Officially Relaunched – 5.4 Acres of Private Lakefront Living on Lake Colby This rare Lake Helen property has been strategically repositioned and is being reintroduced to the market to align with today’s acreage and lakefront demand. Discover a rare chance to live an authentic lifestyle: 5.4 acres of private lakefront land on beautiful Lake Colby, where your days can include fishing at sunrise, watching wildlife, tending to your horses, or building the homestead you have always imagined. This is not just a property. It is a complete lifestyle shift if you have been searching for space, freedom, nature, and possibility. Welcome home. Tucked away at the end of a quiet road, this property offers unmatched privacy and a peacefulness that is increasingly difficult to find in Lake Helen. Whether you dream of raising animals, expanding your family compound, starting a hobby farm, or creating a waterfront retreat, this land provides the setting to make those dreams a reality. Bring your horses. The property includes stables and open land for grazing. Bring your chickens, goats, dogs, or livestock. There is room here for a full homestead lifestyle. With private lake frontage on Lake Colby, you can fish, kayak, paddle, or take a small boat out from your own backyard. Spend evenings by the water watching the sky turn gold and mornings greeted by deer, cranes, and natural wildlife that roam the property. A large metal workshop-style structure provides flexibility for storage, equipment, hobbies, vehicles, boats, or projects. The acreage also offers potential for expansion, additional structures, or future customization. The existing home provides a warm and comfortable place to live while you create your long-term vision. Enjoy evenings by the wood-burning fireplace after a day outdoors. The large front porch overlooking the water offers an ideal setting for morning coffee or sunset relaxation. A 30-amp RV hookup with septic connection adds further flexibility for guests or travel. Although the property feels secluded, it remains conveniently located near I-4, DeLand, downtown Lake Helen, and surrounding amenities—offering peaceful country living without sacrificing access. This is not the typical Lake Helen or Deltona home. This is for the buyer who wants land, water, privacy, and the opportunity to build a lifestyle with space and purpose. With improved positioning and renewed momentum, this is the moment to explore what 5.4 acres of lakefront opportunity can provide. Schedule your private tour and experience the land, the lake, and the lifestyle firsthand.

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This luminous 1887 Victorian is a rare opportunity in Lake Helen’s historic corridor—restored with care, modernized for comfort, and wrapped in sunlight, character, and established gardens. Inside, natural light pours through large east- and south-facing windows, accentuating tall ceilings and original architectural craftsmanship. Heart-of-pine floors flow across the first and second levels, complemented by pocket doors that transition from the dining room into a flexible living space—ideal as a music room, den, bedroom, or office. The front living area centers around a working fireplace, setting the tone for evenings of quiet comfort. Photos have been digitally altered to remove all personal property on site. Best efforts have been made to preserve the characteristics of the property, though some minor changes may be present as a result of digital alterations. The kitchen delivers volume and drama with vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams milled in Lake Helen, abundant cabinetry, and a door that opens to a breezy side porch. A bright rear mudroom/laundry anchors the everyday entrance from the garage, and both levels offer full bathrooms for convenience. Bedrooms are generously sized—notable for a home of this vintage—and the upstairs suite opens to its own private balcony. A fully finished third floor expands the home’s usable square footage with heat, air, four windows of daylight, and a lofty vantage point where you can watch launches from Cape Canaveral. Major system improvements include AC/heat upstairs installed December 2024, ductwork under the first floor (2023), a roof installed on the main structure in 2018, solar added within the last four years, and significant restoration in the early 2000s by the previous owner that included updated wiring, plumbing, and insulation. Outdoors, the property becomes a private botanical playground. A pergola draped in mature purple wisteria anchors a peaceful garden full of producing citrus, loquat, guava, olive, apple, plum, camellias, cedar, live oak, flowering shrubs, and established hardscape. A well supplies drinking water and irrigation, complemented by a salt filtration system at the source, sprinklers, and thoughtful landscape lighting. A Chicago-brick courtyard provides a secluded entertaining space beside the home, while a two-car garage offers storage and its own climate control. Located within the protected corridor, exterior modifications follow city preservation standards—protecting the surrounding character that makes this pocket of Lake Helen so loved. Timeless architecture. Meaningful renovations. Sun-filled rooms. Wraparound porches. Private gardens. This is the kind of historic Florida living that rarely comes to market—and even more rarely stays available.
