Lot Description
Spacious Double Lot with Power in Interlachen's Lake District
Union Ave : Interlachen, FL 32148
Putnam County, Florida
0.4 Acres (Double Lot)
Welcome to your opportunity to own a spacious 0.4-Acre double lot in Interlachen, Florida-where "between the lakes" lifestyle meets exceptional value and building flexibility. This property stands out with significantly more space than typical single lots, existing power infrastructure on-site, and positioning in one of Putnam County's most naturally beautiful and affordably priced lake communities.
Located on Union Ave in the heart of Interlachen, this double residential lot provides nearly twice the land of standard quarter-acre parcels, opening up possibilities that smaller lots cannot accommodate. Imagine owning 0.4 acres where you can build a larger home with room for workshops or detached garages, create extensive gardens and outdoor living spaces, maintain generous privacy buffers from neighbors, develop a homestead with chickens and productive gardens, or position a home with plenty of yard space for families, pets, and activities.
At 0.4 acres (approximately 17,424 square feet), this double lot measures approximately 100 feet wide by 175 feet deep-providing exceptional flexibility for home placement, landscaping, and property enjoyment. This generous size offers tremendous advantages: significantly more space than typical subdivision lots for privacy and activities, ability to build larger homes (up to 2,000+ square feet) without feeling cramped, room for detached garages, workshops, or storage buildings, extensive yard space for gardens, play areas, or entertaining, natural privacy buffers reducing noise and visual intrusion from neighbors, and future flexibility if you want to add outbuildings or expand.
A major advantage of this property is the existing power pole located directly on the property. This existing infrastructure can potentially save $2,000-$5,000+ in utility connection costs compared to properties requiring line extensions from distant street connections. Electrical hookup becomes significantly simpler and more affordable when infrastructure is already in place.
The terrain is typical of Putnam County-relatively level with sandy soils that drain well, making foundation work, septic installation, and landscaping straightforward. Some clearing will be needed to prepare your building site, but the generous lot size means you can choose exactly where to position your home for optimal sun exposure, breezes, privacy, and views while leaving natural vegetation for shade and habitat.
The property is zoned R-2 Residential, allowing site-built homes, modular homes, and potentially other residential structures per Putnam County regulations. This zoning provides flexibility in construction approach-whether you want traditional stick-built construction, factory-built modular homes for efficiency and cost savings, or custom designs that maximize the generous lot size.
Best of all, there's no Hoa-No monthly fees eating into your budget, no restrictive covenants dictating paint colors or landscaping, no architectural review committees slowing down your building process. This is your land, and you have complete freedom to develop it as you envision within Putnam County's reasonable building codes. The absence of HOA restrictions and the generous lot size create opportunities impossible in most modern subdivisions.
Whether you're a first-time homebuyer seeking affordable land with room to spread out, outdoor enthusiasts wanting space for hobbies and recreation, retirees looking for affordable Florida living with a real yard and privacy, families needing room for children and pets to enjoy outdoor activities, homesteaders seeking space for gardens, chickens, and self-sufficient living, or investors recognizing the value of larger lots in an appreciating market, this property delivers exceptional value for its size and amenities.
The location in Interlachen means you're surrounded by beautiful fishing lakes-Lake Alto, Lake Grandin, Blue Pond, and numerous others providing year-round outdoor recreation. The town's small size (around 1,400 residents) ensures peace and quiet, while strategic positioning places you within 25 minutes of Palatka's services, 35-40 minutes from Gainesville's comprehensive amenities and University of Florida, and about an hour from Jacksonville's airport and urban attractions.

Location And Setting Overview - Interlachen Lake Country
Your Generous Homesite "Between the Lakes": This 0.4-Acre double lot sits on Union Ave in Interlachen-a small town whose German name translates to "between the lakes." The name perfectly describes the geography and lifestyle: you're surrounded by beautiful freshwater lakes providing year-round fishing, kayaking, and water-oriented recreation.
Founded in the 1880S by German settlers drawn to the area's natural beauty and rolling, lake-dotted terrain reminiscent of their homeland, Interlachen maintains a quiet, friendly character with a strong sense of community. While small (population around 1,400), the town provides essential services and sits strategically positioned between Palatka to the east and Gainesville to the west, giving residents access to larger town amenities while maintaining rural peace.
