Facts & features
Why you’ll love it
Some homes begin with a floor plan. Others begin with a view. On Deer Island, a custom lakefront home begins with the setting. This 1.26-acre vacant homesite has approximately 85 feet of direct frontage on Lake Dora, with room to design a home that reflects your style and priorities. Bring your own builder and take your time. There is no time limit to build. Lake Dora is one of eight lakes on the Harris Chain, a network of 75,000 navigable acres that turns an ordinary afternoon into a choice of routes. Anglers chase trophy largemouth bass on waters known for hosting major national tournaments. Skiers find open stretches for a clean run. A boat ride of approximately 5 minutes reaches historic Mount Dora, with its locally owned boutiques, year-round festivals, and dinner within walking distance of the docks. Roughly 10 minutes the other way, Tavares, “America’s Seaplane City,” pairs waterfront tables with floatplanes landing on the lake. Add a private dock and the trip starts from your own backyard. Deer Island is a 400-acre natural island surrounded by Lake Dora and Lake Beauclair. Deer Island Country Club anchors the community with an award-winning 18-hole championship course, ranked #5 in Florida and named among America’s Top 50 Public Courses. Golf membership is available and never required for ownership. When the round or the boat ride is done, the Club’s restaurant and bar are a short golf cart trip from home. Orlando’s attractions are approximately 45 minutes away by car, and both the Atlantic and Gulf Coast beaches are about 90 minutes away. Whether you plan a full-time residence or a place to enjoy the lake through the seasons, this is the chance to create something uniquely yours where waterfront living, golf, and island character meet. Explore the possibilities and picture what you could build here.
