10.78 acres of opportunity in a prime Northside growth corridor of Jacksonville. This vacant parcel offers a rare blend of natural beauty and development potential, with over 2 acres of marshland providing scenic waterfront views of the Small Trout River and Trout Lake, plus abundant wildlife and privacy. Formerly a commercial nursery, the land is now vacant and ready for its next chapter. Zoned RR-ACRE, there's potential for a small residential community of approximately 8-14 homes (buyer to verify density, wetlands, and development requirements). Ideal for a private estate, family compound, or thoughtfully planned residential development. Located next to an established Methodist church and near retail, parks, and recreation. Convenient to major employment hubs including Amazon facilities, Jacksonville International Airport, and the Jacksonville International Tradeport. A unique opportunity for a buyer with vision to invest in Jacksonville's growing Northside.
