About This Home

Tucked along the shoreline of Deer Lake, this exceptional lakefront retreat offers a rare blend of privacy, nature, & modern comfort. Situated on 1.24 acres with 194 feet of shoreline spanning a natural bend of Deer Lake, the property offers enhanced water views & a sense of privacy rarely found on standard lakefront lots. The property features expansive water views, including a scenic island, & a peaceful setting surrounded by natural landscape. The land directly across the lake is currently owned by Brevard County & connects to the expansive Buck Lake Wildlife Management Area, spanning more than 9,000 acres across Brevard & Volusia County, enhancing the property's natural views & sense of privacy.

Complementing the lakefront lifestyle, the home is located just minutes from the Florida Coast-to-Coast Connector Trail, providing convenient access to miles of scenic paths for biking, walking, & outdoor enjoyment.
