1374 E OHIO Avenue Build your dream homestead on approximately 10 acres in beautiful Lake Helen where privacy, open space, and country living come together without putting you far from everything. Located along a county-maintained paved road, this expansive property offers the rare combination of a peaceful, secluded setting and convenient access to major roads, nearby communities, beaches, and everyday amenities. You can enjoy the quiet of the country while still being just minutes from I-4 and within easy reach of larger hubs. Envision your custom dream home paired with a beautiful barn-style outbuilding, workshop, equestrian setup, or the ultimate place to store all your toys. With approximately 10 acres and no HOA, there is room to create the lifestyle you've always wanted with horses, cattle, goats, chickens, recreational vehicles, equipment, hobbies, and more. The property is currently used as pastureland for cattle and was previously operated as an equine breeding facility, making it especially well suited for buyers looking for an established agricultural or equestrian property. The land is currently classified as Agricultural/Greenbelt and is zoned A-2 Rural Agriculture, with a Rural Future Land Use designation. The property is cleared, gently sloping, and features a mixture of improved Bahia and native grasses. Dutch clover has been planted throughout the back pastures to provide enhanced forage for livestock and wildlife. The property is cross-fenced with no-climb woven wire, providing an established setup for livestock and equestrian use. The property includes a 4, 847-square-foot horse barn with eight interior stalls, including three steel-gridded stalls, four exterior in-paddock run-ins, and two foaling stalls. There is also a fully enclosed and lighted A-frame wooden barn with a clay-sand floor that can function as a small covered riding or groundwork area, as well as a 230-square-foot concrete-floored tack/feed room. A separate 1, 152-square-foot Morton outbuilding/shop provides three large bays for equipment storage, vehicles, hobbies, or future workshop needs. Water and electric are already on site, and the property has roadway frontage on a paved, publicly maintained county road. The parcel is outside city limits and has no HOA, giving you significantly more flexibility to create your own private retreat. Nature is another major part of the appeal. The acreage provides habitat for abundant wildlife, including deer, cranes, bald eagles, hawks, turkey, wood storks, squirrels, and more. Portions of the back acreage are within the Florida Wildlife Corridor, adding to the property's natural character and sense of privacy. And then there's Lake Helen. A charming, quiet community where country roads, open acreage, and a slower pace of life coexist with easy access to the rest of Central Florida. You're close to I-4, within reach of New Smyrna Beach and the Atlantic coast, and conveniently positioned for access to DeLand, Sanford, Daytona, and surrounding areas. It's the best of both worlds: secluded enough to feel like your own private world, but close enough that you're never completely removed from it. Whether you envision a custom country home with a barn, an equestrian property, a working homestead, a place for livestock, or simply acreage where you have the freedom to enjoy your space, this land offers an exceptional foundation for making that vision a reality. Cattle, portable panels, feed bunks, and round bale rings do not convey.
