Experience and Local Knowledge in Windermere Projects
Windermere is not a one-size-fits-all market, and your pool builder shouldn’t treat it that way. Our team has extensive experience designing and building pools throughout Windermere’s most sought-after communities, including:
- Isleworth
- Keene’s Pointe
- Lake Butler Sound
- Reserve at Lake Butler Sound
- Chaine Du Lac
Each of these neighborhoods presents unique challenges and opportunities. For example:
Lakefront Properties on the Butler Chain of Lakes
Homes along Lake Butler and the surrounding chain often require:
- Advanced drainage planning
- Structural reinforcement for shoreline proximity
- Designs that maximize panoramic water views
Golf Course and Estate Communities
In communities like Keene’s Pointe, designs must:
- Complement Mediterranean and transitional architecture
- Maintain sightlines to golf courses and water features
- Adhere to strict HOA guidelines
Custom Estate Homes
Windermere estates often demand:
- Large-scale pool layouts
- Integrated spas and water features
- Outdoor living areas designed for entertaining
Our experience across these property types allows us to anticipate challenges early and deliver flawless execution, something that only comes from decades of local expertise.
Isleworth: Building on the Butler Chain
In the heart of Windermere, surrounded by the sparkling lakes of the Butler Chain, Isleworth Golf & Country Club stands as one of America’s most prestigious residential communities. Known for its championship golf course, architectural masterpieces, and manicured landscapes, Isleworth represents the pinnacle of Central Florida luxury living.
At Southern Pool Designs, we understand that homes in Isleworth aren’t just built — they’re crafted. Every detail is intentional, every finish precise, and every outdoor space is an extension of that same commitment to excellence.
That’s why Isleworth homeowners, builders, and architects trust us to design and construct pools that meet the same standard as the community itself.
A Community Built on Excellence in Isleworth
Isleworth is more than a neighborhood — it’s an ecosystem of artistry, privacy, and performance. With sprawling lakefront estates, world-class amenities, and elite architecture, it sets the tone for what luxury living in Florida truly means.
Each property here presents its own unique design challenge — elevation changes, lakefront setbacks, and high architectural standards. Our process begins by integrating structural engineering and aesthetic design so that every pool feels as though it was always part of the home’s original blueprint.
From vanishing edges that spill into Lake Butler to marble-tiled spas overlooking the fairway, our work is built to complement the elegance of Isleworth’s environment — not compete with it.
Designing Pools That Reflect the Isleworth Lifestyle
Pools in Isleworth are as much about presence as they are about performance. They’re gathering places, architectural statements, and personal sanctuaries — all at once.
We specialize in:
- Vanishing-edge and knife-edge pools that merge seamlessly with lake views
- Perimeter-overflow spas (champagne spas) for resort-style luxury
- Natural stone and glass-tile finishes that pair beautifully with Mediterranean and modern architecture
- Hidden automation systems for effortless control and minimal visual clutter
- Outdoor integration with summer kitchens, fire features, and water walls
- Lighting design for balanced ambience and after-dark drama
Every pool is engineered to perform for decades — built with shotcrete and steel specifications that exceed code, hydraulics tuned for efficiency and silence, and materials chosen for longevity in Florida’s climate.
When Every Detail Matters
Homeowners in Isleworth expect nothing less than perfection — and that’s exactly how we build.
From the first design consultation to the final water balance, every project is managed in-house by our engineering and project management team.
Our process is clear, our communication constant, and our craftsmanship consistent — so you always know your investment is being protected.
If you’re ready to create a pool worthy of your Isleworth address, we’d love to help you design something that feels both timeless and unforgettable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Southern Pool Designs build custom pools in Windermere?
Yes. We design and build custom gunite pools throughout Windermere and the surrounding Orange County area. We have built custom luxury pools across Central Florida since 1997, handling design, engineering, and permitting in house.
How much does a custom pool cost in Windermere?
Custom pool cost in Windermere depends on scope more than size. Structure, finish, water and fire features, decking, and site conditions all drive the number. A true custom pool with engineered features sits well above a stock builder's base price.
Do you handle pool permitting in Orange County?
Yes. We handle design, engineering, and permitting in house, including plan review for Orange County. Managing permitting under one roof avoids the delays that come when separate subcontractors coordinate approvals, which is often what slows a build.
