About this home

Hidden away in one of San Carlos Park’s most enchanting and little-known locations lies this private lakefront retreat on Rose Apple Lake—a serene, storybook setting enjoyed by only 15 fortunate property owners. As you approach this area, the scenery begins to shift. As you wind your way into this secluded pocket of San Carlos Park, the surroundings begin to transform. Towering trees arch overhead, and lush tropical foliage wraps around the road like nature’s own welcome. It feels as though you’ve stepped through the gates of a secret garden—one so hidden and serene, even longtime locals don’t know it exists. Tucked along the lake’s edge, this nearly 1,700 square foot home is perfectly positioned to enjoy sweeping western views and breathtaking Florida sunsets. Inside you’ll love the great room-style floorplan with soaring cathedral ceilings, 8-foot pocketing sliders, and LifeProof luxury vinyl plank flooring. The open layout offers three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, all with walk-in closets. The primary suite, updated in 2023, features sliders to the lanai, dual sinks, a soaking tub and a separate walk-in shower. The kitchen has been tastefully modernized with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, large pantry and a center island perfect for casual meals or entertaining. Practical upgrades include a new dimensional shingle roof in 2023, tankless hot water heater 2023 and a new well pump 2022. The exterior of the home was freshly painted in 2025 and features whole-house gutters. The 10’ x 15’ storage shed is equipped with power, offering ample storage for tools and equipment so your garage can stay clear for vehicles and weekend toys. Just beyond the indoor comforts lie a spacious under-truss screened lanai offers a front-row seat to the peaceful waters of Rose Apple Lake. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee, unwinding at sunset, or envisioning a future spa or hot tub—the setting is ideal for relaxing and recharging. A nearby open-air deck and lakeside firepit seating area set the stage for cozy evenings under the stars, complete with a year’s supply of kindling ready and waiting. Spend your days fishing or kayaking in your own backyard, surrounded by the vibrant blooms of the Royal Poinciana and healthy herbal tea from your own Moringa tree. This is the kind of place where nature, comfort and simple pleasures come together effortlessly. This great little neighborhood is not in a flood zone, so no flood insurance is required. And a few more no’s we actually like … no HOA fees, no pet restrictions and no rental restrictions. You’ll enjoy a lifestyle of freedom and flexibility that’s hard to find. This one-of-a-kind home offers a peaceful escape in an incredibly rare setting. Whether you’re searching for your primary home or a weekend hideaway, Rose Apple Lake is the kind of place you truly have to see to believe. Come experience one of Southwest Florida’s best-kept secrets—before the secret escapes you!
