Inside Keene's Pointe

The subdivision comprises approximately 1,067 homesites across 14 distinct architectural neighborhoods, ranging from Mediterranean estates to European-influenced designs. Its defining feature is the Golden Bear Club, a championship 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course that spans the entire community, offering members challenging play alongside picturesque fairways and greens.
The community’s location along the Butler Chain of Lakes-particularly Lake Tibet and Lake Burden-provides extensive waterfront and lakefront properties, with many homes offering golf course views and direct lake access. Amenities include a private country club with fine dining, four lighted tennis courts, an Olympic-size aquatic center, fitness facilities, and nature preserves totaling over 100 acres of freshwater fishing lakes. HOA fees vary by village, ranging from minimal amounts to approximately $3,028 monthly, with some neighborhoods charging additional sub-association fees for specialized amenities. Notably, the community does not carry Community Development District (CDD) fees, a significant advantage over many newer luxury developments.

Recent market activity shows 52 homes sold within a year with an average selling price near $1.9 million. The community draws buyers, golf enthusiasts, and professionals seeking proximity to Central Florida attractions while maintaining gated security and luxury amenities on their doorstep.
The subdivision is zoned for Orange County Public Schools, which covers Pre-K through grade 5, grades 6 through 8, and grades 9 through 12. Many residents opt for nearby a private school, a private PreK-12 institution. The community’s established infrastructure, lack of CDD fees, and combination of golf course access, lake views, 24-hour security, and refined architecture position Keene’s Pointe as a distinctive luxury address in Windermere with more accessible pricing than ultra-premium nearby communities.
