Lot Description
Endless Potential on a Peaceful Parcel in Ocala, Florida
Welcome to your future homesite in one of Florida's most sought-after regions-Ocala. This 0.33-Acre residential lot offers a rare chance to own land in a peaceful, well-located community with access to nature, outdoor recreation, and vibrant town life. Whether you're building a custom home, placing a modular residence, or simply securing a smart investment for the future, this parcel delivers on every front: location, flexibility, and affordability.
An Ideal Balance of Natural Beauty and Build-Readiness
The lot sits along a quiet, lightly traveled residential road and features flat, buildable terrain-reducing site prep costs and offering a clear path to construction. Much of the land is already cleared, with scattered vegetation and a few mature trees that provide privacy, shade, and aesthetic appeal. It's the kind of land that invites creativity and welcomes your ideas, whether you're envisioning a modern farmhouse, a cozy bungalow, or a timeless southern retreat.
Spacious Living Without the Sprawl
Though under half an acre, the 0.33-Acre size is incredibly functional. It gives you room for a sizable home, plus space to add a detached garage, workshop, raised garden beds, or an outdoor kitchen. You'll have room to breathe without taking on the maintenance of a full acre. Whether you want to entertain outdoors, plant fruit trees, or simply enjoy the peace of your own backyard, this parcel supports your lifestyle goals.
A Neighborhood That Offers Tranquility and Character
This lot is located in a quiet section of SW Ocala, surrounded by a mix of well-kept single-family homes, open lots, and natural woodland. The street is peaceful and residential, making it perfect for raising a family, retiring in comfort, or escaping the noise of urban life. You'll hear birds in the morning, crickets at night, and see more stars than streetlights-yet you're never too far from the essentials.
Zoned R1 - Flexibility Without Restrictions
The lot is zoned R1 Residential, which allows for single-family homes and some modular construction (contact Marion County for details). There is no active Hoa, so you won't be burdened with fees, architectural restrictions, or approval committees. You're free to build in your own style, on your own schedule, without unnecessary red tape or interference. This zoning flexibility makes it a great option for both DIY builders and traditional homebuyers.
Easy Access With Year-Round Road Frontage
Access to the property is via SW 3rd Lane, a publicly maintained road with easy, year-round use. You won't need a 4x4 or worry about seasonal access issues. The lot is positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac-style pocket, creating added privacy while still being just minutes from Us-41 and Sr-40, two of the region's main corridors. From here, you can be in downtown Ocala, Rainbow Springs, or Dunnellon in no time.
Ocala: A City of Horses, Springs, and Southern Charm
Known as the Horse Capital of the World, Ocala offers a rare lifestyle blend of rural charm and modern comfort. The area is rich with rolling pastures, equestrian centers, nature trails, and freshwater springs. Whether you enjoy horseback riding, hiking, kayaking, or simply taking in the views, you'll find endless ways to enjoy the great outdoors. Yet the city also has its share of shopping centers, schools, hospitals, restaurants, and cultural venues-providing everything you need within a short drive.
Natural Attractions Right Around the Corner
In addition to equestrian events and trails, Ocala is home to Silver Springs State Park, one of Florida's oldest and most beautiful natural attractions. Go kayaking on crystal-clear water, take a glass-bottom boat tour, or hike through lush forest trails. Just to the west, Rainbow Springs State Park offers one of the best swimming and tubing experiences in the state. Living here means living near nature-and never running out of weekend adventure options.
Build at Your Own Pace-No Timeline, No Pressure
There's no building deadline on this property. You can buy now, hold for the future, or begin construction immediately. Whether you're planning to retire in a few years or want to build a vacation home for your family, this land gives you the freedom to move at your own speed. There's no risk of losing your investment due to inactivity or timeline violations.
Low Carrying Costs, High Value
One of the most appealing aspects of this lot is how affordable it is to own and hold. With no HOA dues and low annual property taxes, your ongoing expenses are minimal. This makes it a perfect long-term investment for those who want to hedge against inflation or simply diversify their assets. You won't be locked into high maintenance costs or rising monthly fees. Just land-real, tangible, usable land.
Strategically Located for Regional Travel
From your future homesite, you're less than 20 minutes from I-75, the major highway connecting central Florida to the rest of the state. That puts Orlando and Tampa both under two hours away, and Gainesville within 35 minutes. If you travel frequently, Ocala International Airport is just 25 minutes away, and Gainesville Regional Airport is under an hour for longer trips. Whether for work, family visits, or quick getaways, you're well positioned to stay connected without living in the noise.
A Market on the Rise
Ocala has been growing rapidly thanks to its combination of affordability, natural beauty, and economic opportunity. New infrastructure, businesses, and residential developments are making this a smart place to invest-especially for those who buy in early. As demand for affordable land and flexible living spaces increases, properties like this are becoming harder to find at these prices.
Perfect for First-Time Builders, Retirees, or Relocators
Whether you're starting fresh, scaling down, or simply escaping high-density urban life, this property offers a clean slate. Its manageable size, zoning flexibility, and easy access make it perfect for retirees looking to build something simple, new families wanting space to grow, or remote workers who want more land and fewer neighbors.
A Great Fit for Gardening, Hobbies, or Pets
Beyond just building, this lot gives you space for all the extras that enhance your lifestyle. Create a butterfly garden, install a backyard gazebo, build a greenhouse, raise chickens, or finally set up that tool shed or craft studio you've always wanted. The land is yours to shape into the lifestyle that fits you best.
Safe, Peaceful, and Community-Oriented
The surrounding neighborhood is quiet, with well-kept homes and a safe, community feel. You'll find friendly neighbors, minimal traffic, and that rare mix of country peace and suburban comfort. It's an ideal place to raise children, enjoy retirement, or just unwind away from the crowds.
Ownership Made Easy-With Owner Financing Available
We offer flexible owner financing with no credit check, making it easier than ever to secure land. A small down payment locks in your purchase, and our monthly payment plans are affordable, transparent, and tailored to your budget. You can pay off early anytime with no penalties.
