Chaine Du Lac is a small, gated enclave of custom lakefront estates in the heart of Windermere's lake country, where homes sit on generous lots with private water frontage and pool decks that face the sunset. The setting draws the same buyers who consider Isleworth and Keenes Pointe — people who want privacy, space, and proximity to Orlando's attractions without living on top of them. It's roughly 29 minutes to Walt Disney World and 28 to downtown Orlando, so the location works whether you're commuting or just enjoying the quiet.
The market here is thin and top-heavy, which is exactly what you'd expect from an estate community this size. Right now there's a single active listing at $15,500,000, while the three homes sold over the past year had a median price of $3,150,000 — a wide gap that tells you inventory and pricing swing hard with each individual property. Sellers averaged 94% of asking, so serious offers still trade close to list. If this pocket is out of reach, the broader market of Windermere homes for sale and communities like Summerport and Lakeside Village offer more range.
Chaine Du Lac is a community in Windermere, Florida.

Chaine Du Lac FAQs
Is Chaine Du Lac a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want a private, gated lakefront setting with room to spread out — median lots support homes around 13,425 square feet. You're minutes from Windermere's town center and the theme parks, with assigned schools at Windermere Elementary, Bridgewater Middle, and Windermere High. It's quiet, low-density estate living rather than a walkable neighborhood.
Is Chaine Du Lac expensive?+
Yes — this is one of Windermere's high-end pockets. The single active listing is priced at $15,500,000, and even the typical sale over the past year landed at $3,150,000, with an average of $1,155 per square foot. Buyers looking for more accessible price points usually explore other Windermere homes for sale.
What do homes cost in Chaine Du Lac?+
Pricing spans a very wide range because inventory is so limited. The current active home is listed at $15,500,000, while the three homes sold in the last 12 months had a median price of $3,150,000. Each property here is distinct, so price tracks closely to lot, water frontage, and finish level.
How is the market in Chaine Du Lac?+
It's a low-volume, seller-favorable market — only three homes sold in the past year and one is currently active. Median days on market sits at just 1, and sellers averaged 94% of their asking price. With so few transactions, expect each listing to move on its own timeline rather than a broad trend, similar to nearby Keenes Pointe.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $633 per month, which is typical for a gated estate community with shared amenities and maintenance. Property taxes reflect the high values here, with a median around $56,672 per year. Budget both into your carrying costs when comparing homes.
