A gated Windermere community on Lake Butler, built around a Jack Nicklaus–designed golf course — with a wide range of estate and interior homes.
Living in Keene’s Pointe
Keene’s Pointe sits on the shores of Lake Butler, the largest lake on the Butler Chain, in southwest Orange County. Behind its gates, the community blends lakefront estates with golf-course and interior homes, so buyers can find a fit across a broader range of sizes and prices than in smaller enclaves.
Its golf course was designed by Jack Nicklaus, and the community’s parks, paths, and lakeside spaces offer space, gated security, and a short drive to Dr. Phillips and the Windermere town center.
