40928 Bridle Path Lane Leesburg, FL 34788

Just over 5 acres, NO HOA, agricultural zoning, and a fully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home backing directly to Emeralda Marsh conservation land. This property brings together features that can be difficult to find in one place! Don’t let the Leesburg address fool you. Located off County Road 452 on the Umatilla side of Leesburg, this home offers convenient access to North Lake County while providing space, privacy, and a natural backdrop.

Inside, you’ll find vaulted ceilings, no carpet, and a massive bonus room spanning more than 500 square feet with a built-in bar. Whether you need room for entertaining, a pool table, hobbies, or an additional living area, this space gives you options. A 480-square-foot screened back porch overlooks the acreage, extending the living space outdoors.

The property is fenced into two paddocks with two 10-foot gates for easy access. A four-car carport on a concrete pad provides covered parking with enough height to accommodate an RV. Additional structures include a barn suited for two stalls, a two-story chicken coop, and a large storage shed. A small pond brings a piece of Florida living to your backyard, with bluegill, bass, turtles, ducks, and other wildlife throughout the year. With conservation land directly behind the property, you can enjoy added privacy and expansive natural surroundings.

Approximately two miles up the road, the Emeralda Marsh boat ramp and surrounding conservation area offer opportunities for fishing, boating, birdwatching, hiking, and exploring nature. The property is also approximately 30 minutes from The Villages and Mount Dora and about an hour from the Orlando and Daytona Beach areas.
