You can also rent the clubhouse out for your private party on Little Lake Harris and watch the sun set with your guests. The community also owns their own Water Treatment Plant so the potable water supplied to this home is natural spring water. The yearly HOA dues of $500 includes everything that I have mentioned, i.e. all your water usage, street lights, use of the community clubhouse, beach, boat, ramp etc.
And on top of it, the neighbors are wonderful! It is a great neighborhood for all ages with a fair amount of retirees and snowbirds, singles and families with children of all ages.
The home is located a short distance from "The Golden Triangle" of Lake County, an area between the cities of Tavares, Mount Dora and Eustis. A nature preserve is to the north of the home and numerous birds and wildlife are seen daily in and around the property including bald eagles, a family of hawks, hummingbirds, cardinals, and alligators and turtles in the water. You will find plenty of fish year-round in the multitude of lakes, rivers and canal-ways including Largemouth Bass, Blue Bream, Stripers, Crappies, Speckled Perch and Catfish. Sit, relax and enjoy nature or fish from the large wooden deck that overlooks the water.
An easy commute anywhere in Florida, the house is a short 30 minute drive to the outskirts of Orlando, 45 minutes to Disney World and other major theme parks and approximately 60 minutes to either the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf, to Port Canaveral and the cruise ships, deep sea fishing, or to the Kennedy Space Center. If you want to see “Old Florida” and soak in our stunning natural landscape, visit Weekie Wachee and the underwater mermaids, arrange for a dive with the manatees or a trip on a glass-bottom boat at Crystal River or golf one of the Zagat-rated “America’s Top Courses” at the Mission Inn Resort and Club.
Three years ago this home was appraised at $385,000. Market values in Florida have dropped since then. This house is a steal at $329,000. It is priced to sell! Call Victoria at 800.230.7087 if I can answer any specific questions.
The Golden Triangle
Tavares, which is located on the north shore of Lake Dora, is the county seat of Lake County. With the Wooton Park Seaplane and Marina Basin, a multimodal transportation system, Tavares is fully connected to other cities, railways, public transit, water taxis, downtown business and other areas of interest. Imagine flying in on your seaplane and having dinner in historic downtown and then catching the train to Orlando or how about taking a relaxing water taxi ride across Lake Dora to Mount Dora?
Many events such as the Bass Pro Shops Crappie Masters Tournament, Dragon Boat Festival, Renaissance Faire, Classic Race Boats Performance, Art in the Square, Downtown Fall Festival, Fourth of July Celebration, Light Up Tavares and much more ensure that there is always something to do. Eighteen beautiful golf courses are located near Tavares and the 130 miles of Blueways, the largest collection of waterway trails for canoeists and kayakers in the state, similar to hiking trails provide for many opportunities to explore natural Florida through active and passive activities. These include birdwatching, kayaking, fishing, swimming, boating, wildlife photography or simply enjoying a great sunrise or sunset.
Tucked away in a peaceful part of Central Florida, Mount Dora is a slice of small-town America made for vacationers who long for the pleasures of a simpler time. Imagine yourself meandering along cobblestone alleyways along shaded streets, immaculately maintained bowling courts, Victorian architecture, and green parks. Mount Dora retains that old-world atmosphere and “southern” charm with its myriad of eclectic boutiques and specialty shops. Nestled amongst the gentle hills and orange groves, its nostalgic ambiance is enhanced by horse-drawn carriage rides, lakeside picnics in Gilbert Park, strolling along the mile-long boardwalk to Palm Island, and beautiful sunset walks.
Famous as a Festival City, Mount Dora hosts a well-known spring art festival and a fall craft festival, a fall bicycle ride, an antique boat show, the Sailboat Regatta, and the city finishes up in the holiday season with the “Lighting of Mount Dora” a wonderland created by a million twinkling lights. If you love antiques, Renninger’s Antique Market covers 117 acres and attracts more than 400 dealers each month with its Antique Fairs. Their three annual Antiques Extravaganza Shows attract more than 1,400 vendors and are listed as one of the top five “must see” antique events in the United States.
Located in the hub of the Golden Triangle, Eustis is a traditional country town with an old style downtown area with small shops, local restaurants and 30 miles of Lake Eustis shoreline. Lake Eustis is one of the 1,400 lakes in Lake County which provide breathtaking natural beauty and a variety of activities from boating and fishing to water-skiing and diving. The Eustis Lake Walk is a modern concrete boardwalk with beautiful iron gates and railings where you can walk the lakefront and may even see someone catch a fish or two. With the demolition of the old Florida Hospital building in 2004, an expansion is underway to add more shops to the already successful downtown shopping area.
Eustis is also the gateway to the Ocala National Forest. This area encompasses 26 state recreation areas and is noted for its numerous crystal clear natural springs that maintain a year-round temperature of 72 degrees. Canoe runs enable you to explore the area’s wildlife and waterways, as well as horseback riding and well-maintained campgrounds. In addition, there are plenty of nature trails for hiking along with the Florida Trail, which supplies the southern most access point to the Appalachian Trail.
All in all, this unique part of Central Florida is rich in history. Early residents were attracted to the area because of its high elevation, beautiful lakes, majestic oak groves, Spanish moss and abundance of wildlife. A slice out of "Old Florida" where everyone knows your name and big city problems seem far away.
