Welcome to 22481 Southshore Drive, a rare waterfront retreat in the highly sought-after Lake Padgett Estates of Land O’ Lakes, Florida. Situated on an oversized .38-acre lot at the opening of a canal leading directly to East Lake, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home with just under 2,100 square feet offers the ultimate Florida lifestyle in a private ski-lake community. Roof was installed in 2023, 2022 A/C, 2022 windows, and 2023 septic tank and freshly painted interior and exterior. Enjoy direct access to East Lake, a 100+ acre private ski lake featuring a slalom ski course, along with exclusive use of a gated waterfront park complete with basketball courts, pavilions, and a playground. Lake Padgett Estates is also famous for its golf-cart-friendly streets and access to multiple private ski lakes, including Lake Padgett, a 180-acre lake with waterfront restaurants and bars you can pull up to by boat and Lake Saxon, an 83 acre private ski lake. The backyard is an entertainer’s dream, highlighted by an enormous 10-foot-deep swimming pool with a rock waterfall, all under a screened enclosure. An oversized 800-square-foot covered back porch with an attached bar creates the perfect space for hosting, while the expansive backyard is ideal for sunset fire pits and evening boat rides. A fully fenced side yard provides added safety for children and pets, and extra paved parking allows you to store boats, trailers, or an RV right on your own property. Inside, the home features real hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas. The spacious kitchen offers hardwood cabinetry and granite countertops, with a quartz backsplash making it both functional and inviting. The interior has been freshly painted, and the primary bathroom has been completely remodeled with modern 2025 finishes, showcasing large contemporary tile, a stunning standalone soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower—reminiscent of a luxury five-star hotel. Pool maintenance is included, adding even more value and convenience. This is a rare opportunity to own a true waterfront home in one of the most desirable communities, where boating, skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, sunsets, and golf-cart living are part of everyday life. 5 minutes to Publix. 5 minutes to TGH Urgent Care & 15 minutes to I-75.
