About this property
Escape to Beautiful Lake Lily
Spacious well appointed water front home on beautiful Lake Lily. Enjoy all your favorite water activities on this clear sandy bottom lake. Fishing, swimming, skiing, kayaking, paddle boarding or just sitting and enjoying the views from the dock or the back deck. Mature cypress pine and oak trees provide shade as well as habitat for many varieties of north Florida birds. Eagles are regular visitors to the lake as they enjoy the abundant fish. The home is an open floor plan that boasts 3 spacious bedrooms, a large and functional kitchen with an adjacent dining room that can accommodate up to 10 and a comfortable living room. There is a large deck off the family room overlooking the lake and there is another deck at the waters edge adjacent to the dock. In case of inclement weather, there is also a large covered patio area with picnic tables that can provide shade or an escape from the sun.
