Property Description

Are you looking for affordable Florida land with no Hoa?

This 1.11-Acre lot in western FL is priced way below market and comes with very few restrictions.

Let me show you how one man saw freedom in the dirt, and how this 1.11-Acre lot could do the same for you.

In 1938, a young German immigrant named Adolph Gortemoller stepped off a train in the Florida panhandle with just $10.

He staked what little he had on a patch of Florida pineland that had been stripped bare and left for dead.

Locals thought he was crazy.

Nothing grows out there anymore.

But Adolph had no plan B.

So he pushed forward.

But he was not prepared for what came next.

The soil was worn out.

His early plantings failed.

Storms ripped through the area.

But he didn't want to give up so quickly.

He studied the soil. Chose new crops.

His efforts helped spark a movement, one that would eventually lead to the creation of the Compass Lake Growers Association in 1941.

And the area around Compass Lake?

And then, planted something no one else had dared to try: Tung trees.

Little by little, those trees took root.

What was once cut-over pine land, stripped bare and left behind, began to bloom again.

And the man people once mocked?

He became one of the first to make that land work again.

It hasn't been the same since.

Today, just a few miles from where that transformation began, there's a quiet 1.11-Acre ridge, still peaceful, still full of promise.

And like before, it's waiting for someone with the vision to see what it could become.

This lot sits on a quiet, tree-lined road, just minutes from Compass Lake, perfect for boating, kayaking, or simply unplugging.

Panama City Beach?

Less than an hour away.

Close enough for a day trip.

Far enough to feel like you're off the grid.

Power runs along the road.

Access is easy.

And with over an acre to work with, you've got space to build, grow, or just breathe.

And here's the best part, this land is high and dry, outside of flood zones, with no Hoa, no annual dues, and no one telling you what you can or can't do with your own property.

But land like this doesn't sit around for long.

That's why we offer an 8 day hold, so you can secure the lot while you do your due diligence.

No pressure.

No risk.

Just a fair shot.

Simply click 'Buy or Hold' before someone else does.

Note: This property was acquired at a tax auction.

You can close through a title company (~$1,400), or save by closing directly with us via a quitclaim deed.
