Property Description

RARE LAKEFRONT OPPORTUNITY – 500 FEET OF FRONTAGE ON LAKE SENECA! Experience the beauty, character, and timeless appeal of Old Florida at 35935 Nolen Lane in Eustis. Situated on approximately 4.8 acres with an extraordinary 500 feet of frontage on Lake Seneca, this remarkable property offers commanding elevated lake views, majestic live oak trees, privacy, and a peaceful natural setting that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in Central Florida. Positioned high above the shoreline, the property enjoys spectacular panoramic views of Lake Seneca. The expansive, accessible grounds are graced by towering live oaks, creating a picturesque landscape that captures the essence of Old Florida. Adding to its natural beauty is a spring that flows through the property and into the lake. Whether you envision a private lakefront retreat, a weekend getaway, or the opportunity to create your dream waterfront estate, the setting offers exceptional possibilities. The existing 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage offers approximately 1,500 square feet of living space and a fascinating connection to the property's past. Originally constructed in 1953 as a concrete block barn, the structure was expanded and converted into a residence in the early 1970s, retaining its solid concrete block construction. A distinctive reminder of its agricultural heritage remains in the kitchen and dining area, where portions of the original hayloft are still visible. Inside, a large wood-burning fireplace serves as a welcoming focal point of the living area, adding warmth and rustic charm. Stretching across the rear of the home, a spacious screened room overlooking Lake Seneca offers a wonderful place to relax, enjoy the gentle breezes, watch the changing light across the water, and take in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. These inviting spaces complement the cottage's character and connection to its Old Florida roots. Beyond the residence, the property offers several functional outbuildings, including a 13'4" x 24' workshop with electricity and window air conditioning, a 10' x 12' tool shed with electricity, and a 16' x 32' pole barn with a concrete slab and electricity. An existing dock extends into Lake Seneca, while deeded access from County Road 44A provides an additional desirable feature. Yet what truly distinguishes this property is the land itself. Approximately 4.8 acres of accessible waterfront property, 500 feet of lake frontage, remarkable elevation, sweeping water views, and magnificent mature live oaks come together to create an extraordinary setting. The combination of substantial shoreline, elevated terrain, natural beauty, and privacy is increasingly rare, particularly in a location that still retains the unspoiled character of Old Florida. This is more than a lakefront home. It's an opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Old Florida, where the land, the water, and the history tell a story all their own. Photographs can capture the views, but they cannot fully convey the feeling of standing beneath the towering oaks, looking out across Lake Seneca, and experiencing the peacefulness of this special property. Some properties simply must be experienced in person. Schedule your private showing today and discover the beauty and possibilities of 35935 Nolen Lane.
