The story
TURN-KEY LAKEPORT RETREAT JUST STEPS FROM LAKE OKEECHOBEE! If fishing, boating and laid-back Old Florida living are calling your name, this furnished 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath manufactured home puts you right in the heart of it. Built in 1980 and situated on a 0.16-acre corner lot, the property feels much larger thanks to its open lawn and corner location. Offering 728 sq. ft. under air and approximately 1,028 total sq. ft., the home is being sold turn-key, making it an ideal seasonal getaway, fishing retreat, weekend escape or full-time residence. Inside, cedar and wood-accented walls create a warm, rustic cabin-like feel perfectly suited to the lakeside setting. The floor plan includes two bedrooms, one full bath and one half bath, kitchen, dining area and comfortable living space. While there is no central A/C, the existing window unit effectively cools the entire home. Handicap-accessible features add convenience, and covered parking provides protection from the Florida sun and weather. For the serious angler, one of the property's most unique features is the approximately 9' x 8' fish-cleaning house added in 2019—a fitting addition when you live this close to one of Florida's most legendary fisheries. The property also includes a detached storage shed, screened outdoor space and room for fishing equipment, coolers and outdoor gear. Lake Okeechobee, Florida's largest lake at approximately 730 square miles, has shaped the history, ecology and culture of this region for generations. Its name is commonly translated from Seminole as “Big Water,” and today the lake is nationally recognized as one of the country's premier freshwater fishing destinations. Anglers come from near and far in pursuit of largemouth bass, black crappie (“specks”), bluegill, redear sunfish and catfish. Lakeport offers the kind of lifestyle that is becoming harder to find in Florida—quiet roads, open skies, friendly surroundings and legendary Lake Okeechobee practically in your backyard. Whether you're searching for an affordable Florida winter home, dedicated fishing camp, weekend escape or a simpler full-time lifestyle, this property offers a great combination of location and functionality. Bring your fishing rods and your suitcase—the rest is already here! With a turn-key interior, corner lot, handicap accessibility, covered parking, storage, dedicated fish-cleaning space and a location just feet from Lake Okeechobee, this one is ready for its next owner.
