Small Central Florida Lakes In addition to the Clermont and Harris Chains, Lake County is literally covered with small lakes and ponds.  Most of these lakes are spring-fed with clear water and white sandy bottoms. The vast majority are private with access only by property owners and are less than 100 acres in size. This is wonderful Old-Florida living at it's finest.  Swimming in one of our small spring-fed lakes is a delightful experience and most people don't realize that some of the best fishing in our State is located in our small private lakes. Water skiing in a 100 acre lake is not encouraged. Wakes from large powerboats erode the shoreline and the constant noise disturbs the solitude that these lakes are known for.  Lakefront property on our smaller lakes tends to be less expensive than on the large Chains, unless the lake greatly exceeds 100 acres.  Clear water lakes over 100 acres are especially rare and desirable.  A few of these lakes, such as Lake Dalhoosie in Umatilla and Lake Gertrude in Mount Dora are so expensive a sizeable lot alone can exceed $1,000,000. Fortunately, you can occasionally still find a nice lakefront lot on a small private lake starting around $250,000.   These properties are rapidly appreciating and we expect them to be out of reach for most buyers in just a few years. We invite you to tour this website in detail, especially taking the time to browse and view our property database.  If you would like more information about Lake County real estate, please contacts us.