Your double lot on Union Ave provides exceptional advantages. At 0.4 acres, you have nearly twice the space of typical quarter-acre lots found in most subdivisions. This extra room translates to tangible benefits: build a larger home without overwhelming the lot, add detached garages or workshops impossible on smaller parcels, create extensive gardens and outdoor living spaces, maintain privacy with natural vegetation buffers, have room for children and pets to truly play and explore, and enjoy flexibility for future additions or expansions.
The power pole already located on your property is a significant advantage, potentially saving thousands in utility connection costs and simplifying the building process. Combined with the generous lot size, this infrastructure makes your property exceptionally attractive for builders and future buyers.
Putnam County - Florida's Affordable Gem: Putnam County remains one of Florida's most affordable counties while offering exceptional quality of life for those prioritizing natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and small-town character over urban density and resort amenities. The county stretches along the scenic St. Johns River and encompasses numerous lakes, springs, and natural areas.
Cost of living in Putnam County is significantly below Florida's average. Housing costs, property taxes, and general expenses are far lower than coastal areas or major metropolitan regions. This affordability attracts retirees on fixed incomes, working families seeking to own substantial land without crushing mortgages, remote workers choosing quality of life over urban proximity, and outdoor enthusiasts prioritizing lake access and recreation over shopping and entertainment complexes.
The county's economy centers on agriculture, forestry, small businesses, and services, maintaining a stable if not explosive economic base. This creates a steady, low-stress environment where life moves at a more relaxed pace-exactly what many people seek when leaving urban areas or expensive coastal regions.
Strategic Positioning - Rural Living, Urban Access: Interlachen's location provides ideal balance between rural peace and access to urban services:
Palatka (approximately 14-16 miles east, 25-30 minutes): Putnam County's seat offers grocery stores (Walmart, Winn-Dixie, Save-A-Lot), hardware stores and building supplies, medical clinics and Putnam Community Medical Center, restaurants and casual dining, government offices and county services, riverfront parks and boat ramps on the St. Johns River, and small-town shopping and services.
Gainesville (approximately 28-32 miles west, 35-40 minutes): Home to the University of Florida (Go Gators.), Gainesville provides Shands Hospital-one of the Southeast's premier medical centers, Oaks Mall and comprehensive shopping, diverse dining from international cuisine to Southern comfort food, museums, galleries, and cultural attractions, SEC sporting events and college-town atmosphere, extensive employment opportunities, and big-city amenities while maintaining manageable size.
Jacksonville (approximately 60-65 miles north, 70-80 minutes): Florida's largest city by land area offers Jacksonville International Airport with domestic and international flights, professional sports (Jaguars NFL football, Jumbo Shrimp baseball), extensive shopping, dining, and entertainment, major medical centers and specialists, and diverse employment opportunities across multiple sectors.
St. Augustine (approximately 50-55 miles northeast, 60-70 minutes): America's oldest city provides historic downtown with Castillo de San Marcos, museums, and attractions, beautiful Atlantic coast beaches, excellent dining and tourist amenities, and unique cultural experiences.
Atlantic Coast Beaches (approximately 70-75 miles northeast, 80-90 minutes): Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Ponte Vedra Beach offer beautiful sandy beaches, beach dining and entertainment, surfing and water sports, and weekend escape opportunities.
This positioning means you enjoy ultra-affordable rural living on a generous double lot surrounded by fishing lakes, yet remain within 30-40 minutes of Gainesville's comprehensive services and within reasonable driving distance of Jacksonville's airport, beaches, and urban employment centers.
Climate and Year-Round Outdoor Living: Interlachen sits in North Florida's humid subtropical climate-hot, humid summers and mild winters perfect for year-round outdoor activities and projects. Summer (June-September) brings warm weather with afternoon thunderstorms that cool things down, keep lakes full, and maintain lush vegetation. These storms typically arrive predictably in late afternoon, providing natural irrigation for gardens and cooling relief from midday heat.
Winter (December-February) is delightful with daytime highs typically in the upper 60s to mid-70s and nighttime lows in the 40s to low 50s. Hard freezes are occasional but not common, and snow is virtually unknown. Winter provides perfect weather for outdoor construction, property work, hiking, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors without oppressive heat.
Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) offer particularly pleasant conditions with comfortable temperatures, moderate humidity, and beautiful weather for outdoor living and recreation. Spring brings blooming azaleas, dogwoods, and wildflowers. Fall offers comfortable temperatures ideal for fishing as waters cool and bass feed heavily.
