This location is a perfect lot to build your dream home on and/or great income investment, with abundance of wildlife. Nestled in the peaceful landscape of western Alachua County, this exceptional 12.7-acre parcel offers a compelling mix of natural beauty and long-term investment value. Ideally located between the lively communities of High Springs and Newberry, the property captures the essence of North Florida living—quiet, scenic, and convenient. A full stand of thriving 12-year-old Improved Slash Pine covers the land, creating a picturesque setting while generating reliable income through a pine straw contract. With an average quantity of roughly 350 bales an acre each year and an annual income of around $2,000, the property also qualifies for an agricultural exemption, further enhancing its financial appeal. Beyond its income-producing features, this parcel holds excellent potential as a future homesite. Majestic live oaks add character and charm, while a titled easement provides direct access to County Road 232, and a half mile from 27/41, making the property both accessible and attractive for those seeking a peaceful rural retreat. Located just five minutes from both Newberry and High Springs, residents can enjoy an impressive array of nearby amenities. Newberry features destinations such as the Easton Sports Complex, the Alachua County Ag and Equestrian Center, a variety of upscale dining options, Publix supermarket and a soon to be Wawa. High Springs offers its own appeal with antique shops, diverse restaurants, and a vibrant nightlife scene. Gainesville is less than 15 miles away, providing access to three major hospitals, extensive shopping, and the University of Florida. Just a short 20 minute drive to the University of Florida, Shand's Hospital, VA Hospital, I-75 and North Florida Hospital. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the close proximity to the Santa Fe River—only 10 minutes away—and numerous freshwater springs including Poe Springs and Ginnie Springs. Within a 20-mile radius are 10 County and State Parks, offering endless opportunities for fishing, swimming, tubing, hiking, and kayaking. What truly stands out about this parcel is its seamless balance of natural beauty, practicality, and possibility. With income-generating capabilities, convenient access to thriving nearby communities, abundant outdoor recreation, and the promise of a future homesite, this land is a rare and captivating gem in the heart of North Florida. Information can be obtained or confirmed by calling Alachua County Zoning. Call us for your personal tour!
