Over Half An Acre (.61 AC), nestled along the serene, ski-sized Lake Ellen in North Tampa, this rare lakefront property offers privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Build a Custom Home or enjoy a quaint fully renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage surrounded by lush wetlands, bamboo, and stunning waterfront views— there's no question this is a rare, peaceful retreat. The cottage blends modern comforts with charm, featuring luxury vinyl floors, custom cabinetry, a glass shower, sleek tilework, and two mini-split AC units and washer/dryer. Wake up to the sunrise over the lake, with owls and waterfowl as your tranquil neighbors.

The current owners even have architectural plans for a stunning modern 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, which they’re willing to sell with the property. Whether you choose to live in the cottage while building, use it for rental income, or keep it as a guest retreat, the possibilities are endless. This is not your ordinary lakefront property—it’s a rare gem reserved for a discerning buyer who values privacy, nature, and the convenience of an ideal location.
