About this home

***Owner financing available! Seller will finance up to 50% of the purchase price at 7.5% interest with a 30-year amortization for approved buyers. Additional details available with a submitted offer. Do not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. WOW. ? Sunsets abound. Along the shoreline of Lake Weir in the Sandy Hook area, this lakefront residence offers 217 feet of sandy shoreline and no HOA. Relax on your expansive outdoor space and enjoy direct access to one of Central Florida’s established recreational lakes. On just over two acres, the property provides privacy, flexibility for outdoor improvements, and unobstructed water views. The home faces west across the lake, offering stunning sunset views over the water. The 2,204-square-foot residence includes three bedrooms and two baths with a split floor plan designed for entertaining and everyday living. An open kitchen connects to the main living and family areas, anchored by a double-sided fireplace that links the interior gathering spaces. Large windows and primary living areas frame views of the lake and surrounding landscape. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a bath with a walk-in shower, garden tub, and dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are positioned on the opposite side of the residence, providing separation for guests or family members. Additional improvements include a 40-by-36-foot detached building, suitable for equipment storage, workshop space, or hobby use—ideal for tools, lake gear, or recreational equipment. Outdoor living centers around the lakefront setting. A private dock extends into Lake Weir, providing access for boating, fishing, and waterfront recreation. The property’s sandy shoreline and open lake frontage create space for lakeside seating, swimming, and water activities. Lake Weir spans approximately 5,600 acres and is known for boating, fishing, and swimming. The Sandy Hook area features established homesites and a true lakefront lifestyle. PLEASE NOTE: The seller purchased the second lot referenced in April 2025. See attached survey. Most furniture is included; reach out for additional information.
