About this home
Off-the-Grid Mountain Lake Retreat – 16.60 Acres, Two Cabins & Private Spring-Fed Frontage – $550,000 One-of-a-kind lakefront holding in the rolling hills of eastern Hernando County: 16.60 total acres on spring-fed Mountain Lake, including plenty of high-and-dry upland acres shaded by mature oaks — per survey, the parcel includes a substantial portion of the lake itself. Spring-fed lakes are a true rarity in Hernando County, and private frontage like this almost never comes to market. Survey on file; see attachments for boundaries and upland acreage. The property is ready to enjoy from day one. A freshly laid gravel drive carries you through the gate to two off-the-grid cabins set among the oaks, powered by a 10K-watt gas/propane generator with electricity throughout. The main cabin is outfitted for real weekends on the water: running water with on-demand hot water, shower, refrigerator, ceiling fans, and a wooden countertop bar with stools. The second cabin offers a ceiling fan, outlets, and a small sink fed by a rain-barrel collection system — water is supplied by collected rain and lake water pumped to storage. Fully self-contained, completely private. Portable sanitation on site; no septic currently installed. Spend mornings casting from your private shoreline — with room to add a dock built to your own specifications — afternoons on the kayak, and evenings around the fire under the oaks. Fully fenced and gated at the quiet end of Deepwell Drive off Spring Lake Highway: minutes to SR-50 and historic downtown Brooksville, quick access to I-75, roughly an hour to Tampa. Weekend retreat, family compound, or the setting for your custom home — the flexibility is the point. Buyer to verify utilities, zoning, and permitting with Hernando County. Spring-fed lakefront, standing improvements, new drive, and 16.60 acres of old Florida. Once-a-decade doesn't overstate it. Schedule your private walk today.
