As far as the eye can see, Central Florida is about as flat as a pancake; that is until you venture to South Lake County and the rolling hills of Clermont, Florida. Also known as "Gem of the Hills", this highly residential community has a population of slightly over 30,000 and is just 22 miles west of downtown Orlando.
Clermont is also home to one of the first constructed landmarks in Florida, the Florida Citrus Tower. The bustling historic downtown district is full of quaint retail shops and charming restaurants and is still much as it was over 50 years ago. Downtown Clermont also hosts dozens of special events throughout the year including sidewalk art festivals, art and wine strolls, live music performances, and a weekly farmers market, just to name a few.
Picturesque lakes dot the rolling landscapes that afford many opportunities for boating, fishing, water skiing and much more. Also located in Clermont is the stunning Lake Louisa State Park on Lake Louisa, the largest in Clermont's Chain of Lakes. It offers 25 of hiking trails, campsites and log cabins that can be rented on a daily basis.
Wine lovers will enjoy the proximity to The Lakeridge Winery which rests on 127 acres of stunning rolling countryside and ranks as Florida's largest premium winery.
Education thrives in Clermont with over a dozen public schools as well as satellite campuses for the University of Central Florida and Lake-Sumter Community College.
