About this home
29901 OSPREY COURT
Pre-Construction. To be built. Rendering courtesy of Kevco Builders. Custom floor plans and modifications welcome. Final pricing subject to plan and square footage. Opportunities of this magnitude are not simply found, they are reserved. Offering the ultimate combination of lakefront, golf course, and island living all in one place, this is one of the last remaining buildable lakefront homesites on the legendary Harris Chain of Lakes. This commanding 2+ acre property offers approximately 164 feet of direct frontage on pristine Lake Dora and an unobstructed canvas to design your ultimate private estate — with no time restrictions to build and no limitation on vision. The inspired rendering by Kevco Builders is merely a starting point; bring your own floor plan or build something entirely bespoke. Nestled on Deer Island, a secluded 400-acre natural island embraced by Lake Dora and Lake Beauclair, the setting is as rare as the opportunity itself. Step off your private dock for an approximate 5-minute boat ride to the charming boutiques, acclaimed dining, and year-round festivals of historic Mount Dora, or cruise roughly 10 minutes to the vibrant waterfront scene of Tavares, America's Seaplane City. Orlando's world-class attractions are about 45 minutes away, and both the Atlantic and Gulf Coast beaches are within approximately 90 minutes; tranquil island living without sacrificing a thing. The community is anchored by Deer Island Country Club, home to an award-winning 18-hole championship golf course ranked #5 in Florida and among America's Top 50 Public Golf Courses with membership available but never required. The club also features 19th Wave, a restaurant and bar, all within a short golf cart ride from your front door. Lakefront lots on the Harris Chain simply are not replenished. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the buyer who refuses to settle for anything less than extraordinary. * The photos of the house are of a previously built home. Some features and finishes are optional and can be discussed with the builder. *

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.
