This is a beautiful, level, building site that's .56 Acre just outside the city limits of and a quick 5 minutes drive to downtown DeFuniak Springs, FL. With street access to electric and city water (tap unpaid), it will require a septic upon building. It appears the community covenants and restrictions have expired and manufactured homes would be allowed, though the street only contains site built at this time. Pls verify anything of importance prior to making an offer. BUILDERS: TWO more lots available in the same block (same size and larger) and seller would make a package deal for all!
