Lake County gets its name honestly. Hundreds of lakes stretch across rolling hills, orange-grove country and small towns with historic downtowns, which gives the area a pace of life that’s hard to find anywhere else in Central Florida. Mount Dora is known for its antique shops and festivals, and Tavares sits on the Harris Chain of Lakes. Clermont’s hills are among the highest ground in the state. Wherever you settle, the water is never far away.
Curington Homes has been building custom homes in Central Florida since 1972, and northern Lake County is an easy drive from our Ocala headquarters. We build across Leesburg, Lady Lake, Fruitland Park, Tavares, Eustis, Mount Dora, Umatilla and the surrounding communities. Every home is designed around your lot, whether that’s a lakefront parcel, acreage outside town or a homesite near The Villages in Sumter County.
From the Harris Chain of Lakes to quiet spring-fed lakes tucked between the hills, Lake County offers waterfront homesites you won't find in most of Florida. We design homes that face the water, with big windows, covered lanais and outdoor living spaces that make the most of the view.
Historic downtowns in Mount Dora, Eustis and Tavares give Lake County a hometown feel, while Leesburg and Clermont continue to grow with new shopping, dining and healthcare. You get the character of a small town without being far from anything.
Outside the city limits, Lake County still has open land, old citrus groves and rural parcels with room for a workshop, a pool or a custom barn. We plan your home around the land, including well and septic, driveway access and the best placement on the property.
With The Villages close by and many buyers relocating to the area, single-story living is in high demand. Our ranch style homes keep everything on one level with wide hallways, walk-in showers and low-maintenance finishes, so the home works just as well in 20 years as it does on move-in day.
Lake County sits between Ocala and Orlando, with quick access to US 441, US 27 and Florida's Turnpike. Orlando's airport, the theme parks, the Atlantic beaches and the Gulf Coast are all within reach for a day trip.
Production builders in Lake County often limit you to a handful of plans on a small lot. With Curington, your floor plan is drafted in-house and designed room by room around your family, your land and your budget.
