Marion Lot Close to Lakes & Trails

Lot Description

This 0.76 acre wooded lot on NE 167th Street offers a rare combination of natural seclusion and flexible zoning in the Meadows subdivision of Citra. With a mix of mature trees and level terrain, the property provides both shade and buildable space, giving you options for a traditional home, manufactured housing, or a recreational retreat. Access is easy with a gravel road running to the property, and overhead electricity is available nearby. Because the land sits in the R-4 Mixed Residential District and is free from HOA restrictions, you will have more freedom in how you choose to use it while still being in a community setting.

The surrounding landscape is defined by lakes, forests, and agricultural heritage, making this lot ideal for those who want a lifestyle rooted in the outdoors. Public boat ramps at Orange and Lochloosa Lakes are minutes away, offering some of North Florida's best freshwater fishing, kayaking, and wildlife viewing opportunities. Indian Lake State Forest adds even more variety with miles of hiking and equestrian trails through pine flatwoods and wetlands. For everyday recreation, Wrigley Fields Park and the county's expansive park system provide playgrounds, open fields, and picnic areas just a short drive from the property.

Life in Citra blends small town charm with convenience. Known for its citrus groves and The Orange Shop, a long standing local landmark, the area carries a rural character with agritourism woven into daily life. Essential services are nearby with a gas station less than 10 minutes away and Reddick serving as the closest small town. Larger cities are also within easy reach. Ocala, just under half an hour away, offers shopping, dining, and cultural amenities. Gainesville is about 40 minutes from the property and is home to the University of Florida along with a wide range of healthcare and entertainment options.

Whether you are seeking a homesite, an investment property, or a getaway in Florida's lake and forest country, this parcel offers the best of all worlds. The wooded setting ensures privacy, the zoning provides flexibility, and the location connects you quickly to both recreation and community. With its balance of rural peace and accessible conveniences, this lot represents a smart opportunity in one of Marion County's most naturally beautiful regions.
