About this home
~~Historical home with a $615k Assumable VA Loan at an even more historical 2.5 interest rate!~~ Motivated seller: This one-of-a-kind waterfront estate sits directly on Lake Beauclair in the heart of the famous Harris-Chain-of-Lakes, is priced well BELOW APPRAISAL value (Nov 2024 $1,770,000) and is minutes via boat, jet ski, bike, or car to downtown Mt Dora.
