Description

Build your custom lakefront estate on Lot 48, a 2.19-acre east-facing homesite in the guard-gated community of Stonelake Ranch with approximately 527 feet of frontage on Lake Thonotosassa, the largest natural lake in Hillsborough County at approximately 880 acres. This is a dockable lot, so you can design a private dock for your boat, and water skiing is permitted on the lake. Morning sun rises over the water, with views toward the Bird Island Sanctuary and filtered views of Hendry Lake, a 37-acre private waterfowl sanctuary, and the 100-acre meadow preserve. The homesite sits just steps from the Lakeside Lodge clubhouse, and its generous depth offers room for a main residence, pool, outdoor living areas and lakefront lawn, subject to deed restrictions and approvals. Imagine mornings with coffee on the dock, afternoons fishing or paddling, and evenings watching herons and egrets return to the sanctuary. Underground utilities, propane and cable are available; a well and septic system will be needed. Zoned PD with deed restrictions that protect the quality of the community, and you may bring the builder of your choice. Stonelake Ranch is a 680-acre private enclave with more than 240 acres of common area, a community boat ramp with direct access to Lake Thonotosassa, a fishing and paddling lake for canoes, kayaks and paddle boats, a lakeside lodge with fitness center, tennis and basketball courts, a playground, an extensive trail system and the meadow preserve for walking, hiking and horseback riding. Horses and golf carts are allowed, and the quarterly association fee includes the 24-hour guarded entry, RV and boat storage, recreational facilities and professional management.
