Under contract-accepting backup offers. Part of a 2-parcel assemblage spanning Newnans Lake lakefront from Earl Powers Park to Lake Shore Drive. Assemblage also includes direct access to SE Hawthorne Road, Newnans Lake and Lake Shore Drive. The following additional parcel is included: 18001-000-000: 54 acres, $325,000. MLS: GC523760 Both parcels can be purchased individually or the whole assemblage can be purchased at a bulk discounted price. Please contact agent directly to discuss plans and terms. Please see the attachments for a brochure for the whole assemblage! This 7-acre parcel is the perfect mixed-use investment directly off SE Hawthorne Road. 3 of the 7 acres are high and dry and commercially zoned allowing for strong investment potential. The remaining 4 acres are wooded swampland. This land is in a great location, directly off of SE Hawthorne Road and adjacent to Newnans Lake, Newnans Lake Boat Ramp and Earl Powers Park. When scouting or viewing the property, please be very conscious of the parcel boundaries. Due to its irregular shape, it can be easy to mistake the property lines. It will not be obviously clear where the property lines begin and end, so please call for more information and/or take explicit note of the parcel boundaries on a map.
East Gainesville, located between Downtown Gainesville and Newnans Lake, is a historic and residential Gainesville neighborhood with a grid of shaded streets and a strong civic footprint. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard corridor near SE 4th Avenue, where murals, small storefronts, and community institutions set an active street rhythm. The Historic Thomas Center and the Hippodrome Theatre anchor nearby cultural calendars, while Depot Park adds a waterfront promenade and food-hall energy. Housing ranges from mid-century ranches to older bungalows, with pockets of newer infill. Sidewalks and bike routes trace toward the Hawthorne Trail and the University of Florida campus edge. Green space and local venues shape a grounded, day-to-day pace.
