- Unique Opportunity 1.25-Acre Off-Grid Recreational Property Near DeLand, Florida -

This 1.25-acre property is located between Highway I-4 and Highway 44 near DeLand, Florida, and borders Longleaf Pine Preserve on two sides. It is surrounded by, and adjacent to, more than 27,000 acres of contiguous pristine natural Florida woods. The vast majority of nearby landowners are not local and rarely, if ever, have visited the area. This property offers quick and convenient access from 2 different paved roads, while still feeling extremely quiet, secluded, and remote.

Legal, platted, and recorded access for landowners is provided through a system of well-constructed dirt roads. While the area is technically accessible by truck, these mostly unmaintained roads are best suited for a Jeep, side-by-side, ATV, UTV, or similar off-road vehicle due to bumps, brush, and the potential for scratched paint. There is a small ditch approximately 100 yards from the property that is not currently passable by truck. An old bridge built years ago is still in place and could possibly be improved for UTV or ATV use.

Currently approved and allowed uses include hunting, fishing, camping, and agriculture. There are a couple of established camps with structures in the surrounding area, which suggests similar recreational use may be permitted or tolerated in this location. This area offers excellent deer, hog, and turkey hunting.

Unlike hunting leases and clubs, there are very few competing hunters, no lease rules or restrictions, and no HOA or POA to worry about. The only hunting regulations are the basic statewide private-land laws, which are much more flexible than rules for public or leased land. You get to manage your own land your way, with the ability to run feeders, build food plots, and enjoy the property on your own terms.

The other major appeal of this property is its real investment potential. Despite the remote and isolated feel, it is ideally located between two major highways, directly in the path of growth between Daytona Beach and DeLand. It's also adjacent to a nearby vacant-industrial zoned area and county transfer facility, adding to its long-term potential value.
