About this home
LOT H-19 ISLAND CLUB DRIVE
Pre-Construction. To be built. Some lots provide a view. This one provides a backdrop. Nestled within the exclusive gated community of Deer Island, this 0.33-acre interior homesite sits at the quiet edge of the golf course, where a serene natural pond creates a lush, private buffer between your future backyard and the fairway beyond. Just the kind of effortless seclusion that typically commands a premium, yet here, it simply comes with the land. Deer Island offers à la carte monthly boat dock rentals, giving you instant access to the legendary Harris Chain of Lakes from the moment you arrive; just the water at your fingertips. With no time restriction to build, your vision unfolds entirely on your terms and your timeline. The rendering from Kevco Builders shown is for inspiration only (Barcelona 2500 model). Buyers are welcome to build from a completely custom floor plan or make changes to suit their lifestyle (price is subject to change based on the floor plan and size of the home). The generous lot size gives an architect true creative latitude, with ample room for a pool, while the pond-side orientation invites outdoor living spaces designed to make the most of the scenery: a covered lanai, the scent of the evening breeze, and a view that quietly resets the day before the sun even sets. Deer Island is a rare 400-acre natural island cradled by Lake Dora and Lake Beauclair on the legendary Harris Chain of Lakes. At its heart sits the Deer Island Country Club, home to an award-winning 18-hole championship golf course recognized among America's Top 50 Public Courses and ranked #5 in the state of Florida.The club also features 19th Wave, a restaurant and bar, all within a short golf cart ride from your front door. Golf memberships are available, though never required; the choice, like everything here, is yours. Whether you're up for a morning ski run, an afternoon of fishing, a leisurely sunset cruise, or a quick boat ride into charming historic Mount Dora for dinner, the lake lifestyle here bends to your pace and is as adventurous or as still as you want it to be. Orlando's world-class attractions are roughly 45 minutes away. Both the Atlantic and Gulf Coast beaches are within about 90 minutes. And yet, once you're on this island, the outside world feels just far enough. This is the kind of lot that rewards you long before a single wall goes up. Come walk the property. Listen to the stillness. And picture what life looks like when home backs up to something truly beautiful. * The photos of the house are of a previously built home.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
