Description of Property
Experience the ultimate live-work-play lifestyle at this rare Highlands County retreat featuring a updated 2-story, 2,400 SF lakefront home with wraparound porches, paired with over 10,000 SF of insulated steel hangars and workshops alongside a private 2,000’ grass airstrip.

Situated on just under 1.65 private acres on a quiet dead-end street surrounded by orange groves, this one-of-a-kind property offers lakefront living, fly-in access, massive workspace, and room for all your toys, hobbies, and business needs—all just 15 minutes from Sebring, Sebring International Raceway, and the Sebring Airport. The home features 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, breathtaking sunrise and sunset views, and expansive country-style wraparound porches overlooking the lake and runway. A private concrete boat ramp makes it easy to launch your boat, tinker with projects, or enjoy the waterfront lifestyle. The insulated airplane hangars can accommodate multiple airplanes, RVs, boats, race cars, trucks, agricultural equipment, or virtually any large-scale hobby or business operation. Equipped with 220V electric, built-in air lines for tools, an air-conditioned workshop, and office space, the property is ideal for mechanics, aviation enthusiasts, fabricators, collectors, contractors, or entrepreneurs looking to combine business, storage, and recreation in one location. Additional improvements include a separate storage/workshop building perfect for a paint booth or additional garage space, plus a 20x15 poultry barn with six stalls and feed room for animals or hobby farming. Mature mango trees and peaceful rural surroundings complete the setting. A truly rare opportunity to own lakefront property with hangars, runway access, workshop space, and a comfortable country home—all in one.
