Bay Hill, Florida is renowned for Arnold Palmer’s 270-acre Bay Hill Country Club and Golf Course.  Host to PGA tournaments for decades, the community of Bay Hill offers impressive waterfront and golf-course real estate.  Homes and condominiums in Bay Hill have deeded access to the gorgeous Butler Chain of Lakes winding through some of the area's most exclusive neighborhoods.

Only 11 miles southwest of downtown Orlando real estate, Bay Hill properties straddle Apopka-Vineland Road in southwest Orange County, north of Disney’s Lake Buena Vista and south of Windermere real estate.  Homes for sale in Dr. Phillips, Celebration, and Keene’s Pointe add a variety of styles and prices to the options near the Bay Hill Country Club, but over 5,000 people live right in town.  Investment properties near Bay Hill may be your ticket and we can help with property management in southwest Orlando.

Arnold Palmer is the town “father.”  Though he is from Pennsylvania, as a new professional golfer he practiced in south Florida during the cold winters.  The Orlando Chamber of Commerce invited him to an exhibition here in 1965.  He fell in love with the rural farming area and the course’s potential, and inquired about purchasing it.  "The only thing out here was orange groves, snakes, a few birds, but a lot of wonderful freshwater," Palmer said. "It was quiet. It was about a 15- or 20-minute drive to downtown, which was great. It was a small town.”  A few years later, Walt Disney came to the area and the rest is history.

The Club and Lodge is charming, inviting and the best of the best.  Whether attending a meeting or corporate event, or belonging to the private golf club, you can enjoy private golf and dining, quaint accommodations in the 65-room lodge, a luxurious spa, salon and fitness center, a gorgeous pool and tennis courts.

Surrounded by the excitement of Disney and the entertainment industry, residents enjoy world-class amenities on a daily basis.  Theme parks and attractions, sparkling lakes, major malls or quaint antique boutiques, coastal beaches, exciting clubs, professional sports, concerts, ballets, dinner theater, and gourmet food are only 5 to 45 minutes away.

With a high median income level and homes averaging $450,000, this is a great location for business with easy access to the International Airport and Sanford Airport, one of the largest convention centers in the country, the San Lake Hospital, and the University of Central Florida.  Award-winning public schools and numerous private schools are a tribute to the area’s emphasis on education and success. 

So, come tour the options via boat, car, plane, bike, golf cart, or even on foot.  We are here to assist you to find the perfect place for your family in the sunny days ahead.
