located in the small town of Windermere in Florida's Orange County, just 12 miles away from Orlando and its many attractions like SeaWorld and Walt Disney World.
The lake covers a surface area of 1,665 acres and has an average depth of 14 feet.
Considered to be one of Florida's most sought after lakefront properties, the Butler Chain of Lakes is known for its high water quality and gorgeous scenic views. It was even deemed as "Outstanding Florida Waters" by Florida's Department of Environmental Regulation.
Lake-goers and residents of Lake Butler enjoy waterskiing, jetskiing and fishing.
The abundant vegetation, high water quality and deep ridges make the lake full of hefty populations of largemouth bass and bluegill year-round.
A number of high-profile celebrities like Shaquille O'Neil, Tiger Woods and Mark O'Meara call the community home, no doubt drawn in by the serenity of beautiful lakefront views as well as the convenient location.
To be on the outskirts of a booming metropolitan like Orlando, Lake Butler and the surrounding community manages to maintain the small town charm many lake-goers crave and also offer one of Florida's most desirable lakeside communities in the midst of a pristine natural setting.
