Chaine Du Lac is a small, gated enclave in Windermere where estate homes sit on generous waterfront lots — the median home here runs over 10,000 square feet, so this is a community built for space and privacy rather than density. You're roughly 29 minutes from Walt Disney World, 24 from Universal Orlando, and 28 from downtown, which keeps the big draws close without putting them on your doorstep. Families are zoned for Windermere Elementary, Bridgewater Middle, and Windermere High, and neighbors of note include the estate communities of Isleworth, Keenes Pointe, and Lakeside Village.
This is a thin, high-end market: just two homes are active right now, both waterfront, gated, and with pools, listed between $4.6M and $15.5M. Over the past year only four homes sold, at a median of $2,775,000, with sellers collecting about 95% of asking. Inventory this scarce means the right property doesn't come around often, so serious buyers should be ready to move when it does.
Chaine Du Lac is a community in Windermere, Florida.
