Property Description

Picture yourself on your covered patio, lake stretching out behind you, kids already at the park, and the whole weekend still ahead. This is The Orchards of Westlake -- and this lakefront six-bedroom is one of the best positioned homes in it. Nearly 4,000 SF of 2024 new construction. 4.5 baths. Gas kitchen with quartz countertops. Tile main floor, main-level bedroom suite, primary with lake views. 100 feet of waterfront. 2-car garage. Gated. Golf cart to Publix and Planet Fitness. No CDD fees. $22M park with pool, pickleball, basketball, and BMX two minutes from your front door. The city is still being built -- which means you're locking in today's price with tomorrow's infrastructure already permitted. Let me tell you about Westlake, because most people who haven't been here yet picture it wrong. They hear "western Palm Beach County" and they think distance. They think you're trading convenience for space -- that there's a catch buried somewhere in the price per square foot. Five years ago, that instinct would have been right. Today it's just outdated information being passed around by people who haven't driven out here recently. Westlake is Palm Beach County's newest city. Incorporated in 2016. Purpose-built from the ground up on 3,800 acres. Not a subdivision. Not a master-planned development with a single builder and a sales center that closes when the last lot sells. A city -- with its own infrastructure, its own commercial corridor going up block by block, its own governance, and a master plan that reads like someone finally sat down and thought hard about what a Florida community should actually feel like to live in. Here is the number that matters before anything else: Westlake has no CDD fees. In a county where community development district fees routinely add $2,000 to $4,000 a year to the cost of owning a home -- on top of HOA, on top of taxes, on top of insurance -- that is not a small thing. The Orchards is Minto's fifth neighborhood inside Westlake. Three hundred fifty-eight homesites, most on the water, all of them gated. Liberty Lane runs along the lake. Lot 580 sits on one hundred feet of waterfront. When you walk out the back door, the water opens up in front of you and there is nothing between you and the far bank but light. This is not a retention pond behind a berm. This is the view they put on the cover. Six bedrooms. Four and a half baths. Three thousand nine hundred ninety-seven square feet. Built in 2024 -- so everything is new. The roof, the AC, the appliances, the water heater, the plumbing, the electrical. You are not inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance. You are the first family to use this kitchen. That kitchen has quartz countertops, a gas range, wood cabinets that run to the ceiling, and enough counter space to actually cook. The main floor is tile throughout -- cool underfoot, easy to clean, the right call in Florida year-round. Upstairs, carpet in the bedrooms where you want warmth and quiet underfoot at six in the morning. Here is where this floor plan earns its price. There is a full bedroom and a full bathroom on the main floor. That is intentional architecture for the way families actually live in 2025. For the family bringing mom or dad down from New Jersey because the winters finally won -- that room is everything. Private space on the main level, no stairs, independence maintained, family kept close. Nobody has to negotiate the staircase at two in the morning. For the family without that situation yet -- it is the guest suite that actually functions. Visitors get their own floor, their own bath, and their own entry to the outdoors. They stop being house guests and start feeling like they have a place here. The primary suite is upstairs, facing the lake. Your morning starts with that water view before the day has asked anything of you. The remaining four bedrooms are real rooms -- not offices relabeled to inflate the count, not bonus rooms with no closets. Two become kids' room
