Pay close attention to this listing. Undoubtedly, it will check a lot of boxes on your needs list. Maybe all of them. If you want a spring-fed pond stocked with bream, or a 2,300 square foot mechanics shop with a built in compressor, bookmark this one. If you need a manageably-sized home that doesn’t need a lot of work, this one has many updates, and is clean as a pin. Is accessibility a concern? A ramp to the front door was installed in 2025. Trailer, camper, RV, or boat owners: The 2,300 square foot barn-style workshop has an electrical hookup. The mechanics shop offers a concrete floor, multiple roll-up doors, lighting, compressor, and was rewired in 2025. In 2019, Rebuild Northwest Florida performed a thorough hurricane shore up on the house. Full details are in the document section. A complete walk around the fence line left me astounded that you can’t see any neighbors — should true privacy be your hot button. It’s so private, in fact, that not even the cars on Helms Road can see in. The topography is a dream. A large assortment of live oaks, water oaks, and cypress trees dot the parcel, and the pond edge is alive with cypress knees. The 17x14 dock was installed in 2024. Windows were updated in 2018, the roof was replaced in 2020, and the house electrical was updated in 2023. The pictures tell the story of a mid-century ranch with an impressive maintenance history, located on an exquisite parcel, with a natural pond, huge workshop, and a 100% private disposition. This is the one.

Northwest Pensacola, located between Mobile Highway and the Perdido River, is a suburban and semi-rural Bellview neighborhood with pine-flatwoods scenery and wide-lot streets. The area’s character concentrates around the Mobile Highway and Saufley Field Road corridor, where auto shops, taquerias, feed-and-tackle counters, and no-frills diners set a working-day rhythm. Housing trends toward ranch-style homes, manufactured residences, and newer infill on larger parcels, with long driveways and deep setbacks. The landscape shifts from commercial strips to quiet roads edging creeks and wetlands. Weekends often point toward nearby boat ramps and trails rather than a single town square. Daily errands cluster along Mobile Highway, while open sky and tree lines shape the pace.

MDR
Medium Density Residential District
The medium density residential (MDR) district establishes appropriate areas and land use regulations for residential uses at medium densities within suburban or urban areas. The primary intent of the district is to provide for residential neighborhood development in an efficient urban pattern of well-connected streets and at greater dwelling unit density than the low density residential district. Residential uses within the MDR district are limited to single-family and two-family dwellings. The district allows non-residential uses that are compatible with suburban and urban residential neighborhoods.
Permitted uses
