Luxury Real Estate in the Keystone Area, Hillsborough County, Florida

The Keystone Area encompasses an unincorporated section of northwest Hillsborough County accessed primarily from Gunn Highway and the I-275 corridor. Lake Keystone is the area’s largest and most prestigious lake — a 500-acre freshwater lake in a rural-residential setting with estate lots of one to five or more acres on its perimeter. Lake Dosson and several smaller lakes add additional waterfront options throughout the corridor.

Lake Keystone’s Estate Character

Lake Keystone is one of the largest and cleanest freshwater lakes in the Tampa Bay region, supporting excellent bass fishing, wakeboarding, and paddleboard conditions throughout the year. The lake’s size provides the wide-open water views that buyers who have experienced Florida’s more congested urban waterways specifically seek. Estate lots on Lake Keystone’s perimeter are large enough to support full outdoor entertaining environments, guest houses, and in many cases, private boat houses with covered storage for multiple watercraft.
