Description

A practical land opportunity in Marion County with flexible residential options and direct road access. Located outside city limits, the parcel provides privacy while still being within reach of essential services, grocery options, fuel, medical care, recreation, and larger towns. The area is well-known for its central position in the state, offering efficient travel routes in all directions.

Whether building now or preparing for long-term use, the property’s dimensions and zoning create a straightforward layout for development. With R-4 Mixed Residential zoning, owners have multiple build paths that include single family homes, two family homes, manufactured homes, and approved residential structures.

The land is accessed directly from NE 164th Lane, a county-maintained dirt road. Well and septic will be required, and power is nearby (from Duke Energy or Ocala Electric Utility, buyer to verify connectivity). RV use as a residence is allowed temporarily during active construction, and both single and double wide manufactured homes are permitted according to Marion County’s R-4 guidelines.

With Gainesville only 38 minutes away and the parcel located nearly equal distances to Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa, this location places owners near major Florida hubs while still maintaining the pace of rural northern Marion County.
