Stunning Golf Course and Lake Views in the Exclusive Deer Island Club Community. Discover refined island living at its finest in this beautifully upgraded home on Deer Island — a secluded 400-acre paradise nestled within Florida’s renowned Harris Chain of Lakes. Offering sweeping views across the fairways of Deer Island Country Club golf course and Lake Beauclair, this residence sits in a private setting with no rear neighbors. Its unique positioning allows you to enjoy both breathtaking sunrises over the lake and vibrant sunsets across the golf course. The current owners have thoughtfully enhanced the home, creating a true move-in-ready gem. Inside, you’ll find a spacious split-bedroom layout with high ceilings and an open floor plan that feels bright and airy. Ceiling fans throughout add comfort, while a versatile bonus/flex room — currently used as a gym — offers flexible options as a home office, guest space, or additional living area. Recent upgrades include elegant chair rails, fresh interior and exterior paint, new engineered wood flooring, and a fully remodelled primary bath featuring a custom walk-in closet. All electrical switches, outlets, lights, fans and smoke detectors have been replaced, in addition to the highest quality switch & outlet plate covers. The great room has a freestanding electric fireplace, that the owners will be leaving. The tile roof has been professionally inspected and cleaned, water heater (2022), and the A/C system carries a transferable warranty through 2029 (with all ducts recently cleaned and the blower replaced). Outside, a generous driveway accommodates up to four cars and leads to the two-car garage. A screened front porch provides the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee while watching the sunrise over Lake Beauclair. At the rear, stacking sliders open to a large screened porch overlooking the 8th fairway — an ideal space for entertaining or simply soaking in the views. The home also features modern blinds throughout, with automated electrical blinds on the great room sliders. The irrigation system has been recently upgraded with all-new sprinkler heads. Deer Island Country Club is home to Central Florida’s only island golf course—a semi-private, 18-hole championship layout designed by the legendary architect Joe Lee and opened in 1994. This unique course winds through environmentally protected wetlands with Joe Lee’s signature style: undulating greens, strategically placed visible hazards, distinctive finger-style bunkers, and multiple water features that challenge yet delight golfers of all levels. Beyond golf, the club offers superb amenities, dining at The 19th Wave, and a welcoming community atmosphere focused on the island lifestyle.

$515,000

Virtually Staged. Welcome nature lovers and boat enthusiasts! This is your opportunity to enjoy living along the shores of the beautiful Harris Chain of Lakes, without the waterfront price tag! This popular community on Lake Beauclaire is situated between Mount Dora and Tavares on the south side of the Harris Chain of Lakes. By boat, you are about 20 minutes to public docks in downtown Mount Dora and 25 minutes to the seaplane base and docks in downtown Tavares. As you drive back toward Beauclaire Court, you will see that careful consideration was taken by the community to ensure that properties continue to adhere to the rural lifestyle that is appreciated back here. When you pull into your driveway, you will immediately notice the skill and care put into the landscaping. Every little detail was carefully planned and lovingly maintained. The long paver driveway offers an abundance of parking for cars, trailers, etc. There is a 3 car garage with the 3rd stall separated from the main garage. That separate stall is air conditioned and heated by the main HVAC for the home. It still has the overhead door in case you want to use it for parking and the doors are insulated to keep heat out. It could be used as a workshop, man cave, game room, craft room, library, and many other uses. Inside the home, you will find an open floorplan that is great for entertaining. The large kitchen has custom wood cabinetry, accent lighting, a built in desk, lots of pantry space, and stainless appliances. The cabinets have pull out drawers for easy access to all your kitchen gear. There is a bar area for seating and a separate breakfast nook for a casual dining space next to the kitchen. It overlooks the living room and there is also a huge family room (or would be a perfect spot for a large dining room table for big gatherings). This space is light and bright as it overlooks the pristine gardens in the back yard. There is also a large screened lanai for entertaining and dining space. A great layout for cooler days when you can open up and fill the home with fresh air! Back inside, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms (also with custom wood cabinetry), as well as an inside utility room and half bath just inside from the garage. The 3rd bedroom currently has French doors to make it a light and bright office but also has a closet so you can use it as a bedroom. All throughout the home, there are plantation shutters on all the windows, including shutters for the sliding doors along the back of the home. The yard is amazing with it's paver walkways (which extend 360 degrees around the property), five foot aluminum fenced in area with river rock and pea gravel, storage shed, and lush greenery everywhere. The yard backs up to a densely wooded area, allowing you to simply enjoy the sounds of nature and peace. The home is wired for an external portable home generator, however the generator is NOT included. There is a LOT of storage here and the attic has plywood flooring for a large area for additional storage. This home is move-in ready so you can start enjoying the pleasures of living in a lakefront community!
