The home itself has nearly 1,500 square feet and a layout with a ton of potential. There are multiple living spaces, generously sized bedrooms, and several additional areas that could be reworked depending on what you need. The house needs updating, but there is a LOT here to work with. This isn’t a situation where you’re trying to squeeze more function out of a small footprint. You already have the space.

There’s room for the RV, boat, trailers, toys, a workshop, garden, chickens, or simply a backyard where you can spread out without staring directly into someone else’s. The mature oaks and Florida landscape give the property character you simply cannot recreate overnight, while the pond tucked toward the back adds another layer of privacy and makes the acreage feel even larger. This is not a cookie-cutter house on a postage-stamp lot, and it isn’t trying to be. It’s an opportunity to take a home with good bones, a metal roof, beautiful land, and NO HOA, and turn it into something that would be incredibly difficult to duplicate today. *some images have been tidied up to allow you to see the home's real potential.
