About this home
A lakefront address. A custom vision. Room to make it your own. Set on Deer Island along the shores of Lake Dora, this 1.08-acre vacant homesite has approximately 76 feet of direct lake frontage and morning views of the sunrise over Lake Dora. Bring your own builder and plans, with no time limit to build, and design a home around the way you want to live. The Harris Chain of Lakes connects eight lakes and 75,000 acres of navigable water, and this homesite puts all of it within reach. Cast for trophy largemouth bass on waters that host major national fishing tournaments. Carve across the wake on a ski run. Cruise into historic Mount Dora, approximately 5 minutes by boat, for dinner, shopping, or one of its seasonal festivals. Or head to Tavares, roughly 10 minutes away and known as "America's Seaplane City," for waterfront dining unlike anywhere else. Build your private dock and every one of those moments begins at your own shoreline. Deer Island is not a typical subdivision. This 400-acre natural island is surrounded by Lake Dora and Lake Beauclair. At its heart, Deer Island Country Club sets the tone for life here: an award-winning 18-hole championship course ranked #5 in Florida and among America's Top 50 Public Courses. Membership is available but never required. The Club's restaurant and bar are a golf cart ride away, the right finish to an afternoon on the water or the fairway. Orlando's attractions are approximately 45 minutes away by car, and both the Atlantic and Gulf Coast beaches are about 90 minutes away. Here, the appeal extends beyond the homesite itself. It is the opportunity to shape a home around your interests, make the lake part of your everyday surroundings, and become part of one of Lake County's distinctive island communities. Bring your vision and discover the possibilities.
