Virtually Staged. A RARE CENTRAL FLORIDA RETREAT - ACREAGE, WATERFRONT, WILDLIFE & COMPLETE PRIVACY. Some properties give you a place to live. Others give you the opportunity to create an entirely different way of life. Welcome to 13401 Palm Drive in Astatula, an extraordinary expanse of natural Central Florida where towering live oaks, hardwood ha
mmocks, cypress, pine, wetlands, and abundant wildlife come together to create something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy, and nature on a remarkable scale. Set at the end of Palm Drive and bordering Little Lake Harris, this property offers extensive waterfront along the renowned Harris Chain of Lakes.
Step onto the property and the noise of everyday life quickly disappears. Instead, imagine mornings beneath a canopy of mature oaks, evenings overlooking the expansive landscape with gorgeous sunsets, and a blank canvas to possibly create your own network of walking or nature trails winding through acres of untouched Florida landscape.
This property offers tremendous possibilities. Approximately 2-acre homesite provides an established location for a future residence and outbuilding. Existing improvements include a well (new pump and water/iron filter with 5-button head and 2032 battery backup), septic system, electricity, cleared area, storage building, and manufactured home, providing useful infrastructure while plans for the property's next chapter take shape.
The balance of the acreage remains largely natural and protected, creating what feels more like a private nature preserve than a conventional homesite. Deer, turkey, waterfowl, and countless other species of native wildlife make this land their home. Create trails beneath the trees, establish quiet observation areas, enjoy fishing and the outdoors, or simply preserve the property exactly as nature intended.
And while the setting feels wonderfully removed, you are not isolated from everything Central Florida offers. Orlando, its international airport, and world-famous attractions including Walt Disney World are within convenient driving distance, while the Atlantic coast and New Smyrna Beach are roughly 75 minutes away, depending on traffic.
That makes the property equally compelling as a permanent retreat, weekend escape, or legacy property for generations to enjoy. This is not a subdivision opportunity, and it is not intended to be one. Rather than hundreds of rooftops, the future here is one of privacy, trees, water, wildlife, and open space.
For the right buyer, 13401 Palm Drive is less about buying acreage and more about securing something that is disappearing rapidly in Central Florida - room to breathe, room to explore, and the freedom to create a private retreat surrounded by nature. Bring your boots. Walk the property. Stand beneath the oaks. See the water. Then imagine what you could create here.
