0000 BERTSVILLE ROAD & GRIFFIN VIEW DRIVE LADY LAKE FL 32159 | MLS #G5109689

165′ Above Sea Level! Known Locally as “Thrill Hill” this exceptional property is one of the highest points in the Lady Lake corridor! This elite 37.06-acre estate (comprised of two 18.53-acre parcels) offers a staggering 165′ ASL elevation–nearly 100 feet above the surrounding basin. Enjoy HIGH & DRY Florida living at its peak, located entirely in Flood Zone “X” (the good one, no mandatory flood insurance required), boasting breathtaking vistas of Lake Griffin. **40 YEARS AGO, the property was a working citrus grove. After the freezes of the 1980s, the land was cleared, returned to nature and has remained in the same family ever since (be sure to view the “Vintage” photos for a glimpse into its history). An existing legacy 10″ commercial well casing was originally permitted (exp. 1992) for grove irrigation and is sold ‘as-is’, with documentation available. It offers outstanding potential to be restored and re-permitted for high-capacity flow serving a professional-grade equine facility or estate irrigation. Each parcel features paved road frontage on two sides, allowing for flexible dual grand entrances. Electric available at the site. Under the Lake County Comprehensive Land Use Plan (allowing one home per 5 acres), this land could conceivably be divided to build up to 7 homes, a luxury Equine Estate Showplace, or a combination of both. Best of all, there are no HOA or deed restrictions! **FINANCIAL ADVANTAGES FOR OUT-OF-STATE BUYERS: Florida offers major tax benefits, including no state income tax, zero state inheritance tax, and no state capital gains tax. Agricultural Exemptions and Homestead Protection can significantly lower property taxes (note: listed taxes cover both parcels). An informational brochure detailing Florida’s financial benefits is available upon request. **EAST PARCEL: Cleared with mature oak shade trees, scenic views overlooking Lake Griffin, and fast-draining soil ideal for pastures, arenas, and hooves. Ready for your custom farm house, state-of-the-art-barns, covered arena, and round pen. **WEST PARCEL: Sparsely wooded with private riding trails, providing high-and-dry footing year-round, no flooding here! Ideal for a luxury barndominium with broodmare stalls, a shady arena, and secluded riding paths. ** PRIME LOCATION: Enjoy deep rural tranquility just 15 minutes to The Villages’ world-class shopping, dining, medical, hospital, and entertainment. Across Griffin View Road lies Harbor Hills Golf and Country Club. Water enthusiasts will love Lake Griffin–part of the Harris Chain of Lakes, renowned for tournament bass fishing, boating, and waterfront dining–with a marina right at the end of Bertsville Road. **EQUESTRIAN DESTINATIONS are within easy reach: 4 miles to LCross Arena, 5 miles to Windy Acres Arena, 8 miles to The Grand Oaks Equestrian Center, and approximately 40 minutes to World Equestrian Center & Florida Horse Park.
