Star Lake is in a beautiful community which includes retirees. The lake is one of the favorites for this area. It is a spring-fed lake that is stable, unlike many other lakes in the area because of how it is situated, being a surface aquifer. The water levels consistently fluctuate no more than an average of 1 ft. The lake is currently at it's normal level. The fishing is excellent, boating, swimming, or kayaking are enjoyable activities here. This area is a jewel for the wildlife that shares their homes with us. It is located roughly less than 15 miles to the Sweetwater Wetlands Park which is a wonderful place to visit and walk the trails and see so much wildlife in their natural habitats. The many species of birds venture out, giving us the privilege of their presence!
Fishing, oh yes, fishing! Bring your fishing gear. The lake has bass, bluegill, and speckled perch. You can bring a boat which owner can assist in launching. You may keep it at the dock, or shore (inquire about the possibilities before booking)
The home was recently renovated making it feel like new. There are 3 large bedrooms, and 2 large bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king bed and is upstairs with a bath (shower, no tub). Also upstairs, is a large balcony with seating and has 2 large glass dormers, east and west facing. On the main floor are 2 large bedrooms with a queen bed in one, and the other bedroom has 2 full sized beds, with both having large closets. (Pictures of the furnished 2 full beds forthcoming) There is a separate dining room downstairs with a door to the pergola patio that has party lights for ambiance. There are 2 a/c units ensuring each floor its' desired comfort setting.
The living room and kitchen are an open floor plan with a beautiful island and 4 bar stools. The cabinetry allows for much storage. The kitchen has all new appliances with beautiful granite countertops. The kitchen is outfitted with just about anything you would need to cook for your family. Owner can be very accommodating, so if you don’t find what you need, let her know. Importantly, the home is very fresh and clean, and smells clean. A clean home is a priority to us and cleaned well between guests.
Internet and TV’s: The home has a Verizon wireless box with very fast upload/download speeds. The living room has a new 65” smart TV. The master suite has a large smart TV as well.
Two kayaks and life vests are available for your use.
The home has a wooded driveway and gate which can be left open/closed. The home is located in Star Lake Forest which has 3 lakes in the community. The home is located on the backside of the largest lake, Star Lake. Part of the community has paved roads, and part of it doesn’t. The house sits off a portion that is a county maintained packed dirt road and is rather smooth much of the time. The house is also surrounded by site-built homes. Many residents enjoy riding in their golf carts, so you may bring one with you if you wish. Some residents enjoy walking in the community.
I think you will enjoy the home, property and lake and all it has to offer. Sitting on the L-shaped sofa and watching boats go by, eagles fishing or landing in the trees or dock, or the great white egrets fishing along the shoreline is so awe inspiring. There are so many species of birds to see here. Many people find this area a nice reprieve from the grid-locked busy cities and beach communities in south FL. It is an easy commute to Gainesville or Ocala for shopping and restaurants. Hawthorne has a few eateries, and Melrose and Keystone Heights have eateries and restaurants as well.
Located in North Central FL between both coasts, St. Augustine to the east and Cedar Key to the west. A little over an hour to the beaches. There are many natural springs in North Central FL, our area, within about an hour for snorkeling, scuba diving, or tubing. The Hawthorne "Rails to Trails" is a popular paved path to Gainesville for walking or biking. I give all of my guests an information sheet with things to do, such as parks, and restaurants and other unique things to do in the area or close by.
Check-in: Myself or a representative meet guests to assure they arrive and give a brief overview of the home, and answer any questions. I have found this to be valuable to our guests.
Prices: There are no hidden costs or fees.
