About this home
5.4 ACRES | LAKE COLBY FRONTAGE | HORSE STABLES | LARGE WORKSHOP | RV HOOKUP A rare opportunity to own 5.4 private acres with direct Lake Colby frontage in Lake Helen. This unique 2-bedroom, 2-bath property combines waterfront living, equestrian features, workshop space, privacy, and room to enjoy the outdoors in a single remarkable setting. Tucked away at the end of a quiet road, the setting feels peaceful and secluded from the moment you arrive. Bring the horses and take advantage of the existing stables and open land for grazing. A large metal workshop-style building offers ample space for vehicles, equipment, boats, storage, hobbies, and projects. The real centerpiece is Lake Colby. Step outside to fish, kayak, paddle, or simply relax along your own lakefront. Enjoy morning coffee from the front porch overlooking the water, watch wildlife move through the property, and unwind in a setting that is increasingly difficult to find in Central Florida. Inside, the home offers a warm and comfortable retreat with inviting living spaces and a free-standing wood-burning fireplace that adds warmth and character to the home's relaxed country setting. A 30-amp RV hookup with septic connection adds even more flexibility for recreational vehicles or guests. With 5.4 acres, the property also offers room for additional outdoor uses and future possibilities, subject to applicable zoning and permitting. Despite its secluded setting, the property remains convenient to downtown Lake Helen, DeLand, I-4, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. For buyers searching for acreage, lakefront living, equestrian features, workshop space, privacy, and room to create something truly their own, 1210 Gem Lane offers a combination that is difficult to duplicate. Schedule your private showing and experience the land, the lake, and the possibilities for yourself.
