Discover a rare chance to live an authentic lifestyle: 5.4 acres of private lakefront land on beautiful Lake Colby, where your days can include fishing at sunrise, watching wildlife, tending to your horses, or building the homestead you have always imagined. This is not just a property. It is a complete lifestyle shift if you have been searching for space, freedom, nature, and possibility. Welcome home. Tucked away at the end of a quiet road, this property offers unmatched privacy and a peacefulness hard to find. Whether you dream of raising animals, expanding your family compound, starting a hobby farm, or creating a waterfront retreat, this land provides the setting to make those dreams a reality. Bring your horses. The property includes stables and plenty of open land for grazing. Bring your chickens, goats, dogs, or livestock. There is room here for a whole homestead lifestyle. With private lake frontage on Lake Colby, you can fish, kayak, paddle, or take your small boat out from your own backyard. Spend evenings by the lake watching the sky turn gold and mornings greeted by deer, cranes, and natural wildlife that roam the property. A large metal workshop-style structure gives you endless options. Use it as a garage, a storage space for vehicles and boats, a mechanic shop, a woodworking barn, an equipment shelter, or an ideal space for hobbies and projects. The land allows you to build additional structures, expand the existing home, or design a larger custom residence. You also have the option to subdivide the acreage if desired. The existing home provides a warm, comfortable place to live while you create your long-term vision. Enjoy evenings by the wood-burning fireplace after a day outdoors. The large front porch overlooking the water is perfect for morning coffee, family gatherings, or relaxing at sunset. Need space for guests or an RV? The property includes a 30-amp RV hookup with a septic connection. Ideal for visitors, extended stays, or personal travel. Although the property feels private and secluded, it is still close to everything you need. Major highways, restaurants, shopping, and schools are all within a short drive. This location offers peaceful country living without sacrificing convenience. This is not the typical Lake Helen or Deltona home. This is for the buyer who wants land, water, freedom, nature, and the ability to build a life with space and purpose. If you have been searching for a property that lets you live differently and more freely, this 5.4-acre lakefront retreat is your opportunity. Experience the land, the lake, the wildlife, and the lifestyle that make this a one-of-a-kind property.
