Set amidst Florida’s Harris Chain of Lakes, a 51-acre haven of waterfront living, Bird Island is a private escape. Located on the western edge of Lake Griffin across from the Emeralda Marsh Conservation area, your island oasis is an ideal spot for wildlife watching. Hundreds of species of wintering birds, egrets, cranes, bald eagles, and ducks call this area home, as well as a few manatee’s and alligators. The Harris Chain of Lakes’ relatively deep waters supports a variety of different craft and watersports. Fish for prize-winning bass or spend time floating or exploring. Take a day trip by boat up to Silver Springs in Ocala to explore the crystal-clear artisan spring waters or to historic Mt. Dora for a gourmet lunch. You are less than two hours from Daytona Beach and The Space Coast to the east and Tampa to the west. Orlando, home of Disney World, is only an hour away. Top equestrian facilities nearby such as Grand Oaks Resort just 14 minutes away, travel 25 miles to Florida Horse Park, and the largest equestrian facility in the United States, World Equestrian Center, is only an hour away. Bird Island is just 10 minutes from shopping and golf in the small lakefront community of Lady Lake.
