Geneva Florida Homes for Sale

Originally known as Harney Cove for its proximity to Lake Harney, the unincorporated community of Geneva has experienced a parade of changes over the years.  Milling activity, citrus production, turpentine manufacturing, raising cattle, and commercial fishing have all been viable activities.  Before roads were constructed in this area, boat trips down the St. Johns River provided a major transportation route.  Newcomers to the Geneva area will appreciate the country atmosphere and panoramic natural beauty of a still-developing area.  Attractive homes and a strong community spirit combine with outstanding recreational amenities for a high quality of life.  Surrounding Geneva are more than 20 lush parks and 4,000 acres of nature preserves.  Sparkling lakes, rolling rivers, abundant wildlife, and the Central Florida Zoo combine with close proximity to cultural attractions and other urban advantages.  Other regional highlights include good schools, a county library system, major sporting events, the U.S. Soccer Federation's National Training Center, and the nation's largest inland sailing regatta are highlights of life in Geneva.
