Welcome to Tour Tuesday, where we explore exceptional neighborhoods near Walt Disney World that offer more than convenience…they offer a complete lifestyle.
Today, we’re heading to a quiet, upscale pocket of Windermere that’s a hidden gem even among locals:
✨ Lake Cawood Estates
This small, gated community offers elegant custom homes, tranquil lake views, and all the privacy you could want—just minutes from the magic.
📍 Where Is Lake Cawood Estates?
Tucked along Winter Garden Vineland Road, Lake Cawood Estates is situated between Windermere Prep and downtown Windermere, with easy access to:
- 🏰 Walt Disney World – ~20 minutes to the front gates
- 🛍️ Winter Garden Village – 10 minutes
- 🏫 A-rated schools like Windermere High and Windermere Prep
- 🌴 Butler Chain of Lakes recreation
- 🚗 Easy routes to Horizon West, Hamlin, and downtown Orlando
It’s perfectly positioned to balance quiet retreat with modern convenience.
🏘️ What Makes Lake Cawood Estates Unique?
This isn’t a massive master-planned development.
It’s a boutique, gated enclave of luxury properties…each one custom-built and generously sized.
🏡 Features include:
- Estate-style homes ranging from 3,500–7,000+ sq ft
- Oversized half-acre+ lots with mature landscaping
- Stunning lakefront and conservation views
- 3- to 6-car garages, pool homes, and true indoor/outdoor living
- Mediterranean, Traditional, and Transitional architectural styles
🧱 Many homes were built in the early 2000s, giving the neighborhood a mature, established feel—not a cookie-cutter aesthetic.
💰 Prices generally range from $1.3M to over $2.5M, depending on size, view, and upgrades.
