728 Lake Betty Dr, Lake Placid, FL 33852

This incredible lakefront property has been cherished by the same family since it was built — a true gathering place filled with memories and ready for the next family to make their own. Situated on over an acre of land (4 contiguous lots plus an additional lot across the street), this property offers so much potential. The extra lot across the road could be ideal for another workshop, guest house, or additional parking — check with county zoning for permitted uses. The home features thoughtfully designed details for both comfort and practicality. Two bedroom windows include interior handles allowing the ironwork to swing open, and the layout was designed for easy lock-and-leave living with storm shutters, window bars, and a rooftop-mounted A/C unit for added protection. Though the home sits high and outside any flood zone, it was built with resilience in mind. The workshop is a hobbyist’s dream — equipped with electricity and originally designed with the potential to be converted into a mother-in-law suite. It’s connected to the main home via a gated, covered drive-through breezeway, which overlooks the lake and captures incredible cross-breezes. A clever fold-out outdoor shower adds to the breezeway’s charm and functionality. Most furniture is included, with only a few marked exceptions. Enjoy optional membership (not an HOA) in the Sun ‘N Lakes Community Organization, which provides access to an impressive list of amenities: a park with white sandy beach and two docks on Lake Grassy, playground, tennis and shuffleboard courts, softball diamond, soccer field, and a marina with canal access to the lake. The clubhouse hosts regular events — from pancake breakfasts and monthly dinners to line dancing and card games — all detailed in the community newsletter, The Sun ‘N Lakes Reporter. Experience the perfect blend of lakefront living, community charm, and development potential — whether you’re looking to create a family compound, add additional dwellings, design a grand garden, or simply enjoy peaceful lake views for years to come.
