Johns Lake UVPUDRooted in history.
Growing toward the future.

Welcome to Johns Lake UVPUD, a thoughtfully cultivated community where legacy, agriculture, and stewardship intersect.

Johns Lake UVPUD Plan Set

Our Mission

Johns Lake UVPUD isn’t just a neighborhood; it’s a living legacy. For over a century, the McKinnon family has cultivated this land in Central Florida, blending agriculture, conservation, and community. What began as citrus groves and timberland will evolve into a thoughtfully planned destination where families can live, gather, and grow.

At Johns Lake UVPUD, you’ll find:

  • Expansive preserved open spaces and interconnected trail networks
  • Managed timberlands, preserving the land’s working history
  • Agritourism experiences, connecting neighbors and visitors to the land
  • Low density, traditional neighborhood design with limited oversized custom lakefront homesites with oak canopies
  • Traditional architecture inspired by timeless Florida design, with opportunities for oversized front porches
  • This is a place where past and future meet, under the old oak trees…where every sunrise and sunset over the lake reminds us that connection to nature, and each other creates community.
