Overview

NEW ROOF DONE MAY 7, 2024. This is one of the most unique, stunning properties in Lake County. Rarely does a property like this come on the market. The property is surrounded by beautiful cypress trees, water oak, and palm trees. It is a peninsula, surrounded on three sides by water and unobstructed panoramic water views. There is a lit gate entrance that can be closed for complete privacy. This is a 3 bedroom, two- and one-half bathroom home. There is over 900'of water frontage on Lake Harris on the Chain of Lakes with parking for a seaplane in a cove, with the Dead River on the north side and a canal in the back. There are two boat houses on the Lake Harris Waterfront side, that have two boat lifts with water supply and electricity. The property is large enough to keep all your toys and boat trailer on the property. Sit out on the front porch and see all the bass boating tournaments and local events. In the evenings, just sit out and enjoy the sunsets. The pool by the porch to cool off in those hot summer days. Also, it is heated by solar panels for those early spring days and late fall times. The home has plenty of light to make your days enjoyable. The kitchen has a large center granite island, a gas stove top, prep sink and a wood burning stove. There is a lanai off the kitchen where you can enjoy dinner while watching the boats going down the river. The kitchen is open to the Family room with custom stained-glass windows, gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings with wood beams and French doors that open to a screened porch. The primary bedroom and second bedroom both have en suites. The garage has room for your cars, RV or a smaller boat inside with an upstairs loft with a view of Lake Harris. Out behind the garage is additional storage. The A/C is two years old, the pool pump is one year old and the washer and dryer are two years old. If you love boating, this is the place to be. NEW ROOF installed by Eustis Roofing. Done May 7th, 2024.Also, there is 30 AMP service for an RV.
