Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to 2315 Overlook Drive in Mount Dora along the shores of idyllic Lake Gertrude, one the best locations with a commanding view of this highly desired 248 acre lake. Lake Gertrude has some of best water quality of any natural lake in the State of Florida. The water is crystal clear, fish are abundant and clearly visible from any boat dock. Lake Gertrude is deep for a Florida lake, known for the sandy bottom, and because it is spring-fed, it keeps lake water levels from fluctuating significantly. Most of the lake is within the city limits of historic Mount Dora which is just a short walk away.  The lake is lined with beautiful lakefront homes of all description, from historic cottages to larger estate homes. The streets around Lake Gertrude are park-like with locals drawn to the peaceful setting for a morning or evening walk. Public Access to Lake Gertrude is limited except for a small canoe launch area on the west side. Swimming, fishing and water skiing are popular with lakefront property owners. The back yard gently slopes to 100’ of lake frontage, providing a blank canvas to envision how you want to enjoy the lake and admire spectacular sunsets. A semi-circular paver driveway offers abundant parking for guests who will take note of the generous front porch, accented with stately columns and stone work. The double door entry leads to the lower level or up to the main level of the home where the glassed doors allow for abundant natural light through the living room and panoramic views of Lake Gertrude.
