About This Home
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.
