Remarks:

This home is only on the market for a LIMITED time. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare in Lake County. Set on nearly 9 acres of cleared, usable land, this 2018-built block home offers the perfect blend of modern construction, equestrian functionality, and peaceful country living. From the moment you arrive, the property opens up to wide pastures, two farm-fenced paddocks, and unobstructed rural views that stretch toward Lake Cooley and Island Lake. Whether you're a horse enthusiast, hobby farmer, or simply someone who values privacy and space, this property was designed for a lifestyle many people search for but rarely find. The acreage is surrounded by hotwire fencing to help protect livestock, providing both functionality and peace of mind for animal owners. Inside, the home features 14-foot ceilings and an open-concept layout that creates an immediate sense of space and natural light. The split bedroom floor plan provides privacy, while the oversized primary suite offers a true retreat with a massive walk-in closet and seamless walk-in shower. Built for both comfort and efficiency, the home includes exterior wall insulation that helps keep the home energy efficient, with electric bills typically under $180 even during the summer months, along with the added peace of mind of a brand new 2024 roof. The property is also served by a deep well providing clean, natural water, a valuable feature for rural living. Outside, the land is already prepared for animals and outdoor living. The property includes two fenced paddocks and a two-stall barn complete with a large tack room and washing station. Two covered carports provide plenty of room for trailers, equipment, or recreational vehicles. Relax on the screened porch overlooking nothing but open pasture and peaceful water views, where the pace of life slows down and the surroundings speak for themselves. Adding even more flexibility, the property allows for an additional dwelling unit, making it ideal for creating a family compound, guest home, or private in-law suite while still maintaining the space and privacy the land provides. Despite the quiet country setting, the property remains conveniently located approximately 20 minutes from Mount Dora, about an hour from Orlando, and roughly an hour from Ocala, providing easy access to dining, shopping, entertainment, and world-class equestrian venues.
