Consider
buying a lakefront property far from either coast—west and south of Disney World.
• Central Florida is subject to a rare "ice-event" overnight, and daytime temps in the 40s and 50s can happen: but the "swing-months" of October, November, March and April, can be downright balmy.
To get a rough idea of the difference, add an average of 20º above New England's temperatures.
• Florida lake properties are promising as investments, IMHO; for example, a neighbor has built a stone-walled castle, complete with a huge round turret!
(No moat or drawbridge as yet).
Because of mandated updates necessary since the original purchase, a realtor said my ¼-acre lakefront real estate would only raise $30K in today's market: But what a great spot for peaceful enjoyment of abundant wildlife surrounded by a clear rainwater-filled lake! Weekenders—most hail from Florida's west coast—are only a blip in the quietude.
It's
not for sale!
• Have an entire lake to yourself to set up a slalom course!
• Catch two Bass with one cast!
Here's a 49-second scan of the lake on a typical April weekday:
