Windermere Real Estate

For a taste of luxury living surrounded by natural beauty, Windermere stands out as one of Central Florida’s most exclusive and picturesque towns. Nestled among crystal-clear, sand-bottom lakes, this charming West Orange community is a paradise for boating enthusiasts, thanks to the interconnected waterways of the renowned Butler Chain of Lakes.

Windermere’s name dates back to 1885, when Dr. Stanley Scott, whose father purchased 160 acres along Lake Butler, built his home on its shores. Inspired by England’s famous Lake Windermere, Dr. Scott is believed to have named the town in its honor.

Today, Windermere is home to just over 2,300 residents who are dedicated to preserving the town’s rich natural heritage and close-knit community feel. In fact, many of its roads remain unpaved—a deliberate choice to protect the area's rustic charm and the pristine character of the surrounding lakes. This commitment to the environment has earned Windermere the title of “Tree City USA” for an impressive ten consecutive years.
