You don’t see a 38 acre island on the market everyday around Orlando. Long Island is located within Lake Harris, in Tavares , Florida. Tavares lies about an hour to the Northwest of Orlando and is easily accessible via Florida’s Turnpike (map). The listing price is $13,000,000.

From the Coldwell Banker Islands & Resorts listing:
The best fishing in the lake exists off the island’s eastern side. And Lake Harris, being part of a chain of lakes and waterways, even enjoys boating access to the Atlantic Ocean.
A mainland parcel connecting the lake’s shoreline with a paved road provides an access link to Long Island, which remains a wondrously secluded, serene sanctuary whose sensitive use assures the preservation of its magnificent attributes for generations to come.

The Reserve at Tuscawilla is one of the nicer gated golf communities around Orlando. $699,000 will buy you a 4188 sq/ft 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom cul-de-sac home with pool, spa and 3 car garage. Not bad for this well developed and maintained community.
I did a little digging and realized that this particular home has decreased in value by 12% compared to this time last year. However, the property has increased in value by 58% over the last 5 years. Anyone who has been to the Reserve at Tuscawilla knows that it’s a fine community that will continue to be a top notch area to have a home in near Orlando.

In East Orlando, because of the sudden growth over the last 10 years, you’ll often see large well-built houses, farms or distinctive properties nestled up against suburban sprawl. When one of those larger-than-every-one-else houses comes on the market, everyone is naturally curious on both the price and how it will sell.
The property shown above, 11135 Lokanotosa Trl, Orlando, FL 32817, is being listed at just over $700,000. What it has going for it is that it’s walking distance to an elementary school and University High School. It’s near UCF and quite close to the Waterford Lakes Town Center. The problem is that it’s kind of like an ugly duckling - it’s not ugly at all, but it stick out so much from the surrounding area that it doesn’t fit in.
The home is being sold by the owner, not handled by any real estate agent.
