About this property
Hot Tub~Lakefront~2 Fire Pits~Pedal Boat~Fishing
Welcome to our beautifully renovated A-frame lake house, tucked away in a quiet Melrose neighborhood. With private lake access, modern finishes, and peaceful surroundings, this retreat is the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway with friends or loved ones.
Step outside and enjoy everything this lakeside retreat has to offer. Spend your days on the private lake with a pedal boat or fishing, then unwind in the evenings around one of two fire pits under the stars. A spacious deck with a hot tub overlooks the water, while five hammocks invite you to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings.
Inside, the home features modern finishes, comfortable furnishings, and an open-concept living space with sweeping lake views. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare home-cooked meals, while the inviting layout creates the perfect setting to relax and reconnect.
Although the home feels private and secluded, it’s conveniently located just a short drive from Gainesville, Ocala, St. Augustine, Keystone Heights, Melrose Park, and Jacksonville. From dining and local events to parks and natural springs, you’ll find plenty of activities and attractions close by.
Whether you’re relaxing by the water, soaking in the hot tub, exploring nearby springs, or gathering around the fire with loved ones, this A-frame offers the perfect setting to slow down and create lasting memories.
