Along the water’s edge in Interlachen, this 9.21-acre holding spans two parcels (1017 and 1013) with 268 feet of frontage on two private lakes, Twin Lakes. The setting is defined by magnificent old oaks, palms, and cypress, creating a classic North Florida landscape with a distinctly quiet, country feel. Practicality is built in: the property includes two wells—one deep at about 200 feet and another at about 40 feet—supporting future plans with flexibility. The listing notes Interlachen’s relative distance from the hurricane devastation experienced in coastal regions, and adds that there’s no worry for storm surge and no flood insurance required. With generous acreage and private lakefront, the day-to-day rhythm here is shaped by open space, water, and shade.
