This 10+ acre property (2 separate adjacent/connected parcels) offers an “old Florida” natural setting with the ultimate in privacy, but is just 10 miles from the great restaurants and shops of Deland, a college town, with all the vibrant cultural events associated with Stetson University. The little Community of Pine Lakes is bordered to the southeast by the Seminole State Forest and to the northwest by the Ocala National Forest so future development in the area will be restricted. The Lower Wekiva State Park- Fechtel Tract with myriad trails, barns, and facilities for horses is just down the road and the nearby Blackwater Creek and the nationally designated “Wild and Scenic” Wekiva River offer miles and miles of opportunity for kayaking and canoeing. For Boating enthusiasts, several large full-service marinas and the “Ed Stone Park” offering well equipped multiple launching ramps and facilities on the St. Johns River is just 10 minutes away. The property features several “out-buildings” including a very large 36’ x 24’ workshop/garage and a 925 sq. ft. manufactured home. The main home itself is a “Victoria Model” built in 1993 by Mt. Dora Custom Home Builder, Charlie Johnson. The roof was replaced 6 years ago. Tile floors are featured throughout high traffic areas with warm wood laminate in the Dining and Living Rooms. A cozy stone wood-burning fireplace compliments the family room and a lovely screened rear porch offers a quiet retreat for the daily unwind. Raise some livestock, build a second home on the buildable adjacent lot, or sell it off as an entity in itself- this property offers loads of opportunities for all kinds of use by a creative new owner. With the new Orlando beltway about to be completed, Sanford International Airport is less than an hour away to the southeast and Disney World and the attractions an hour in the other direction. Come and enjoy the very best Florida has to offer!
