Enjoy the outdoors at this 5-acre homestead with canal frontage to access Lake Griffin on the Harris Chain of Lakes, or venture along the Ocklawaha River all the way to the St. John's River. Located near the Emeralda Marsh where multiple recreational opportunities can be enjoyed, scattered oaks and long leaf pines that shade most of the property, with a portion that is nicely cleared around the residence. Currently the property is zoned Agricultural and no HOA, so you can create a mini farm if desired. An oversized 24' x 24' detached garage has plenty of space for utility vehicles, and a screen door across the front for project days. Enjoy coffee on the screened front porch with dual access into the home. A large flagstone patio in the backyard is a great spot for grill, smoker, or firepit. If additional storage needs are on your checklist, you'll find a detached storage shed that has a concrete floor and could be renovated or converted into a pole barn. If you enjoy bass fishing and boating, the 9400 acre Lake Griffin is just a short ride from your backyard dock. The comfortable home is ready for new owners to re-envision or simply enjoy as a weekend get away. The residence is tucked away off the main road with a gated, paved driveway. Just 20 minutes to downtown Leesburg and 30 minutes to Mount Dora. A recent 4-point home inspection is available upon request.
