Windermere Estates: the lake-district name on a lakeless plat

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

HARRIS TOWNSHIP · 38 PARCELS

Windermere Estates borrows England's largest lake for ground that has none — 38 parcels in the township's center (centroid −86.1387, 41.7361), beside Barrington Woods, its interior street its own name, Windermere Drive, in the listing record. Its lots are the larger standard of the center cluster, a median of 0.46 acre over some 18 acres, and its build-year samples in the listing record — houses dated 1995 and 1999 on Windermere Drive — place its building at the wave's height, a few years either side of its neighbor East Pointe's association-dated 1997. One legal string carries an assessor transaction date of November 2002; by the banked method that is a setup or replat mark, not a recording date, and it is printed only to show the paper still moving seven years after the first houses. Its present state is finished: all 38 parcels improved in the single-family code.

Named gap — Windermere Estates' proprietor and recording date: settler, the St. Joseph County Recorder's plat books (Harris Township books), GAP-NBH-5's settler named for this plat.

Sources: St. Joseph County parcel record, read November 2026 — count, acreages, class codes. Listing record (IRMLS via Redfin) — Windermere Drive and the 1995 and 1999 build-year samples only.
