Florida
Lake Rosalie real estate is considered a beautiful, but less active, market for lake homes and lake lots in Florida.
There are typically around 10 lake homes for sale on Lake Rosalie at any given time. The lake will usually have around 20 or so lake lots and land for sale.
This lake is one of Florida's largest lakes and has a shoreline of 10 miles.
Lake Rosalie is located in Polk County, Florida. The lake is only 50 miles from Kissimmee and 75 miles from Orlando and Disney World.
Convenient to tourist attractions but away from the busy streets, the City of Lake Wales is only 13 miles away where visitors can easily access golf courses, shopping centers and restaurants.
Lake Rosalie gains waters from Lake Weohyakapka and is only separated by a state park from Lake Kissimmee.
The body of water covers 4,530 acres, with a maximum depth of 61 feet and an average of 15 feet.
Popular fish found in this lake include largemouth bass, gar, pickerel and white catfish.
Pontooning, kayaking and canoeing are enjoyed on the lake by visitors. However, water skiing and jet skis are not permitted and swimming is not encouraged due to alligators.
On the northwest side of the lake resides David Allen Broussard Catfish Creek State Park. This park features six miles of hiking trails and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.
Lake Kissimmee State Park is located on the east side of the lake and offers horseback rides, a playground, campgrounds and many amenities that are family-friendly.
Just minutes away in the City of Lake Wales, other exciting activities include the Florida Skydiving Center, an opportunity to take a sky dive of more than 18,000 feet from a plane and Fiddlers Ridge Farms & Winery, a chance to live a day in the life of a winery and have a wine tasting experience.
Lake Rosalie is the perfect place to experience lake life, while also being convenient and away from the hustle of the nearby cities.
