RARE 10+ ACRE OPPORTUNITY AT VERNA GROVE — TWO ALREADY-DIVIDED HOMESITES FOR $845,000! FLOOD ZONE X, NO HOA, NO CDD. Discover approximately 10.74 acres of beautiful Old Florida land, divided into two separate 5+ acre parcels! This unique opportunity is ideal for creating a private family compound, with the potential to build a primary residence and guest house on EACH parcel — allowing for up to FOUR dwelling units, subject to applicable county approvals. Buyers can enjoy the flexibility of two established homesites without the added process of pursuing a future lot split. LAND CLEARING, DRIVEWAYS, AND SITE PREPARATION CAN BE NEGOTIATED INTO THE DEAL. Both parcels remain largely wooded, offering a beautiful natural setting where buyers can choose what to clear, where to build, and which mature trees to preserve. Mature, producing orange trees are scattered throughout the property, adding to its authentic Old Florida charm. Whether your vision includes custom estate homes, barndominiums, guest houses, barns, workshops, horses, or simply a peaceful country retreat, this property provides the space and freedom to make it your own. Buyers have complete flexibility to buy now and hold for the future or build when they’re ready with builder of their choice. Those who choose to work with Watson Homes may qualify for additional buyer incentives, including preferred contractor pricing for land clearing and site preparation, as well as opportunities to negotiate certain land improvements, driveways, fencing, or elements of future construction into the overall deal. Bring us your ideas and reasonable offers — we’re happy to discuss creative opportunities to make your vision a reality! Verna Grove offers peaceful Old Florida living less than 10 minutes from Publix, approximately 20 minutes from Lakewood Ranch and I-75, 30 minutes from UTC and Downtown Sarasota, and less than an hour from Anna Maria Island and Siesta Key beaches.
