About Howey-in-the-Hills: A Historic Resort Town on Lake Harris

Howey-in-the-Hills traces its roots to 1916. Citrus baron William J. Howey purchased tens of thousands of acres in Lake County. Set out to build a citrus empire. Commissioning a golf course in 1917 that still exists today as El Campeon. One of the oldest golf courses in Florida. Howey and his wife built a 24-room Mediterranean Revival mansion. Now known as the Howey Mansion. Still stands near town and offers guided tours of its restored interior. After the 1929 stock market crash. A hard freeze ended Howey's citrus ambitions, the golf course. Surrounding property eventually became the Mission Inn Resort. Club, a Spanish Colonial Revival-style destination that remains one of the most recognized landmarks in Lake County.


The town itself retains much of its 1920s mission-style architecture. A small, walkable core, a Presbyterian community church built in 1949. Local traditions like a Founder's Day Citrus Festival that reflect its small-town character. Homes here range from restored historic properties near the town center to newer residences. Condominiums built around the resort's golf courses. Marina on Lake Harris, giving Howey-in-the-Hills a distinct blend of old Florida charm. Resort-community development within a very small footprint.

Where original board can't be saved, drywall replacementof the damaged section keeps the rest of the wall intact.
