Mansions on the Market: A retreat on Lake Hiawatha (PHOTOS)

Address: 19831 Michigan Avenue, Odessa

Specs: 4 bedrooms | 4.5 bathrooms | 5,678 square feet

List price: $3,750,000

This lakefront estate has 180-degree views of one of the largest, private freshwater, spring-fed lakes in Hillsborough County. Lake Hiawatha has two nature preserves, on the North and South sides of the lake, ensuring quiet refuge and an abundance of wildlife including deer, otters, various bird species, bald eagles and freshwater game fish. 

Tucked behind its privacy gate and private entry driveway, lined by crepe myrtle trees, this lakefront compound has more than 5,600 square feet of living space, which includes a top-of-the-line chef’s kitchen with all Viking appliances, warming drawers, granite countertops, an oversized island with additional prep sink and a wet bar, just off the hallway between the kitchen and billiard/seating room. 

Two upstairs en-suite bedrooms have views of the lake and a private outdoor seating area. Just off the main home is a detached, 900-square-foot art studio/office/gym with windows overlooking the lake. 

At the heart of the property, there is an original 1910 cypress wood barn, fully restored, in 2017, with cross beams, concrete polished floors, stage and lighting for live music performances and a bar that runs the length of the barn.
