About this home

A rare opportunity to own one acre with no deed restrictions and the ability to build up to five homes per acre under the Fruitville Initiative and opens up numerous opportunities for development. The potential for rezoning to MEC adds even more possibilities, perhaps for mixed-use developments. This property also offers a unique chance to experience a rural lifestyle while still being close to town amenities just steps away. With space for livestock and horses, it can truly become a homestead for families looking to escape urban living without being too far from conveniences. Plus, being just minutes away from Waterside and Lakewood Ranch enhances its appeal for those who enjoy outdoor activities and nature. Grab your golf cart or bike and enjoy the 2 mile ride. This can be assembled with 3 additional contiguous parcels for a total of 3.31 acres. (2190 Lakewood Ranch Blvd – PID 0214150008, 6440 Richardson Rd – PID 0214150006 and 6480 Richardson Rd. – PID 0214150010). The 3 contiguous properties are being sold as Vacant Land and the house structure will be sold at zero value. This is the highest and best use of land with PED zoning. Near shopping, restaurants, and plenty of progress.
