WHAT WATER VIEWS OF THE ST. JOHNS And all its activity FROM "YOUR VERY OWN RIVER RETREAT" -= sit on the dock or 24 x 12 screen porch where you can enjoy refreshments or take your boat from the covered boathouse with lift and go cruising up and down the waterway and its tributaries (Scenic Blue Creek is a must). Home may be older but had a complete interior makeover in 2000 and separate room of 432 square feet not included in home square footage)was constructed in 2003 (now use your imagination here - water, electric and window unit in place so could serve as a hobby room, office, or additional bedroom/guest quarters - has its own entrance. Got a golf cart - GREAT because as of June 2012 this property is part of Lake County approved golf cart community for Holiday Haven - great economical way to visit friends and neighbors in this quaint community where people wave, say hi, walk, jog and ride bikes. With the central location of Astor (lots of history here) on State Road 40 it is just a short ride to the beaches and historic DeLand or Mount Dora. Several eateries accessible from the water and the road - looking for something to do - visit the Chamber of Commerce website for calendar of events for activities, organizations and clubs. Community is surrounded by The Ocala National Forest so wildlife galore - wild turkeys, sand cranes, eagles soaring, hoot owls, blue herons, and oh so much more. You don't know what you are missing - so come for a visit and make it your home - year round or getaway!!
