The Water — 652 Feet of Lake Minneola and Thirteen Connected Lakes

Six hundred fifty-two feet of Lake Minneola belong to this parcel alone — and the water it opens onto is not a single lake but thirteen of them, connected and navigable, running from this shoreline to the restaurants of Downtown Clermont.

What 652 feet actually means

Frontage is the one feature on a lake that cannot be renovated, added, or negotiated into
existence. It is fixed at the moment the plat is drawn. Most lakefront parcels on the Clermont
Chain carry between eighty and a hundred and fifty feet of shoreline, which is enough for a dock
and a view and very little else. This parcel carries 652 feet.

The practical difference is privacy and orientation. At this width the shoreline curves, which
means the house looks out at open water rather than across at a neighbor’s dock. It also means
there is room to separate the working parts of waterfront life — the ramp, the lifts, the
boardwalk — from the parts you actually sit in. The cypress at the water’s edge catch the
first light of the morning, and the western exposure carries the sunset all the way through
dinner.

The dock, the lifts, and the ramp

A boardwalk runs from the pool terrace out past the cypress to a covered dock fitted with both
a boat lift and a jet ski lift. Alongside it sits a private boat ramp — an increasingly
uncommon feature, and the one that turns a lakefront home into a lakefront property. You
launch from your own land rather than from a public ramp on a Saturday morning.

The current owners keep a 2024 NX 270 Challenge and two Sea-Doos here. Those are available for
separate purchase by bill of sale — they are not included in the sale of the home —
but they do demonstrate what the dock is built to carry.

Thirteen lakes, one continuous system

Lake Minneola sits at the north end of the Clermont Chain of Lakes. The Chain is not a cluster
of separate ponds; it is a single connected, navigable system running from Cherry Lake in the
north to Lake Louisa in the south — thirteen lakes joined by canals and
the Palatlakaha River. From this dock you can run the whole system without trailering once.

That is the feature buyers underestimate until they own it. Dinner downtown becomes a boat
ride rather than a drive: Waterfront Park and the Downtown Clermont restaurant district sit
directly across the open water, with the South Lake Trail running the shoreline. South of that,
the Chain opens into quieter water and eventually into Lake Louisa and the state park that
carries its name.

We maintain a full guide to the system on our companion site — see the
Clermont Chain of Lakes guide, the
individual brief on Lake Minneola, and the
navigation notes on Cherry Lake at the north end and
Lake Louisa at the south. If you are still deciding
which water suits you, the find your lake tool compares all
thirteen side by side.

Why frontage of this length rarely trades

Recorded lakefront of this length on the Clermont Chain changes hands infrequently. Parcels
this wide were platted before the Chain’s shoreline was subdivided into the eighty- and
hundred-foot lots that dominate it today, and once split, they are never reassembled. When one
does come to market, it tends to set the reference point for the tier — which is what
happened here in February 2025, when this same address closed at $1,800,000 and became the
comparable everyone else on the Chain was measured against. We wrote about what that sale
signaled on the companion
site, and covered the renovation arc that preceded it
here.
