24-hour guard-gated living on the Butler Chain of Lakes, centered on the Golden Bear Club's Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course.
Request a Private Consultation Search Keene's Pointe ListingsKeene's Pointe is a master-planned, 24-hour guard-gated community of roughly 1,050 to 1,100 custom homes across 14 distinctive villages in Windermere, developed by Castle & Cooke beginning in 1999. The Golden Bear Club's Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course anchors the community, and a subset of homes carry direct frontage on the Butler Chain of Lakes via Lake Tibet — among the most sought-after lots in Central Florida. The community carries no CDD fees, a genuine cost advantage over much of newer west Orange County.
A Keene's Pointe listing on the Butler Chain isn't competing with the rest of Windermere — it's competing with Isleworth and the handful of other true chain-access addresses in Central Florida. That's a narrow, specific buyer pool, and it needs to be marketed to directly, not found by accident.

HOA dues run approximately $2,900 per year, and there is no CDD fee — a real cost advantage over many newer master-planned communities in west Orange County. Confirm current dues directly with the association before making an offer, since figures change.
Homes generally run from roughly $1.3M for interior lots up to $7.5M or more for Butler Chain lakefront estates, with golf and interior-lake frontage typically in between. Exact positioning depends heavily on lot type and water access.
No. Membership is optional and separate from home ownership, with initiation and dues set by the club directly rather than published — we can help you get current pricing from the membership office.
Every price tier in Keene's Pointe sits above Florida's 2026 conforming loan limit of $832,750, so jumbo financing is standard. Ray is also a licensed mortgage originator, so this is part of the same conversation as the offer, not a separate referral.
Both are 24-hour guard-gated Windermere communities on the Butler Chain of Lakes, but Isleworth is the smaller, more exclusive, invitation-style tier with pricing well into eight figures, while Keene's Pointe offers genuine Butler Chain access at a more attainable — though still significant — price point.
