Exceptional .59-acre Commercial/Mixed Use Lot in Tavares, known as “America’s Seaplane City.” This high and dry land is free of environmental concerns and is adjacent to a busy Dunkin’ Donuts. Located at the intersection of major artery State Road 19 (S Duncan Dr) and Lake Harris Drive (Dead River Road), this active 4-lane divided road provides excellent visibility and access.
