Local Insight
At $194/sqft for a nearly 4,000 sqft home on 1.21 acres, you're getting solid land value in Tavares—this is the kind of acreage that justifies the price and gives you actual privacy and buffer, which is rare in the area unless you're paying waterfront premiums. The trade-off is the 1987 build age means you'll want to budget carefully for a thorough inspection on systems like the roof, HVAC, and plumbing before committing, since updates won't be uniform across a home this size. If you're serious about the Tavares lifestyle—lake access, boating culture, and small-town living—this Old Mill Run location gives you the space and lot size to actually enjoy it without the waterfront markup, assuming you're willing to drive a few minutes to the water.
