OWN YOUR OWN PRIVATE, 34 ACRE NATURAL ISLAND NEAR FLORIDA'S (USA) WALT DISNEY WORLD

The potential to own and develop one of the greatest, most secluded, unique and exclusive private vacation estates in America is now yours near Orlando, Florida. This magnificent, trophy property has been sequestered as untouched "Old Florida" within a private estate holding for nearly four decades and is now available for new ownership. In part because of this protected history, Long Island is totally unique and unmatched in all of Florida, and probably the entire southeastern United States.
Long Island is about 3/4 mile in length, with approximately 2 miles of shoreline and is at its closest point, about 1/4 mile off the shoreline of 13, 788-acre Lake Harris, the 10th largest natural, freshwater lake in Florida. The island is totally natural and undeveloped. Principal tree species are Live Oak (as huge as they get in Florida) and Bald cypress, with occasional native palms. There is a small white sandy beach facing west to spectacular evening sunsets. Native bird life abounds with great blue heron, egret, anhinga and osprey--with their huge 8-foot diameter perennial nests
 

The best bass fishing in the entire lake is off the island's southeastern shoreline. Through the linked Ocklawaha chain of lakes and waterways, of which Long Island and Lake Harris are a part, there is boating access to the Atlantic Ocean.
 

Long Island enjoys Florida's subtropical climate, which is essentially pleasant and warm year around. The chilliest winter night several times a year might bring a touch of frost for several hours, but never touching the island itself due to the buffering effect of the surrounding warmer water. While Long Island remains in an essentially rural setting, multi-million dollar estate homes are developing around the lakeshore, but none are yet visible from the island itself. The feeling on the island remains that of total nature, but all of the essential amenities of civilization are closely available on the mainland. A major destination golf resort is minutes away, as are boat marinas and related shoreline facilities. A regional airport which accommodates 3-engine jet aircraft, float planes and helicopters (the latter two of which are capable of providing direct access to the island) is but fifteen minutes away by automobile.
 

At the closest point of the mainland is a small shoreline parcel which provides personal boat access to the island from the shoreline roadway.
Long Island is essentially hurricane proof, due to its central-state location, being about equal-distant from both the east and west coasts and the island exhibits no evidence of hurricane impact throughout its long history. Moreover, being a non-coastal, inland, freshwater island, it is immune to the now seriously escalating adverse effects of global warming and resultant sea level rise, affecting all of the ocean islands of the entire planet.
 

Long Island could host numerous development scenarios, but every increment of increased development density will tend to have a concomitant affect of adversely impacting the very natural values which constitute the island's great, natural attraction in the first place. Consequently, the most preservation-oriented use would be that of a single, private, estate residential ownership. The island could also host development of several private vacation estate homes, or could accommodate scores of higher density dwelling units. Depending on development density, utilities and services could be developed on-island or supplied from the mainland, or a combination thereof. Other development scenarios might include use as a corporate retreat complex, a fishing, boating or recreational camp, or large scale timeshare, hotel or senior center complex on the mainland, with use of the island primarily as an adjacent amenity.

For any ownership or development use contemplated, Long Island constitutes a very unique, one-of-a-kind trophy resource providing a development base for creating an unmatched estate home or other residential or use complex which could not be matched by the development of another raw island resource anywhere else in the entire state. When this one is gone, there simply are NO OTHERS!
 

A great part of Long Island's appeal is also due to its being so very close (45 driving minutes) to the major city of Orlando. The central Florida/greater Orlando area (of which Walt Disney World Resort is a major component) is considered to be the greatest destination resort attraction area on the entire planet!
Take your guests and children to Walt Disney World during the day; bring them home to sleep on YOUR OWN Long Island that night! No one else in the ENTIRE world can do THAT!!
