Bellamere is a small gated enclave on Lake Kell in Lutz, Hillsborough County, ZIP 33549, reached by Bellamere Palms Court off the US 41 corridor (Stellar MLS listing records, 2026). Listing and community descriptions present it as a double-gated community of roughly four large homesites, each about five acres, a true acreage enclave rather than a dense subdivision.
The homesites sit on Lake Kell, described in listing copy as a spring-fed private ski lake of around fifty acres with no public access, used for boating, water skiing, fishing, and paddling (Stellar MLS listing remarks, 2026). Because the enclave is so small, some parcels have traded as vacant building lots while others carry large custom estate homes, with at least one Mediterranean style estate on the lake dating to the late 2000s; confirm the exact build year, size, and condition for any specific home.
Because this is a handful of acreage lots rather than a neighborhood, the money is made or lost on the parcel and the build, not on an address average. The drivers are the specific lot, the lake frontage and rights, the private well and septic posture, the HOA dues for the gate and shared road, and the cost to build or update a custom home, all of which have to be read per parcel and from the current association documents.
The pitch is privacy with a private lake close to Tampa. Lutz sits between Tampa and Land O Lakes, with the US 41 and Dale Mabry corridors, the Veterans Expressway, and Tampa employment a manageable drive, while the enclave itself feels tucked away. The work is the diligence: confirm the lot count and HOA, verify the lake rights and frontage, check the well, septic, and flood posture, and price the build or update before you buy the view.
