24734 TURKEY LAKE RD Howey In The Hills, FL 34737

Backups Accepted. This is a 10-acre parcel on an increasingly rare hillside with most of the amenities needed to build your dream home already present, including water, electric and sewage. This parcel is legally cut into two 5-acre building lots. At the buyers discretion, it can be kept as a single residence or developed into two separate homes sites with Florida homestead property tax exemptions.

As major residential growth is occurring from all directions in central Florida, this property is in one of the last rural areas that remains convenient to Orlando. A former citrus grove, it was landscaped with oak and pine trees in 1987 to create the private, serene environment that exists today. Trees were planted along the north side of the property to shelter from winter weather and create the 3 beautiful, fenced pastures in view below the home site. Keep horses, grow a garden, run a business, or just live in the privacy and quiet offered by this unique property.

The 10-acre parcel sits 3 miles from "downtown" Howey-in-the-Hills on a hillside facing east to take advantage of the spectacular sunrises. A peaceful retreat on an increasingly rare site just minutes to Florida Turnpike access. This one-of-a-kind property is high, dry and ready for your dream home! There is an RV site with hook-ups on a 35' x 45' cement slab that is perfect for a future building site. A 50 x 12 air conditioned warehouse/workshop is present for your tools/toys or hobby room. There is a 24' x 35' covered carport to keep boats, cars and equipment and two (12' x 25' and 12' x 10') storage sheds. A 12' x 15' enclosure houses a hot tub. The property already includes the basic amenities required to build up to two Florida homesteads, including underground electrical service to two power poles, a large (4-inch) well with irrigation system, new fencing with gates to create 3 pastures and privacy, and a septic tank system (approved for a 3 bedroom home).

Due to the outstanding road connections this is a must see for those wanting to build in a rural setting next door to Orlando or to escape the HOA rat-race of the Villages! It is only 45 min to the OIA airport and Disney. Don't hesitate, properties like this are selling quick!
