This land once belonged to one of Winter Garden’s

This land once belonged to one of Winter Garden’s original citrus growing families, all the way back to 1909. So yes, that mossy oak canopy you see in every shot has been putting on a show for over a century!

📍Hickory Hammock

🌊 Built around three waterways, the massive 2500 acre Johns Lake plus Lake Burnett and Lake Claire

🎣 Locals know Johns Lake for its bass fishing, so anglers, take note

🌳 Gated with two entrances, both shaded by oaks draped in Spanish moss

🏊 Zero entry community pool, clubhouse, fitness center, tennis and sand volleyball courts, plus a community pier and private docks for many lakefront homes

🦅 Home to osprey, bald eagles, and sand hill cranes, so nature comes standard here

🚗 Minutes from Winter Garden Village and a straight shot to Disney, Universal, and downtown Orlando

What would this Johns Lake view be worth to you? DM me or drop your guess in the comments, and watch here for the list price on this lakefront paradise 👇🏻
