This property features flat, open terrain with natural vegetation, making it easy to plan for construction or development.

Utilities in the area are readily accessible. Water would require the installation of a private well, while wastewater management would be handled by a septic system.

This simple setup provides the convenience of modern amenities while allowing you to remain self-sufficient and independent.
Interlachen Lakes Estates is one of Putnam County's most sought-after communities for those seeking peaceful living surrounded by Florida's natural beauty. The neighborhood's scattered lakes, mature trees, and wide-open spaces create an inviting and calming environment. Yet, it's only minutes away from the town of Interlachen, where you'll find local shops, restaurants, and essential services. Larger cities like Palatka, Gainesville, and Keystone Heights are within easy driving distance, offering access to major shopping centers, hospitals, and entertainment.
The location also provides easy connectivity to several major highways, including Us-17, Us-301, Sr-19, and Sr-20, making regional travel simple and convenient. The area is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with plenty of recreation nearby. Spend weekends exploring Silver Springs State Park or Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park, both known for their natural beauty and hiking trails. The Canyons Zip Line and Adventure Park offers an adrenaline-filled experience, while Kanapaha Botanical Gardens and Depot Park provide peaceful spaces to unwind and enjoy Florida's vibrant greenery.
Flooding is rarely a concern here, as the lot lies in Flood Zone X, which is classified as an area of minimal flood risk. Annual property taxes are just $87.91, keeping your carrying costs low. With no HOA fees, this property provides total freedom to use the land as you see fit, whether for building now, camping occasionally, or holding it as a long-term investment for future development.
For those ready to build, the county's process typically allows a timeline of 12 to 18 months for permitting and construction. Temporary camping and RV use are allowed under certain conditions, particularly during land clearing or while a home is being built, provided that you obtain a Temporary Use Permit. The flexibility of this zoning makes the lot suitable not just for building, but also for short-term enjoyment and recreation in the meantime.
Affordability and flexibility are what make this property truly special. You can own this 0.22-Acre lot for a cash price of $10,900, or take advantage of easy owner financing with just $100 down, a $199 documentation fee, and low monthly payments of $199 for 72 months.
