About this property

Island Lake Redwood Cottage With Canoe and Grill: Relax, Swim, Fish, Ski, Enjoy

  • This beautiful, spacious, redwood cottage sits on incredible Island Lake about 2 miles out side of the unincorporated community of Orange Springs. Set on a perfect, private lake lot, the property consists of the large main house, a spacious guest house, carport, dock, boat house, and patio. Great lake views, old live oak trees with Spanish moss, and a lake breeze describe this picturesque environment. Completely renovated in 2011, this marvelous retreat has a large kitchen with gas range; dining, living, and family rooms overlooking the lake; new baths; laundry facilities; well-appointed furnishings; and more. The main house sleeps 7. If you rent the optional guest house (2 persons), the property can accommodate a total of 9. The dock is terrific for fishing and the lake is great for swimming. 80 feet of shoreline awaits you. There is a canoe, charcoal grill, picnic table, and fire pit for relaxing outdoors.

    As well, I have 2 other lake houses nearby if this one seems too large.


    The property sits ideally between the cities of Ocala, Gainesville, and Palatka, each with its own distinct character. Ocala is home to:
    Elegant Horse Country and Farms
    National Ocala National Forest
    Silver Springs Park is located
    Central Florida Community College
    Gainesville is home to:
    The University of Florida
    Santa Fe Community College
    Shans University Hospital
    The Veterans Hospital
    Palatka is home to:
    The St. Johns River
    Fun Restaurants on the water
    Closeness to East Coast Beaches

    OTHER LAKE OPTIONS: Check out my two other lakefront properties on the next lake over. These other 2 are next door to each other on separate acres. Ideal to rent just one cottage or for a large family gathering by leasing both. Listing/ Property IDs: 127321 and 117133.
