13 LAKES · OUTSTANDING FLORIDA WATERS

Butler Chain of Lakes

Thirteen interconnected lakes and more than 5,000 acres of navigable water, designated Outstanding Florida Waters since 1985, make this the most exclusive freshwater address in Central Florida. Its shores hold Isleworth, Keene's Pointe, the Reserve at Lake Butler Sound, and the town of Windermere — where the dock, not the driveway, defines daily life.

Ryan's Take on Butler Chain of Lakes

The Butler Chain is one of the most remarkable natural features in Central Florida — 13 interconnected freshwater lakes stretching more than 11 navigable miles, with over 30 canals connecting them. Florida designated it an Outstanding Florida Waters landmark in 1985, the first community in the state to earn that designation.

Buying here means buying a community, not just an address. Isleworth is invitation-only with an Arnold Palmer course. Keene's Pointe is anchored by a Jack Nicklaus Signature course and is actively accepting new members. The Reserve at Lake Butler Sound and the Town of Windermere serve different budget thresholds and lifestyle profiles — all connected by the same water.

Windermere Elementary and Windermere High are consistently strong in OCPS. The public boat ramp at R.D. Keene Park on Lake Tibet-Butler gives non-residents a sense of what full-time access looks like. Bird Island in Wauseon Bay has hosted an Audubon rookery since 1958 — a no-wake zone that reflects the conservation stewardship woven into this area's identity. For buyers where water recreation and a Windermere address are both non-negotiable, there is no equivalent in Orlando.
