Description

Pristine, beautiful Island on Lake Griffin. Accessible only by water, a public boat ramp allows you to access the property by watercraft in five minutes! This is the ONLY island on beautiful Lake Griffin. Just a few minutes from the famous THE VILLAGES, this property has huge potential (with re-zoning) for a water oriented 2nd or primary home, multiple unit get aways, a camp for your organization, or just a peaceful, unspoiled island retreat! Owner lives on the island with a stilted cabin with boat dock, & it has been nicely updated & is move-in ready, but this is being sold for its 'island value' as vacant land & no value is given to the cabin even though it's worth probably over $500K as-is. There simply aren't many properties like this available in Florida. Enjoy a wide variety of wildlife, including osprey, bald eagles, blue herons, anhinga, ibis, & river otters. If you've been looking for an isolated living environment or an island with many development possibilities, this is it!

Supplements: Lake Griffin is the 8th largest lake in Florida and is approximately seven miles long. Lake Griffin is the only Harris Chain fishery with controllable water levels because of a lock on Haines Creek with two access points that opened into the Esmeralda Marsh. It's the least developed lake along the Harris chain of lakes that have boater friendly fun. These chain of Lakes have many points of access, restaurants, parks for play and splashing, sea plane adventures and beautiful nature. These chain of lakes include: Lake Harris, Eustis, Dora, Beauclaire and Lake Griffin. Lake Griffin boasts wonderful fishing. There are two locks which control the water levels of the lake. A public boat ramp is accessible on 441 at the south end of the lake at Herlong Park.
