Desirable 1.14 Acre in Rural-Like Setting with City Conveniences

Offering 1.14 acres of beautiful, affordably priced, country living in Florida's heartland! Lots of elbow room and privacy is yours on this vacant tract in rural-like Avon Park Estates subdivision within a minute's drive to the City of Avon Park and to many destinations along US Highway 27. The property is 1 mile south of SR 64 via the subdivision's main road (S Avon Estates Boulevard) via another paved road (W Shula Road) that leads to South Riggins Road, which is also paved with built houses until it meets this property's SW corner and then continues north beyond the property frontage as a shell-rock road that passes by a few more houses to the next intersection. The property's EU estate residential zoning allows a single family home to be built on it, like several built and under construction homes already nestled in the subdivision's typical open space pattern of large lot development. The area's xeric scrubby vegetation and "sugar sands" are characteristic of high and dry uplands that don't get squishy from seasonal rains or hurricane flooding because they are so porous. A short drive away from this property are several shopping centers + a Super Walmart + many restaurants & entertainment venues to choose from + banks + places of worship for all denominations + several auto services & dealerships + a general aviation airport that rents hangars and tie-down spaces + a growing community college campus that offers many educational and training services + historic downtown Avon Park. Plus, all your medical needs can be satisfied at the many specialist clinics surrounding the Advent Surgical Hospital and the soon to be opened VA Hospital facility that are only 15 or so minutes from the property. For fun and recreation, you can also take your pick from the many surrounding golf courses open to the public, or boating/fishing/swimming lakes with public access dotting the nearby landscape, or even birding and hiking and ATV and flying and equestrian options conveniently situated close-by, as well. So, if you are seeking the perfect choice for peace of mind quietude with Mother Nature in the privacy of a panoramic country setting, one that doesn't compromise on the benefits and advantages of a suburban lifestyle locale, then claim this piece of Heaven on Earth as your retirement or getaway-vacation home today.
