About this home

12 +/- Acres in One of Manatee County's Fastest-Growing Corridors Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find. This nearly 12-acre parcel offers the rare combination of space, privacy, and a prime location in one of the fastest-growing areas of northern Manatee County. Located just east of the rapidly developing Buckeye Road and US-301 corridor, this property is surrounded by the momentum that continues to reshape Parrish and Palmetto. New residential communities, shopping, restaurants, healthcare facilities, schools, and major infrastructure projects have transformed the area into one of Florida's most desirable places to live and invest. Despite being just minutes from modern conveniences, the property still offers the peaceful country setting that many buyers are searching for. Whether your vision includes building a private estate, creating a family compound, establishing an equestrian property, or securing land as a long-term investment, this property offers exceptional flexibility. Electricity is nearby, and the location provides convenient access to I-75, US-301, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Gulf beaches, and multiple airports. As development continues to move east from the Buckeye Road corridor, large acreage parcels like this are becoming increasingly scarce. Secure your piece of Manatee County's future while enjoying the privacy and freedom that only acreage can provide. Schedule your private tour today and experience the possibilities for yourself.
