From the moment you turn onto the quiet cul-de-sac of Cypress Court and the canopy of ancient cypress trees parts to reveal shimmering lake views, you can feel that this isn’t just a home—it’s the beginning of a Florida story many dream about but few actually get to live. Now priced $100,000 lower than before, this waterfront retreat on the Harris Chain of Lakes invites the next owner to shape its future, bringing new life to a place that has been loved for decades. The home still reflects the style of the era it was built in, waiting for your updates and imagination, but the setting… the setting is nothing short of extraordinary. With 100 feet of reinforced shoreline, your own private boat ramp, a covered dock with electric hoist, and a screened heated pool perched right above the water, every sunrise feels like a front-row seat to the best of lakefront living. A new roof (2024), hurricane windows, new HVAC, new septic, tile floors, spacious bedrooms, updated bathrooms, and lush mature landscaping mean the fundamentals are solid—giving you a canvas to create the lake home you’ve always envisioned. Step onto your dock at dawn and you can glide directly into the legendary Dora Canal, where ancient trees lean overhead and wildlife stirs along the shoreline; the very waterway where scenes from The Africa n Queen were filmed. From here, adventure awaits in every direction. Drift into Tavares, America’s Seaplane City, where the buzz of engines overhead mixes with live music from waterfront bars and restaurants that come alive at sunset. Cruise farther to Mount Dora, a town that feels like it was lifted from a postcard—especially now, during Christmas, when millions of twinkling lights transform every street, every rooftop, every tree into a glowing holiday village. Stroll past boutique shops, sip hot cocoa while the town square sparkles, enjoy dinner at The Goblin Market or Pisces Rising, or wander the historic halls of the Lakeside Inn, where stories of Al Capone and whispered hauntings add a hint of mystery to the charm. And just beyond lies Eustis, a laid-back lakeside town with its own waterfront restaurants, hometown festivals, walkable shops, and a welcoming community spirit that makes even a quick stop feel like a visit with old friends. For those who love a touch of country life with their waterfront lifestyle, Amber Brooke Farms offers sunflower fields, seasonal festivals, holiday events, U-pick experiences, handmade treats, and that nostalgic family-farm feeling that’s getting harder to find. And when blueberry season arrives, Kings Grove becomes a local favorite—rows of fresh berries, warm sunshine, and the simple joy of picking your own produce just minutes away. Life on the Harris Chain is a rhythm—slow mornings on the water, afternoons exploring charming towns, evenings spent watching the lake turn to glass as the sky fades pink and gold. And this home, now attractively positioned for offers, is ready for someone to continue its story. Whether you’re seeking a weekend escape, a full-time lakeside lifestyle, or a renovation opportunity with unlimited upside, this property offers not just a home, but a life deeply connected to nature, history, community, and the magic of Central Florida’s most beloved waterfront towns. Private showings available by appointment.
