About this property
Canal front pool home to Dora Chain of Lakes
Central Florida home that is a great jumping off point for a multitude of land and water activities. This single story (no steps) pool home is located on a canal that leads to the Dora Chain of Lakes and Lake Apopka. The Dora Chain is known for great fishing, all watersports, and waterfront dining. There is a covered boat dock available for guests, and a public boat ramp is about a mile from the house. Across the canal is undeveloped land which makes for great bird watching from the property, as well as being located near two spots on the Florida Birding Trail. There are 2 public golf courses nearby for golf enthusiasts. The historic town of Mount Dora with fabulous restaurants and shopping is 15 minutes away. Explore beautiful natural springs 20-30 minutes away. For those who may be interested in theme parks, Disney World is 45 minutes away. The Lake Apopka wildlife drive/trail is just 10 minutes away. Long & Scott Farm is just 5 minutes away and is open seasonally for agritourism. Kayaks (3) and bicycles (2) are included with the rental. Bring your boat or rent one from a rental company on the Chain of Lakes!
