Description

In 1887, Leander Farnsworth, a shoe merchant from Detroit, Michigan purchased the property. It remained in his family until the 1930's. In 1992, the property was sold and made into a Bed & Breakfast. It has remained a Historical B & B ever since. There have been four owners during the period of 1992 to 2018. The present owners have taken great pride in this Historic Mt. Dora property and they have restored it to its present condition. As a result, the reputation of the Farnsworth House and its revenue stream have grown exponentially....Mt. Dora continues to thrive and has received many awards and national accolades to include "The Best Small Town in Florida". The town and the Farnsworth House compliment each other in a "win-win" situation. This beautiful property contains 9 separate suites, each with their own bathroom and seven with kitchenettes, within two historic buildings on a one-acre site in downtown Mt. Dora. The size, décor, and layouts are different in each suite. As a result, this property can be utilized for daily and weekly rentals, or as monthly and short-term rentals. The consistent feature of the property is the gorgeous condition throughout and the serene downtown site. The sale includes furnishings and equipment, business name and Marketing/Advertising tools.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "Although Mount Dora is not exactly an animal friendly town a there are a few nice dog parks around. My presumption is that the a few dog owners don't clean up after their pets making it tough for everyone else and their dogs."
