Priced at $650,000, this 9-acre corner parcel offers a rare chance to secure a key position in Sumter County’s future. Located just about 3 miles from I-75 and roughly 6 miles from the Florida Turnpike, this parcel offers unbeatable access in the heart of Sumter County. The property features a large single-family home offering rental potential after a full rehab, and five grandfathered one-bedroom efficiencies also ripe for refurbishment. Three large storage structures add creative potential. With city water and sewer running along Hwy 301, infrastructure is set, and the gentle eastern slope is perfect for retention. With massive investments flowing into nearby industrial parks like Monarch Ranch, Rick Scott, and Marlene O’Toole, this property is primed to serve the influx of jobs and businesses coming to the area. Developers can capitalize on the demand for services, retail, and even residential uses allowed under Bushnell’s General Commercial. Proximity to The Villages’ southward expansion, and Bushnell’s business-friendly environment, make this a pivotal piece for any forward-thinking investor. Whether you land bank or break ground, this parcel is your gateway to the next chapter of this dynamic mixed-use corridor. Please note that while showings of the land and single-family home can be easily arranged, any interior showings of the efficiencies require a minimum of 72 hours notice. This is a prime piece of land positioned right in the path of growth—let’s talk today about how this property can align with your next development project.
