Lake Cawood Cove Homes for Sale

About Lake Cawood Cove Neighborhood

Lake Cawood Cove sits in the southwest corner of Windermere's 34786 ZIP code, at the corner of Winter Garden Vineland Road (CR 535) and Ficquette Road. The community is being developed by Ashton Woods, with sales beginning in 2025 and homes delivering across two distinct product lines: a 110-home townhome enclave and 17 lakefront single-family homesites along Lake Cawood's south shore.

The townhome plan offers three layouts — Cawood, Butler, and Cypress — each at 1,649 to 1,714 square feet, with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 2-car garages. The single-family floor plans (Plant, Moseley, Tuttle, Griffin, and Duval) range 2,226 to 4,063 square feet across one- and two-story configurations, with 3 to 6 bedrooms and 2 to 5.5 bathrooms. All single-family lots back onto Lake Cawood, a small inland lake separate from the Butler Chain.

The site puts buyers across the street from Windermere High School's entrance, less than half a mile from the Cornerstone at Summerport shopping center, and roughly the same distance from Orlando Health Medical Pavilion Summerport. SR 429 and the Florida Turnpike are about 3 miles away, putting Disney inside a 10-15 minute drive and downtown Orlando inside 25-30 minutes off-peak.

Lake Cawood Cove is the new-construction counterpart to the older, established Lake Cawood Estates immediately south on the same lake. Where Lake Cawood Estates is 32 custom estates on 1-acre lots built 1997-2021, Lake Cawood Cove is volume-builder townhome and single-family product on smaller lots — a meaningfully different price point and buyer profile despite the shared lake address.

Lake Cawood Cove Location & Connections

Lake Cawood Cove is positioned in the southwest 34786 corridor of Windermere, on the south shore of Lake Cawood at the intersection of Winter Garden Vineland Road (CR 535) and Ficquette Road. The CR 535 corridor is Windermere's primary southern artery — it runs north into downtown Windermere and Town Square, and south to Disney's western perimeter and the SR 429 / Florida Turnpike interchange. Reams Road sits just east of the community, connecting CR 535 with the broader Horizon West master-planned communities.

Lake Cawood Cove Amenities & Lifestyle

Lake Cawood Cove is built around an in-community pool with cabana and a playground, with the larger lifestyle draw being its position at the convergence of Windermere's southern shopping, dining, healthcare, and school resources. Buyers in this community gain access to the same CR 535 corridor amenities used by residents of Summerport, Lakeside, Windermere Trails, and Lakes of Windermere, without the older HOA dues and aging infrastructure of those communities.

The Lake Cawood frontage is the secondary differentiator. While Lake Cawood is not part of the Butler Chain — Windermere's marquee navigable lake system — the 17 single-family lots offer rear-yard lake views and small-watercraft access (kayaks, paddleboards, electric trolling boats) without the lakefront tax burden of Butler Chain frontage.

How Lake Cawood Cove Compares

Lake Cawood Cove sits in an unusual product position — it's the only new-construction community on the immediate CR 535 / Windermere High corridor, and its 110 townhomes give buyers a price-of-entry into 34786 that doesn't otherwise exist on this side of Windermere. The trade-off is straightforward: smaller homes, smaller lots, and HOA-managed grounds versus the established gated estates and master-planned communities nearby.

Lake Cawood Cove HOA & CDD Information

Lake Cawood Cove is a builder-developed community by Ashton Woods, currently in initial sales and delivery (2025-present). HOA documentation, fee schedules, and management contacts are typically transferred from the builder to a homeowner-elected board after a turnover threshold is reached. As of this writing, the structure may differ between the townhome line and the single-family line — published builder marketing has been inconsistent on whether one HOA covers both, or whether they are split.

CDD status for the parcel should also be verified directly with the developer — newer Windermere/Horizon West communities often carry CDD assessments, but Lake Cawood Cove's small total home count (127) is below the threshold typical for CDD-funded infrastructure.
