Lecanto Multifamily Home for Sale

Lecanto, a community in Homosassa Springs, is situated 9 miles east of the town and 10 miles east of Crystal River. This neighborhood features single-family homes on spacious lots, often 1 to 3 acres, with many properties free from HOA fees and deed restrictions. The area’s inland location means most homes are not in flood-designated zones, reducing the need for flood insurance. Lecanto is adjacent to Withlacoochee State Forest, offering hiking, hunting, and camping opportunities. Subdivisions like Timberlane Estates feature ranch-style homes from the 1980s and ‘90s on 1-acre lots, conveniently located less than 2 miles from a new shopping center. Lecanto’s streets rarely have sidewalks, making cars essential for getting around. Citrus County Schools serve the area, with Lecanto High noted for its high college readiness score. For private education, Seven Rivers Christian School offers classes from Pre-K through 12th grade. The neighborhood is about 30 miles from Ocala and 75 to 80 miles from Tampa, Orlando, and Gainesville. Local amenities include a variety of dining options along Norvell Bryant Highway, such as Paige’s Root Beer and World Fusion, and a new shopping center with a Starbucks, Aldi, and Target. Recreational features include Lecanto Community Park, with basketball and tennis courts, and the nearby Withlacoochee State Forest for hiking. The Citrus Memorial Health Foundation YMCA offers youth sports and swim programs. Lecanto also benefits from county-wide events like the Concert Series at Citrus Springs Community Center and dive-in movies at Bicentennial Park.
