A promising description:

Welcome to a stunning and spacious property located in the serene and picturesque community of Ocklawaha, FL. This beautiful home boasts a remarkable curb appeal, thanks to its landscape, large front yard, and front porch

Would you dare to request a tour?

To be fair they do tell later in the description that an investor can just use the lot to park their mobile home.

Ocklawaha looks like someone either couldn't remember how to spell Oklahoma and gave up halfway through, or it's the "you can copy my homework but change it slightly so we don't get caught" spelling.

Like a lot of places in the US, it could be bastardized from local indigenous languages.

The word "ocklawaha" comes from the Seminole/Creek tribes who once settled along the river. There are at least seven possible definitions, including "muddy, crooked river" and "bad crossing."