The region receives approximately 52 inches of annual rainfall, mostly during summer months, providing natural irrigation for gardens and keeping landscapes green without extensive watering systems. You'll enjoy about 220 sunny days per year-plenty of Florida sunshine for outdoor activities, property projects, and potentially solar power systems.
The Interlachen Lake Lifestyle: Interlachen attracts budget-conscious retirees seeking affordable Florida living near excellent fishing without expensive resort community fees or restrictions, fishing enthusiasts who want daily access to productive lakes, working families seeking substantial land and homes at prices allowing financial security rather than mortgage stress, homesteaders and self-sufficient living enthusiasts who want space for gardens, chickens, and productive activities, remote workers and telecommuters who can live anywhere and choose natural beauty and affordability over urban stress, investors recognizing exceptional value in underpriced properties with growth potential, and outdoor enthusiasts prioritizing lake access, kayaking, and nature over urban entertainment.
Living in Interlachen means your recreational focus centers on fishing local lakes, kayaking quiet waters at sunrise or sunset, enjoying nature and wildlife, working on property projects, connecting with neighbors who share similar values, and living simply and affordably in a peaceful rural setting. This isn't a place for people seeking nightlife, extensive shopping, or urban energy-it's for those who find satisfaction in simpler pleasures and outdoor living.
The absence of HOAs and the generous 0.4-Acre lot size provide freedom impossible in modern subdivisions. You can truly make this property yours-building exactly what you want, landscaping as you prefer, adding outbuildings if desired, and living without restrictions or monthly fees eating into your budget.
Building Your Dream Home - Options for Larger Homes
Your generous 0.4-Acre double lot opens up building possibilities unavailable on smaller parcels. You have room for larger homes, multiple outbuildings, extensive outdoor living areas, and genuine privacy-advantages that command premium prices in most markets but come standard with your double lot.
Manufactured Homes - Affordable and Spacious ($40,000-$105,000 total): Modern manufactured homes provide the quickest, most affordable path to homeownership. Your large lot can accommodate double-wide or even triple-wide models that would overwhelm smaller lots. Note that your R-2 zoning specifies site-built or modular homes, so verify current Putnam County regulations regarding manufactured homes, as requirements may vary.
Large double-wide models (1,500-1,800 square feet, 3-4 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms) cost $55,000-$85,000 delivered and set up. Triple-wide models (2,000-2,400 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms) cost $75,000-$105,000, providing spacious family living impossible on smaller lots.
Installation costs run $10,000-$18,000 including site preparation, foundation, setup, tie-downs, skirting, and entry structures. Add $3,500-$6,000 for well, $5,500-$8,500 for septic (larger systems for bigger homes), and minimal costs for electric connection to your existing power pole. Total move-in cost: approximately $75,000-$135,000 for spacious, complete homes.
Modular Homes - Quality and Efficiency ($95,000-$195,000 total): Modular homes definitely fit your R-2 zoning and your large lot accommodates substantial models. Built in climate-controlled factories to Florida Building Code, then assembled on permanent foundations. Your 0.4 acres allows homes from 1,200-2,200+ square feet without overwhelming the property.
A quality modular home (1,500-2,000 square feet, 3-4 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms) costs $85,000-$145,000 for the structure, plus $18,000-$30,000 for site work, foundation, and assembly. Including utilities, total investment runs $110,000-$190,000 for substantial, quality homes with room to spare on your lot.
Modular homes are considered real property, appreciate like site-built homes, and construction timeline is typically 4-6 months from order to move-in. The factory construction means consistent quality, weather-independent building, and efficient use of materials.
Site-Built Homes - Traditional Construction ($110,000-$280,000+ total): For traditional stick-built construction, your 0.4 acres accommodates larger homes comfortably. You can build 1,200-2,200+ square foot homes that would feel cramped on quarter-acre lots but have perfect proportions on your double lot.
A comfortable site-built home (1,400-1,800 square feet, 3-4 bedrooms, 2-3 bathrooms) costs approximately $115-$150 per square foot including all construction, site work, and utilities. Total investment: roughly $175,000-$280,000 for quality family homes with modern amenities.
