This character English owned, 1950's built pool villa is located in the quaint "Antiques" town of Mount Dora, 26 miles from Sanford Orlando Airport, less than an 45 minutes from Disney and situated in the rolling hills and lakes of beautiful Lake County in Central Florida. The town is characterized as little New England by travel gurus and is known as the "Antique capital" of Florida. The town's Lake Dora front setting features an ante-bellum Inn, said to be the oldest in Florida where you can sit in a rocking chair on the porch watching the sunset with a cold beer or home-made lemonade, dozens of shoppes, quaint eateries, and open air pubs, there's even a dogs bakery there! Many visitors also liken Mount Dora to a cross between New Orleans and Key West. A world away from the Blackpool style International Drive or housing estates of Kissimmee and Clermont.However the theme parks and attractions are less than an hour away and the beaches less than two hours to either coast. This area offers all of the activities the beautiful state of Florida has to offer, yet comfortably away from the crowds. Ten minutes away are shopping malls, movie theaters, numerous restaurants, grocery stores, golf courses, and a new state-of-the- art full service medical facility. The town is twinned with Forres in Scotland and this is evident by some of the street names like Highland Avenue and there is also the Scottish themed Highland Cafe which is walking distance of our house. Situated backing right onto Mount Dora public golf course yet still retains a degree of privacy around the south-facing 30' x 15' pool (unheated)and large secluded gardens. Our spacious home is clean and bright and newly re-decorated and carpetted. The master bedroom suite is situated at the opposite end from the other bedrooms allowing for privacy from your other guests. All furniture and linens are new and European in style. However obviously the architectural style reflects the age and charm of the home.

Last year the home was used as a location set by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp for their documentary "The Fifth Estate".
