8023 Buena Vista Dr: Experience True Florida Living in This Upgraded Waterfront Home with Two Lanais

This charming 1986 two-bedroom, two-bath manufactured home offers 1,232 square feet of interior living space, plus an additional 160 square feet under air in the enclosed lanai. Altogether, you have nearly 1,400 square feet of comfortable space to enjoy. Located in Colony Cove, a popular 55+ land-leased, resort-style community in Ellenton, Florida, this home sits right on the water and provides the relaxing atmosphere so many people come to Florida to find.

As you approach the back of the home, you’ll notice it offers multiple outdoor living areas designed to take advantage of the beautiful lake setting. The enclosed air-conditioned lanai measures 10 feet by 16 feet and adds valuable living space with peaceful views of Long Lake. It’s an ideal spot for reading, morning coffee, or simply enjoying the scenery in climate-controlled comfort. Just beyond that is the screened lanai, which is 10 feet by 23 feet. This large space includes a hot tub and captures natural breezes from the lake, making it a wonderful place to unwind at the end of the day. Outside the screened lanai, an additional concrete patio overlooks the water and is perfect for grilling, entertaining, or relaxing with friends.

Inside, the home features an inviting living room with tall vaulted ceilings that make the entire space feel open and airy. Large windows bring in plenty of natural light and allow you to enjoy the lake view from inside. The living room flows into the dining area, which connects seamlessly to the updated kitchen. The kitchen has upgraded wooden cabinetry with soft-closing doors and drawers, slide-out shelving, deep drawers for pots and pans, a decorative glass tile backsplash, and attractive countertops. There is plenty of storage and workspace, making this a very functional and comfortable kitchen to spend time in. A new microwave was installed in January of 2024.

Both bedrooms are well sized. The guest bedroom offers good closet space and works well for visitors or as a hobby or office room. The master suite is spacious and includes generous storage plus a private bathroom. In 2023, new vanity tops were installed in the bathrooms, giving them a clean and refreshed appearance. The home also has PVC plumbing, a vapor barrier, and thermal windows. It passed a four-point inspection in June 2023, offering solid peace of mind. In 2025, the thermostat and exterior wiring were replaced. The roof was spray-sealed and resurfaced in February 2024 and comes with a twenty-year warranty. New landscaping was added in 2024 to complete the exterior appeal.
