Residents of a proposed Seminole County community will be able to strap on their water skis and cut across the water — without leaving the neighborhood. The community, known as Geneva Ski Lake, will feature 12 single-family residential lots on 113.59 acres near Geneva, according to plans filed with the county. The lots will range between 1.2-3.2 acres, much larger than the industry average. Reported Bizjournals.com.
