Citrus County

Citrus County Florida - Florida as it was meant to be.

At the heart of West Central Florida's Nature Coast you will find Citrus County and a Florida you never dreamed still existed. Located 70

miles north of Tampa, 60 miles northwest of Orlando, and just south of Ocala, Citrus County is often called "Mother Nature's Theme

Park", and for good reason. Here in this lush landscape of gently rolling hills, sparkling lakes and rivers, stately century old moss-laden

oaks and majestic pines and palm trees, is where man and nature live and play in harmony.

Bordered by water on three sides, Citrus County is home to seven Florida Outstanding Water bodies, boasting 106 miles of spring-fed

rivers, 19,111 acres of lakes, crystal clear springs, and a 52 mile stretch of the Gulf coast as its playground. No matter what water activity

you seek, from fantastic fresh or salt water fishing, boating, and kayaking, to swimming, diving or snorkeling with manatees and dolphins,

or just laying on a sandy beach soaking up the Florida sunshine, Citrus County has the perfect location for you.

While Citrus County has continued to go through record growth and home and land appreciation and commercial development, so pristine

is much of the county that more than 152,000 acres out of Citrus County's 683 square miles have been acquired through local, state and

federal funds and set aside to protect it from excessive development to preserve wildlife.

This provides for a myriad of outdoor activities from hiking and jogging, to bird watching, horseback riding, camping and more. The cities,

towns and communities within Citrus County have set aside greenbelt areas, preserves, parks, and recreational areas offering tennis,

horseshoes, skateboarding, and a host of activities. Extensive clubs, civic groups and religious organizations offer even more recreational

opportunities, both indoors and out, for seniors and families alike.

For the golfer, Citrus County is home to nearly a dozen golf courses, including the nationally acclaimed Black Diamond Ranch and El

Diablo golf and country clubs. For the casual as well as the serious golfer, the golf courses of Citrus County offer a variety of challenging

designs and elevations in breathtakingly beautiful and natural settings that can be enjoyed year round, as Citrus County enjoys an average

temperature of 72 degrees.

Rounding out this paradise, are two modern Hospitals; state-of-the-art medical, diagnostic, assisted living and nursing facilities; modern

shopping malls and quaint historic shoppe's; museums, theatres and cultural groups, art leagues, county library system, community centers

and extensive top-rate educational facilities including community college, technical institute, gifted and special needs schools and

programs.

Citrus County, and its communities such as Inverness, Lecanto, Citrus Springs, Beverly Hills, Pine Ridge, Crystal River, Floral City,

Hernando, and Sugarmill Woods, provides the perfect location for your new residential home or business or commercial construction

project and Lytton Enterprises can provide the perfect construction team.
