Property Description
Virtually Staged. Stunning Lakefront Pool Home on Lake Eckles! Tucked away at the end of a nearly 300-foot private paved driveway, this exceptional Forest Hills property offers remarkable privacy and a dramatic approach to the home. Set on approximately 0.72 acres along private 27-acre Lake Eckles, the expansive waterfront homesite features a distinctive peninsula-like setting surrounded by serene water views. Inside, the single-story residence offers 2,856 square feet of spacious living, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living areas, a fireplace, and beautiful lake views from many of the principal rooms. The living spaces open to an expansive screened lanai and sparkling private pool overlooking the water—an inviting setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying colorful Florida sunsets. Major recent improvements include a roof and pool enclosure completed under 2023 permits, along with an A/C system installed in 2024. The property also includes an additional parcel/tax ID and is zoned RS-100. Buyers should independently verify potential uses, development rights, setbacks, utilities, and permitting requirements with the City of Tampa. With generous space for parking, an RV, guests, and outdoor enjoyment, this remarkable property offers a rare combination of acreage, privacy, and waterfront living. Enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, and other waterfront recreation, subject to applicable lake-use rules. No mandatory HOA or CDD fees, subject to verification. Conveniently located near golf, shopping, dining, and downtown Tampa, this is a rare opportunity to own a private waterfront retreat in the heart of the city.
