Pristine lake property for sale

6.4 secluded acres.  This property is like living on an island yet it's 15 minutes from Deland, Florida, a cute, small town with a Wal-Mart.  It is the best of both worlds: Total pristine privacy and the "commute" lane.

The property is a mile down a dirt road from a paved highway that ends at the Wakaiva preserve, a wild life sanctuary and famous horseman trail ride area with a corralled campground open to the public.  The preserve wraps around and borders our property with our land being at the end of a road.  This makes for quiet seclusion, black bear, fox, deer, raccoon, you name it-we have seen it- right in our driveway!  The only traffic you see is the few people who live here and that's it!.  I have no worries about my children playing in the woods on our property; swimming, kayaking, paddle boating, and climbing in the ancient oaks.We have another 7 plus acres that adjoin the property (the woods to left of this photo)that are available and reduced for a package price.  This would give you ownership of  the entire end of the lake.

The lake is spring fed and about 25 feet deep.  Cold waters bubble up and the lake is always clean. Trophy sized bass are in the lake as we always "catch and release"  Other fish too!.  The lake connects with its sister lake via a natural canal at the corner of our property to form a hug "hour glass".  It also creates a woody/watery natural barrier around our property that gives it its natural "Island" feel.

We are in Lake County.  This area is growing fast with subdivisions and there is not much of this kind of property left.  Perfect for the horse owner who wants to be close to town and schools or one who wants to retire in a peaceful setting near great hospitals, restaurants and shopping.  There is a paved road going in that will transform most of the dirt road that goes to our property.  I like the dirt road as it keeps the "sissies" out, but for many this is good news as it does make things less dusty and the land values will go up.

We are only selling our properties because we had to move nearer to St. Augustine and the Deaf school (we have a deaf son)

There is a fixer mobile and power on the property.  We use the mobile as a cabin.  There is no well (we pump out of the spring fed lake for showers and laundry and use a pipe to a neighbors well for drinking...but this is an excellent well area with sweet water)  We also have greenhouses on the property for our family business.

We are asking $185 K for this "high and dry" property.  $115K for the adjoining piece and for both...well make us your best offer as we need to sell because we are making payments on both of them and its tough.  If you want to look up the property on Mapquest here is the address  32203 Blackwater Oaks dr., Eustis, FLA 32736 or call me at 386-848-4443  ask for Steve

Thanks!
