About this home

Rare large-tract development opportunity consisting of 37± acres of unimproved land located just off I-75 at Exit 404 in the fast-growing Alachua market. Zoned Business Highway, this site offers excellent flexibility for a wide range of commercial and mixed-use development concepts, supported by strong regional traffic counts and convenient interstate access. The property benefits from high visibility and accessibility due to its proximity to I-75, making it well-suited for highway-oriented commercial uses, destination retail, service-based businesses, hospitality, or employment-driven development.

Situated near major demand drivers including the University of Florida, Shands Hospital, and popular eco-tourism attractions, the area continues to experience residential and commercial growth, increasing the site’s long-term value and development viability.
