Property Description

Are you looking for affordable Florida land near a lake?

This.92-Acre lot in western FL is just minutes from Compass Lake, and it's priced under $15,000.

But this isn't just a budget-friendly lot.

Let me show you why it's also a piece of forgotten Florida history, and how that history could be the beginning of your next chapter.

Back in 1925, two men, Keith and McKenzie, did something unexpected.

They weren't rich.

They weren't famous.

But with the little they had, they bought thousands of acres of chopped-up pine forest, a place the war had stripped bare and the lumber company had left behind.

People thought they were crazy.

The soil was rough.

The roads were gone.

But they saw something no one else did:

You see citrus was booming in south Florida.

But here in Jackson County?

Too cold.

Too remote.

Still, they didn't care.

They weren't chasing guarantees.

They were chasing transformation.

So they went all in.

They dug.

They planted orange trees.

They built packing houses.

And little by little, green shoots started rising where pine stumps used to rot.

But then came the cold.

A hard freeze.

Then another.

The trees died.

The dream cracked.

Still, they didn't quit.

They tried again.

Replanted.

Waited.

But the seasons weren't kind.

Eventually, the groves went quiet.

The packing houses emptied.

And Keith and McKenzie, two men who bet on a forgotten place, faded into history.

But the land didn't.

Because maybe it was never meant to grow oranges.

Maybe it was meant to grow something else.

A home.

A getaway.

A second chance.

And that brings us here.

To a quiet, wooded lot just off Anderson Drive.

A piece of that same soil... waiting for someone bold enough to see the value in it again.

You're less than 5 minutes from Compass Lake.

No Hoa.

Rural residential zoning.

Build when you're ready.

Or just hold it, no annual dues, no red tape.

We do 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.

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 quitclaim deed.
