Montverde

A serene lakeside town best known for Montverde Academy and luxury estates overlooking Lake Apopka.

Welcome to Montverde 

Montverde feels like another world — peaceful, pastoral, and perched high above Lake Apopka’s western shore. With its rolling hills and sweeping views, this small town delivers a rare sense of space and serenity in Central Florida. Though only minutes from the bustle of Winter Garden and Clermont, Montverde moves at its own quiet rhythm, defined by tree-lined roads, private estates, and sunsets that stretch for miles. It’s a place for those who value privacy, natural beauty, and a more deliberate pace of life.

Montverde History & Culture 

Founded in the late 1800s as an agricultural community, Montverde has stayed true to its rural heritage while evolving into a haven for elegant lakefront living. The town’s signature landmark, Montverde Academy, draws families from around the world and adds an international, yet close-knit, energy to the area. 
 
Around town, horse farms, custom homes, and lakeside estates coexist seamlessly, each tucked among the region’s rare rolling terrain. Residents embrace outdoor living — boating, horseback riding, and evenings spent on screened lanais overlooking the hills. The community’s slower pace and scenic beauty have made it one of Central Florida’s most coveted hidden gems. 
 

Montverde Dining & Lifestyle 

Though Montverde itself is quiet, its proximity to nearby hubs makes dining and entertainment easily accessible. Downtown Winter Garden’s Plant Street restaurants and boutiques are just 15 minutes away, while the resort-style amenities of Bella Collina — including a championship golf course, spa, and fine dining — are right at home in Montverde’s backyard. Here, weekends feel like retreats, and neighbors often gather for lakefront cookouts or a round of golf at sunset.
