TAKE THE FIRST STEP TOWARD OWNING A PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY!!!  READ MY LISTING AND CALL BEN WINKLER @ (352)250-3555..........    The year was 1907.  In central Florida, business was booming.People were arriving by the day. No snow and plenty of opportunity, it seamed to good to be true. One man by the name of Ernest Wandry and his young bride arrived in the U.S. from  Germany with hopes and dreams of making it in America. They began working and befor long Mr. Wandry opened his own business making concrete block. That is one thing we had plenty of .....sand ....and lime ... concrete!!! It was a perfect idea to bring the materials in on the railway, make block ,and put them back on the trains; that were largely empty on their way back north.    Well his plan worked, and befor long Mr. and Mrs. Wandry  began building their dream home, this 9000sq. foot under roof mansion I am lucky enough to own today.  It took 13 years due to the anti- german sentiment at that time to complete construction but it was finished in 1923. It originally sat on over 700 acres of old growth southern oaks. It was used as a fernery and when citrus happened the ferns gave way to orange trees. The orange trees gave way over the years to homes and some rather nice neighborhoods.  Over the years the property has been reduced down to 5.3 acre.  In 2001 the house and property were designated a Local Historic Landmark. I first found this house as a boy. As it turned out,  almost twenty years later, I found it to be for sale.  It didn't take me long to know what I had to do. So I bought it and have been working on it ever since. I have repaired all of the serious damage and am widdling down the rest as I can. This property boasts panoramic views of Lake Eustis, a vault, a dumb waiter, a FULL BASEMENT IN FLORIDA(3,800sq ft., high and dry),full irrigation, well and city utilities, ALL NEW ELECTRIC AND PLUMBING, lots of American CYPRESS trim, solid doors, huge porchesdouble laid heart pine flooring, DADE PINE , solid concrete looks like individual stones, huge 52 car parking lot, a t-ball field, 2 clay tennis courts, a soccer field, cart paths and stairs between levels of the property, "miles" of sidewalk, and a giant turn around. !!!!!FULLY HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE!!!!!      So today what I am offering is an investment opportunity. I am willing to negotiate  a % return on a 150-200K investment  to finish saving this southern treasure.  On a draw schedule,  and start paying you interest in cash today!!! This house is full of equity and a business outline that will make this property  even more  profitable  when completed.  I have only one mortgage on this property.
