15401 County Road 450 is a slice of natural paradise with nearly infinite future possibilities. Perfect parcel for a custom home, an agricultural business, or do both! Of the 9.46 total acres, 5.86 acres are 'Zone X' dry land, while 3.60 acres are part of a larger wooded wetlands. The wetlands begin at the tree line to the north (rear) of the property. This green space, which includes a tranquil pond, offers excellent privacy at the rear of the property. On the West end sits a 40' x 60' red-iron metal building, accessible easily by a gate on LeGrande St that enters into a gravel parking area. A 12 x 15 insulated office (drywall interior, plywood facing warehouse) is constructed in the building, plus a 12kBTU minisplit AC installed in 2024 to handle office heating and cooling. The remainder of the building is unfinished clear-span construction with a concrete slab floor and a 200a electrical subpanel. 14' eaves, front & rear pedestrian doors, and three 10' tall roll up doors (3rd roll up door not pictured, faces bathroom building). Near the metal building is a small accessory building with a full bathroom (including shower), plus a utility room with water heater and washer/dryer connections. Power is run underground from the street frontage to the backside of the building, no overhead power lines enter the property! Meter and main shut-off panel on rear of building, 200a subpanel inside building. The building has 200amp service, while the drop from the pole to the meter was intentionally oversized in order to adequately service at least 400a service to allow for a future 200a house service without the need for a new primary utility connection. The well was drilled new in 2015 with water run to the steel building, accessory building, and in a loop to various hose spigots scattered around the property. There's a shaded gravel RV pad (approximately 12'x60') extending from gravel parking area, 50amp electrical, water, and sewer connection for RV. Plans were submitted in 2016 to build a 2500sf home, impact fees paid, perk tests performed, but ultimately the house wasn't built and permits cancelled. The impact fees paid will reduce or eliminate additional impact fees for new construction, verify details with county. 15 loads of fill dirt were spread in the field towards the East to level & elevate the homesite location. The dirt has naturally compacted while sitting in place for 8+ years. There is gate to access the gravel parking area from LeGrande St, plus an additional gate directly on CR 450 frontage. The plan was to build a home on the Eastern side of the parcel, visually separating the home from the shop. No active/open permits exist, future home & homesite specifics are fully up to the buyer. This land is set up perfectly to build your dream home with plenty of room for dry materials storage during construction in the 2400sf building. Use the building for personal or business use in the future. In addition to water and power already being in place, Lake county allows property owners to live in an RV on-site, as long as they have active permits to construct a home on-site. Once the home is completed, long-term living in the RV is no longer allowed, though short term guests are generally OK. Park your RV for an immediate home-base while building your dream home! Surrounding homes are of various sizes and designs, all on larger parcels. Convenient to Mt. Dora, Eustis, and The Villages. Schedule a tour today!
