8443 Fort Caroline RoadJacksonville, FL 32277Price: $575,000

Finding 2.94 high-and-dry acres in Jacksonville is becoming increasingly rare, and that is what immediately sets this property apart. With approximately 390 feet of road frontage and 476 feet of depth, there is an impressive amount of space here, along with the freedom of no HOA. The property is zoned RLD-60 (Residential Low Density). Buyers interested in specific future uses or development possibilities should verify their intended plans with the appropriate local authorities. Sitting on this exceptional piece of property is a 4-bedroom, 2-bath home with 2,313 square feet and so much of the character that makes an older home special. Original hardwood flooring extends throughout much of the home, including the bedrooms and the main living and dining areas, and a wood-burning fireplace adds to its warmth and personality. A separate family room with newer LVP flooring creates another comfortable gathering space and offers direct access to the side carport. The floor plan provides plenty of space while still maintaining the feel and character of the original home. The kitchen includes newer stainless steel appliances, and the large laundry room provides additional functionality with a back door leading to a shed with electricity. Outside, a circular driveway makes coming and going easy and complements the amount of space this property has to offer. The home is livable in its current condition, but it does need some work, including a new roof, and is being sold AS IS. There is plenty here worth working with for someone who wants to bring new life to an older home, while the acreage gives the next owner plenty of room to consider what they want this property to become. Properties that combine this much acreage with an established home are becoming harder to find in Jacksonville. Whether the next owner chooses to restore and update the existing home or has a completely different vision for the property, the possibilities that come with owning this much land make this property truly stand apart.
