About This Property
Imagine waking up to the sun glistening off Lake Buffum, framed by a majestic canopy of mature cypress trees that define this stunning one-acre retreat. This isn't just a house; it’s a custom-built sanctuary designed with an uncompromising commitment to quality, from the solid wood doors and intricate woodwork to the custom cabinetry and high-spec wiring and plumbing. Its structural integrity is tried and true, having stood firm through three hurricanes without a scratch. The heavy lifting has already been done for you: a new metal roof was installed in 2021, the A/C is brand new as of 2025, and the exterior received a fresh coat of paint in 2026. Outside, the sprawling grounds stay lush thanks to a Rainbird irrigation system, leading you down to a private dock equipped with an electric lift and power—ready for sunset cruises at a moment's notice. Offered "As-Is" and inclusive of the stove, refrigerator, and microwave, this home is truly turnkey. Even the 2026 HOA dues are already paid, leaving you nothing to do but grab your keys and head to the water. Opportunities to own a piece of the lakefront this well-maintained are rare—don't let this one sail away.
