About this home
8083 WATERBEND TRAIL
If you love nature, wildlife, and real privacy, this is the home. Set on the second-largest lot in Lakehouse Cove, this 4-bedroom residence sits between a wildlife preserve out front and more than 2,200 feet of long lake views out back. Neighbors stay at a comfortable distance. The lake itself sits on the path to Celery Fields Wildlife Habitat, so birds and other wildlife feed here and continue on their way. Walk through the front door and the lake is the first thing you see. The open floor plan, created by removing columns for a true great-room feel, pairs with a split-bedroom layout. Builder upgrades include an extended garage, a half bath, tray ceilings, 3-zone AC, impact windows and doors, upgraded tile, cabinets and counters, and plantation shutters. Outside, an extended covered patio with a summer kitchen, heated saltwater pool, and a frameless screen keeps the water views completely unobstructed. It’s built for mornings and evenings on the lake. Properties with this combination of lot size, lake frontage, and preserve setting don’t come up often.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
