A 1912 farmhouse on a hill above Lake Dora, with a deep wraparound porch, a working orange grove and a long view down to the water.

Orange Blossom Hill is a 1912 farmhouse on a rise above Lake Dora, with a deep porch that wraps three sides of the house, a working grove of orange trees and a long view down through the oaks to the water.

The house has been carefully kept rather than remade: heart pine floors, original windows, and a center hall with a parlor and a dining room on either side. The kitchen and baths are new. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, a study and a sleeping porch.

Seen twice

Noon, and the hour before dark.

Orange Blossom Hill: a white clapboard farmhouse with a wraparound porch, an orange grove in the foreground and a lake beyond the oaks.
Orange Blossom Hill at dusk, its wraparound porch lit and the last peach light over Lake Dora behind the oaks.

From the porch you watch the light go peach over Lake Dora, and in spring the grove smells of blossom well after dark. Downtown Mount Dora is a five minute drive.
