UMATILLA, FL 32784 15401 CO RD 450

15401 County Road 450 is a slice of natural paradise with nearly infinite future possibilities. Of the 9.46 total acres, 5.86 acres are ‘Zone X’ dry land, while 3.60 acres are part of a larger wooded wetlands. The wetlands begin at the tree line to the north (back) of the property. This green space offers excellent privacy at the rear of the property and including a tranquil pond. Previous owners had planned to build a home in 2015 before their plans changed. They constructed a 40′ x 60′ red-iron metal building on the Western end of the property to use for their business, accessible easily by a gate on LeGrande St that enters into a gravel parking area. A 12 x 15 insulated office (drywall interior, plywood facing warehouse) is constructed in the building, plus a 12kBTU minisplit AC installed in 2024 to handle office heating and cooling. The remainder of the building is unfinished with a concrete slab floor. 14′ eaves, clear span construction, and three 10′ tall roll up doors (3rd door not pictured, faces bathroom building). Near the metal building is a small building with a full bathroom (including shower), plus a utility room with water heater and washer/dryer connections. Power is run underground from the street frontage to the backside of the building, no overhead power lines enter the property! The building has 200amp service, while the drop from the pole to the meter was intentionally oversized in order to adequately service a future 200a house without the need for a new primary utility connection. The well was drilled new in 2015 with water run to the building as well as to various hose spigots scattered around the property. There’s a gravel RV pad approximately 12’x60′ extending from gravel parking area, 50amp electrical, water, and sewer connection for RV. Plans were submitted to build a 2500sf home, impact fees paid, perk tests performed, but ultimately the house wasn’t built and permits cancelled. The impact fees paid will reduce or eliminate additional impact fees for new construction, verify details with county. 15 loads of fill dirt were spread in the field to level and elevate the location they planned to build a house. It has naturally compacted while sitting in place for 8+ years. There is an additional gate directly along the County Road 450 frontage. The initial plan was to build a home on the Eastern side of the parcel, visually separating the home and shop with different entrances and driveways. Greater property depth as well as privacy from the main road on the Eastern side of the property. This land is set up perfectly to build your dream home with plenty of room for dry materials storage during construction in the 2400sf building. Use the building for personal or business use in the future. In addition to water and power already being in place, Lake county allows property owners to live in an RV as long as they have active permits to construct a home on-site. Once the home is completed, long-term living in the RV is no longer allowed. Park your RV for an immediate home-base while building your dream home! Any type of home from manufactured to large custom homes are allowed. Surrounding homes are all on larger parcels, undeveloped land to the West, Ag/Equestrian type surroundings. Convenient to Mt. Dora, Eustis, and The Villages. New builder neighborhoods are stacking homes together at 5-10+ homes per acre, wouldn’t it be nice to build a dream home on your own private 9+ acres of peaceful land?
