Why Live in Wahoo
Wahoo, a neighborhood in Bushnell, is characterized by its large tracts of vacant land and diverse home styles, including cottages, ranch-style homes, and bungalows. Many homes are situated on multiacre lots, accessible via long dirt driveways or clustered along narrow streets. The area is rich in natural beauty, with Spanish moss-draped oak trees surrounding the Wahoo Community Building, which serves as a camping site and features walking paths and a historical plaque about the Battle of Wahoo Swamp. Outdoor activities abound with the nearby Jumper Creek Wildlife Management Area, part of the Withlacoochee State Forest, offering opportunities for fishing, hunting, and wildlife viewing. The Withlacoochee State Trail and Trails End provide options for hiking, backpacking, and mountain biking. While Wahoo lacks a grocery store or gas station, the Wood Shed Pub, a long-standing dive bar, serves as a local gathering spot. Essential services are available in Bushnell, just over 5 miles away, including a Walmart and various dining options. The neighborhood is served by Lake Panasoffkee Elementary and South Sumter Middle, both highly rated schools located about 15 miles away. Access to major routes is convenient, with Interstate 75 under 10 miles away and Orlando approximately 65 miles west.