Your larger lot size also allows for:
- Detached Garages or Workshops: Build separate structures for vehicles, hobbies, or storage without competing with home footprint
- Outdoor Living Spaces: Covered patios, screened porches, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and entertainment areas
- Storage Buildings: Tool sheds, garden sheds, or storage buildings for equipment and seasonal items
- Privacy Landscaping: Natural vegetation buffers, privacy fences, or ornamental plantings
- Gardens and Productive Space: Extensive vegetable gardens, fruit trees, herb gardens, or small-scale farming
Building Timeline: From land purchase to move-in:
- Modular homes: 4-6 months
- Site-built homes: 8-14 months depending on size and complexity
Utilities Installation:
Well System ($3,500-$6,000): In Interlachen, wells typically drill 100-200 feet to reach the prolific Floridan Aquifer. Complete systems include drilling, casing, submersible pump, pressure tank, and basic treatment if needed. You'll have unlimited fresh water with no monthly bills.
For larger homes or if you plan extensive irrigation, consider sizing your well system appropriately. Discuss household size and water needs with your well contractor to ensure adequate capacity.
Septic System ($5,500-$8,500): Larger homes require larger septic systems. For 3-4 bedroom homes, expect 1,250-1,500 gallon tanks and appropriately sized drain fields. Your generous lot provides ample space for drain field placement with room for future expansion if needed.
Florida's sandy soils are ideal for conventional septic systems. Standard installation includes tank, drain field, distribution boxes, and Florida Department of Health permitting. Properly maintained systems last 25-35+ years with pumping needed every 3-5 years ($300-$400).
Electric Connection ($500-$1,500): With a power pole already on your property, connection costs are minimal-just service connection fees, meter base installation, and wire run from pole to your home's electrical panel. This existing infrastructure potentially saves $2,000-$5,000+ compared to properties requiring line extensions.
Monthly electric bills for larger homes (1,500-2,000 square feet) typically run $130-$250 depending on insulation quality, Hvac efficiency, and usage patterns.
Propane ($0 initial, $500-$1,400 annually): Propane companies provide tanks free; you pay only for gas used. Larger homes using propane for cooking, hot water, and possibly backup heating might use $500-$1,400 annually.
Internet: Satellite internet (Starlink at $120/Month) provides high-speed service suitable for streaming, remote work, and online gaming. Cellular-based and fixed wireless options are also available throughout Putnam County.
The Interlachen Fishing and Lake Lifestyle
Living in Interlachen means having some of Florida's best freshwater fishing literally minutes away. Your double lot provides space for boat or kayak storage, fish cleaning stations, and outdoor areas for maintaining fishing equipment-amenities difficult or impossible on smaller lots.
Outstanding Lakes Nearby: Interlachen is surrounded by excellent fishing waters that define the local lifestyle:
Lake Alto: One of the closest lakes to Interlachen, Lake Alto provides good year-round fishing for largemouth bass (the most sought-after freshwater game fish in Florida), bluegill and shellcracker (excellent panfish for eating), black crappie (speckled perch locally), and channel catfish (great for night fishing). The lake features cypress-lined shores creating habitat and structure, quiet coves perfect for kayak fishing or shore fishing, and public access allowing fishing without owning waterfront property.
Lake Grandin: Another nearby favorite, Lake Grandin offers excellent bass fishing with fish ranging from 1-8+ pounds, abundant panfish populations providing action when bass aren't biting, good water clarity allowing sight fishing in some areas, diverse structure including vegetation, deeper holes, and points, and scenic beauty perfect for peaceful mornings on the water.
Blue Pond: Despite its name suggesting a small water body, this sizable lake provides good fishing opportunities, less fishing pressure than more famous lakes, peaceful paddling opportunities, and unique blue-tinted water in certain lighting conditions creating beautiful scenery.
Additional Lakes: Numerous other lakes and ponds within 10-20 minute drives provide variety for anglers who enjoy exploring different waters and adapting tactics to varying conditions. Many smaller lakes receive light fishing pressure, offering excellent opportunities for those willing to venture beyond the most popular waters.
Year-Round Fishing Opportunities: North Florida's mild climate allows productive fishing every month of the year, with each season bringing different patterns and opportunities:
Spring (March-May): Excellent bass fishing as water warms and fish move shallow to spawn. Bedding bass provide sight-fishing opportunities. Bluegill and shellcracker also spawn, providing excellent panfishing. This is many anglers' favorite season.
Summer (June-August): Early morning and evening fishing when temperatures moderate. Bass feed actively during cooler periods. Focus on deeper water and shaded areas during midday heat. Catfish provide excellent night fishing action.
Fall (September-November): Outstanding fishing as waters cool and bass feed heavily preparing for winter. Some anglers consider fall the best season for consistent bass action. Comfortable temperatures make all-day fishing pleasant.
