Nestled in the desirable Dr. Phillips and southern Windermere corridor of Orlando, Provence at Lake Sheen stands out as an intimate gated enclave offering residents a unique blend of privacy, luxury living, and direct access to one of Central Florida's premier waterway systems. This small community of just 36 single-family homes was developed by K. Hovnanian Homes between 2013 and 2014, creating a cohesive neighborhood with Mediterranean and Florida traditional architectural influences. Homes typically range from around 2,500 to over 4,600 square feet, featuring four to six bedrooms, tile roofs, stucco exteriors, and open-concept interiors designed for modern family living.
The community's location along Winter Garden Vineland Road provides convenient access to major attractions while maintaining a secluded feel. Residents benefit from quick drives to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld, as well as the vibrant dining scene along Restaurant Row on Sand Lake Road. The proximity to shopping centers like the Mall at Millenia and everyday conveniences such as Publix further enhances daily life without sacrificing the peaceful lakeside setting.
Lifestyle in Provence at Lake Sheen revolves around the natural beauty and recreational opportunities of the Butler Chain of Lakes. The private community boat ramp grants residents access to Lake Sheen and the interconnected chain spanning roughly 5,000 acres, ideal for boating, fishing, water skiing, and sunset cruises. This amenity sets the community apart, offering an exclusive water lifestyle typically associated with much larger or more expensive properties. The small scale fosters a close-knit atmosphere where neighbors know one another, and traffic remains minimal.
Real estate in the area features well-maintained homes on lots that include some with canal or pond frontage.
