What could be better than owning a spacious, brand new lakefront home in beautiful north-central Florida? Also owning the five-acre island at the middle of the lake, solely for your private enjoyment.

This one-of-a-kind property at privately-owned Island Lake, about 30 miles southeast of Gainesville, boasts a newly constructed lakefront single-family home sitting on nearly a half-acre, conveyed turnkey and fully furnished for your utmost convenience. The home’s first level features two bedrooms, a kitchen, a full bathroom, and a covered patio for relaxation. Upstairs are three bedrooms including the master bedroom and ensuite bath, another full bathroom, a kitchen, a laundry room, and a loft overlooking the four-bay RV garage—perfect for a game room. The garage is equipped with yet another half bathroom and laundry room on the ground floor, with tons of storage options for toys and recreational equipment.

Just across the lake is your own five-acre private island, partially cleared and equipped with a covered and screen-enclosed summer kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, two bathrooms, a fire pit, dock, electric, septic, and well. Ideal for summer barbecues and the envy of your mainland neighbors, this special island also offers endless development opportunities to create your ultimate Florida retreat.

Island Lake is sublimely located next to Ocala National Forest, the oldest national forest east of the Mississippi River and home to rare birds, alligators, manatees, and countless natural springs. It’s also within easy reach of the best that northern and central Florida have to offer, including theme parks in Orlando, beaches in Saint Augustine, and concerts in Jacksonville. And since the property’s ingeniously constructed lakefront home essentially features two separate units downstairs and upstairs, with kitchen and laundry room in each, it can easily be utilized either as a primary residence or a short-term rental/vacation home.