Winter (December-February): Productive fishing with proper techniques. Target deeper water and slower presentations. Mild Florida winters mean fishing remains possible and comfortable compared to northern states where lakes freeze solid.
Fishing Methods and Boat Storage: The lakes accommodate all fishing styles: shore fishing from accessible banks, kayak or canoe fishing for quiet approach and budget-friendly access, small boat fishing (bass boats, jon boats, or aluminum fishing boats), and fly fishing for those preferring this elegant method. Your 0.4-Acre lot provides ample space for storing boats, kayaks, or canoes-a major advantage over smaller lots where storage becomes problematic. You can build boat sheds, keep kayaks on racks, or park trailers without overwhelming your property.
Beyond Fishing - Complete Lake Lifestyle: While fishing dominates, the lakes provide additional recreation: peaceful kayaking or canoeing for exercise and nature viewing, birdwatching as lakes attract herons, egrets, ospreys, bald eagles, and waterfowl, nature photography of scenic lake views, wildlife, and beautiful Florida landscapes, swimming at designated areas during warm months, and simply relaxing by the water enjoying Florida's natural beauty.
Ravine Gardens State Park (in nearby Palatka, approximately 25 minutes): Beautiful formal gardens set in natural ravine featuring azaleas, ornamental plants, suspension bridges, and scenic trails provide lovely day trip opportunities, especially during spring azalea blooms.
Rice Creek Conservation Area (near Palatka): Offers additional paddling, fishing, and hiking opportunities for those wanting to explore beyond the immediate Interlachen lakes.
Why This Double Lot Represents Exceptional Value
Size Advantage: At 0.4 acres, this property provides nearly double the space of typical quarter-acre lots. This size difference translates to real, tangible benefits: room for larger homes without cramped feel, space for detached garages or workshops, extensive yards for families, pets, or hobbies, genuine privacy from neighbors, and flexibility for future additions or expansions.
In most markets, lots this size command premium prices. In Interlachen, affordability means you get exceptional space at prices unimaginable in coastal or metropolitan areas.
Existing Infrastructure: The power pole on your property potentially saves $2,000-$5,000+ in utility connection costs. This infrastructure in place simplifies building and reduces upfront costs-a significant advantage for budget-conscious builders.
Affordable Entry Point: At $18,999 cash or just $500 down with financing, owning 0.4 acres of Florida land is exceptionally affordable. The monthly payment of $399 is less than most car payments or apartment parking fees in urban areas-except this builds equity in real estate you own.
Ultra-Low Carrying Costs: Annual taxes of just $134.05 (about $11.17/Month) mean holding costs are minimal. Even if not building immediately, carrying this property costs virtually nothing while it appreciates.
No HOA Restrictions: Freedom from HOA fees and restrictive covenants means you can develop this property exactly as you envision. Build the home you want, add outbuildings as needed, landscape to your preferences, and live without monthly fees or architectural committees.
Lake Region Location: Proximity to excellent fishing lakes provides lifestyle value that's priceless for outdoor enthusiasts. Properties near quality fishing waters typically appreciate better than landlocked areas as recreational real estate remains in demand.
Florida Tax Advantages: Florida's lack of state income tax saves $2,000-$15,000+ annually for many households compared to high-tax states-savings that can easily cover your land payment with money left over. Additionally, Florida's homestead exemption removes up to $50,000 from assessed value once you build and occupy, potentially saving $750-$1,250+ annually in property taxes.
Appreciation Potential: While Putnam County has appreciated more slowly than some Florida regions, several factors support future appreciation: Gainesville's steady growth and expansion, Jacksonville's regional influence, increasing interest in affordable rural Florida as coastal areas price out middle-class buyers, and limited supply of larger, well-positioned lots like yours.
Land purchased today for under $19,000 could reasonably appreciate to $28,000-$40,000+ over 5-10 years as regional growth gradually reaches more affordable areas.
Rental Potential: Putnam County has steady demand for affordable rental housing. Once you build a 3-bedroom home, it could rent for $1,100-$1,600+ monthly depending on condition and amenities, providing investment income or offsetting ownership costs.
Perfect for Multiple Buyer Types: This property appeals across demographics: families needing space for children and activities, retirees wanting privacy and room for hobbies or gardens, fishing enthusiasts wanting space for boat storage and fish cleaning, homesteaders seeking space for gardens, chickens, and self-sufficient activities, remote workers wanting home offices separate from living areas, and investors recognizing value in larger lots at affordable prices.
