About this home
5572 S MARLIN POINT
Discover a truly one-of-a-kind waterfront home where Old Florida charm, modern updates, and an unbeatable natural setting come together. Nestled on a canal with direct access to Church Lake and the Tsala Apopka Chain of Lakes, this spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home with a dedicated office offers the perfect blend of character, functionality, and waterfront living. Originally built in 1971 as a fishing camp, the home was thoughtfully expanded in 2002 with a second-story addition, creating the spacious layout you see today while preserving its unique history and charm. Positioned directly across from the Flying Eagle Preserve, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of thousands of acres of protected conservation land with no rear neighbors, providing exceptional privacy and abundant wildlife right outside your door. The main living area was designed to showcase the peaceful canal views, while the expansive deck offers the perfect place to relax, entertain, or enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the water. Warm wood finishes throughout the home create a welcoming atmosphere that complements its waterfront setting. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, while numerous major improvements provide added peace of mind, including a new roof (2023), updated electrical panel and wiring, electric whole-house tankless water heater, new septic system and drainfield (2024), separate HVAC systems for each floor, and a replaced downstairs subfloor. Additional features include a downstairs laundry room with a convenient laundry chute, a fully fenced yard with an electric gate, and a public boat ramp located approximately 75 yards away, making it easy to enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, and everything the Tsala Apopka Chain has to offer. Although located in a flood zone, this home has never flooded and includes a transferable flood insurance policy currently costing just $571 per year. Opportunities like this are rare. With its rich history, generous living space, extensive updates, direct water access, and protected conservation views, this is more than just a home, it’s a chance to own a truly special piece of Florida waterfront living.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
