HOME DETAILS: Built in 2006, this canal-front home has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, located conveniently on opposite sides of the home. The kitchen is open to the vaulted dining and living area, with views of the canal. The indoor laundry space and pantry are tucked in the back of the kitchen. The bonus for this home is the garage space. If you want a garage, you can drive your two vehicles in and close the door. However, the garage is heated and cooled and the floor has been finished, so the room can be used as a game room, additional indoor living space, a private patio using the pull-down screen door, or bunk space when every relative you know wants to visit the same weekend! Appliances are newer and the roof was replaced in 2021. PROPERTY DETAILS: A small number of homes in this community have access to the largest lake in Polk County -- and this is one of them. The lot is designed to maximize the 110 feet of canal frontage. You can enjoy sunsets over the canal from windows and sliding doors on the back of the house. There is a privacy fence on the South side where you share a border with a neighbor. The North side is open to the neighboring vacant lot. Private septic and well. NEIGHBORHOOD DETAILS: The neighborhood was established in the 1950s with over 8000 lots, each one-half acre or more. The lots have all been sold, but less than 10% of the lots have been developed. All lot owners and homeowners contribute to the maintenance of the community property and amenities through the annual license and maintenance fee, less than $400 for the entire year! The 18-hole, public golf course (designed by Gary Cobb!) is open to the public and residents pay to play, like everyone else. (Ask about the 9-hole, 3-par, executive course). There is a driving range, a putting green, cart storage and private roads so you can pack up your clubs on your golf cart and leisurely drive to the clubhouse to meet friends for your tee time. There is a clubhouse restaurant, open 7 days a week, along with additional restaurants in the commercial district of the community when you want something quick. Join neighbors at the clubhouse for dart games, karaoke, trivia night, bingo, dances, card games, tennis, and pickleball. ILE also boasts a donation library for residents with over 7000 books, DVDs, and puzzles. Indian Lake Estates (ILE) balances dozens of activities with a community respect of privacy. FLORIDA DETAILS: Located just off State Route 60, this neighborhood is one hour to Vero Beach and just over an hour to Clearwater Beach, both Florida coasts a short distance from the ILE entrance. About 75 minutes to the Orlando attractions, Orlando International Airport, the Brightline, and just over 90 minutes to Tampa. Lake Wales is the closest town for all your basic needs, but drive a little further to Winter Haven for everything extra you might want. 30 minutes to the Florida Turnpike and less than 30 minutes to Hwy 27, a major north-south route to Tallahassee and Naples.
