0 SW Gator Trl, FL 34266

Prime residential lot opportunity in DeSoto County, located on SW Gator Trl (ZIP 34266). Situated in a growing area of Florida, this property offers convenient access to a nearby park (approximately 1.5 miles), medical services/doctor (1.56 miles), and highways including Mercer Plumbing and VOV Grading and Clearing (approximately 1.84-1.96 miles). The lot is located in Flood Zone AE, a high-risk 100-year floodplain area, requiring the lowest floor of any structure to be elevated at or above the base flood elevation (BFE) due local floodplain management rules. Construction costs will increase due to elevated foundations, flood vents, or breakaway walls; basements are typically prohibited, and mandatory flood insurance applies, potentially raising long-term ownership expenses. Development may also face restrictions on fill dirt or impervious surfaces to avoid increasing flood risks. Wetland impacts from Stream and Lake Swamps/Bottomland and Freshwater Marshes may trigger federal and state regulations (e. g. , Clean Water Act Section 404 permits from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers), making building difficult or requiring extensive mitigation like creating off-site wetlands. Buyer should verify all zoning, setbacks, utility availability, and development requirements with DeSoto County. The property is available for a self-guided tour. Subleasing is not permitted. This lot is not available for rent or lease.
