SR-19 CORNER COMMERCIAL LOT | UMATILLA, FL | C-2 ZONING | 9,300 SF
Opportunity to acquire one of the few remaining small-format vacant commercial corner lots with direct State Road 19 frontage in the Umatilla/Eustis corridor of North Lake County, Florida.
THE PROPERTY
This 9,300 square foot (0.2135 acre) parcel sits at the corner of State Road 19 and Leonard Street, offering dual road frontage on the primary commercial artery connecting Umatilla and Eustis. The lot measures approximately 100 feet by 100 feet — a clean, square configuration that maximizes buildable area, parking layout flexibility, and customer access design for virtually any small commercial use.
LOCATION ADVANTAGE
State Road 19 is the dominant north-south commercial corridor in this part of Lake County. Drive-by traffic from both directions, combined with the Leonard Street corner configuration, gives this parcel visibility and accessibility that interior lots simply cannot offer. The surrounding area features an established mix of retail, service commercial, and small business uses along the SR-19 corridor.
— Approximately 10 minutes to Historic Downtown Eustis
— Approximately 15 minutes to Mount Dora, a regional retail and tourism destination
— Strong Central Florida population growth driving continued demand for local commercial services

INFRASTRUCTURE NOTE
The Cities of Eustis and Umatilla have an active interlocal agreement to extend public sewer service down the SR-19 corridor. Buyers should verify current status and timeline with the respective municipalities. If executed, this infrastructure improvement significantly increases development viability and value for all SR-19 commercial parcels in the corridor — including this one.
