Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked at the very end of a quiet road, this private 5-acre retreat in Astatula offers a level of seclusion that is nearly impossible to find in Central Florida. Bordered on the north and east by St. Johns River Water Management District land, the property is surrounded by thousands of acres of protected land—meaning no future development and no immediate neighbors. The existing 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is full of potential—ideal for someone looking to renovate, expand, or create a custom homestead. Whether you're envisioning a primary residence, weekend escape, or investment project, the setting is the real asset here. A standout feature is the 50x50 metal building with electricity, perfect for storing equipment, running a business, workshop use, or housing recreational vehicles. The open acreage provides room for animals, additional structures, or simply enjoying wide-open space and privacy. Located just northwest of Lake Apopka, you still have convenient access to Mount Dora, Clermont, and the 429 for commuting, while maintaining complete separation from the noise and density of city life. If you're searching for true privacy, usable land, and long-term upside, this is a rare opportunity.
