​​​•​ Florida lake properties are promising as investments, IMHO; for example, a neighbor has built a stone-walled castle, complete with a huge round turret!

(No moat or drawbridge as yet).



Because of mandated updates necessary since the original purchase, a realtor said my ¼-acre lakefront real estate would only raise $30K in today's market: But what a great spot for peaceful enjoyment of abundant wildlife surrounded by a clear rainwater-filled lake! Weekenders—most hail from Florida's west coast—are only a blip in the quietude.

It's not for sale!

​​​•​ Have an entire lake to yourself to set up a slalom course!



​​​•​ Catch two Bass with one cast!



Here's a 49-second scan of the lake on a typical April weekday:
