3663 Griffin View Drive
Lady Lake, FL 32159

RARE OPPORTUNITY! Welcome to 3663 Griffin View Drive, a PRIVATE LAKEFRONT 73 acre OASIS situated on 213-acre Lady Lake, from which the historic town gets its name. This gorgeous property boasts 36 acres of dry land and 37 acres of wetland, including two distinct portions of the lake on the north and east boundaries, respectively. The 1,400-ft private driveway guides you through a shaded canopy of mature oaks, where you will also spot several orange trees: remnants of an abandoned citrus grove waiting to be rediscovered. The drive opens to an approximately 5-acre homesite that is beautifully landscaped with towering live oaks, perennial flowering plants, local fruit and palms trees, along with paved front and side patios. Constructed in 1943, this beautiful Arts and Crafts-style concrete block home will bring you back to a time when life was simpler and slow-paced. The traditional floor plan features a dine-in galley kitchen with stunning panoramic views of Lady Lake. From the kitchen, glass doors invite you onto the large deck or one of two screened porches overlooking the serene lake, where you can enjoy the sandhill cranes and may even sight the occasional Florida black bear. A gallery, near the front entry, offers ample storage with unique built-in cabinetry/closets and a skylight for abundant natural light. Gorgeous original hardwood floors run throughout the home, including the living room and three spacious bedrooms, while the two bathrooms (one en-suite) showcase the artistic 1940s tile. The generous living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace and large bayed picture windows overlooking the lake. Beautiful original stained glass windows adorn the formal dining room, adding to the allure of this charming nostalgic home. With ample attic storage space and room to expand in several directions, the already generous 2,510-square-foot home would make the perfect residence for a homesteading family, or someone seeking a quiet and inspiring forever home. In addition to the main house, two versatile outbuildings offer space for parking and/or storage: one large carport (approx. 1,200 sq. ft.) and a concrete block 2-car garage (approx. 550 sq. ft.). The more than 30 wooded acres at the front of the property provide the opportunity to expand on existing walking trails. Bird-watching stations, biking trails, garden areas, or camp sites are just a few of the nearly endless opportunities that await when making this amazing property your own!
