10222 NW 173RD STREET

Bring your dreams, your vision, and your blueprints to this gorgeous 7.69-acre parcel in Alachua! Listed as vacant land, this unique acreage comes with a massive, highly valuable head start: operational electricity, a newer well, and a septic system are already installed, saving you tens of thousands of dollars and months of waiting on county permits and site development. As an extraordinary bonus, the parcel features a historic 1900 cottage with essential contemporary updates, making it fully livable. While the structure will not qualify for traditional residential financing or homeowners insurance, it would make an ideal "on-site headquarters" or temporary residence while you design and build your tailored forever home. Inside, the functional floor plan welcomes you into a cozy living room, which flows seamlessly into a cute kitchen with a range and refrigerator. A central hallway guides you to two comfortable bedrooms on either side of a shared bathroom with a tub/shower combo. There is also a large laundry area, ample storage space, and a bonus room at the back of the house providing convenient access to the backyard. The land itself offers a highly desirable layout, featuring a wide-open, sunlit interior field bordered on two sides by a dense canopy of mature trees. Location is everything, and this opportunity truly delivers with its peaceful rural setting and close proximity to North Central Florida’s best natural wonders and modern amenities. Situated at the end of NW 173rd Street, it’s a short drive to the area's world-famous, crystal-clear freshwater springs, including Poe, Gilchrist Blue, and the iconic Ginnie Springs. You are just minutes away from historic Downtown Alachua, known for local dining, shopping, and community parks, and Gainesville is under 20 minutes away. Whether you are an investor looking for a prime canvas, a homesteader wanting established utilities, or a buyer looking for a special place to call home, this property is a rare find. If you are a cash buyer or utilizing a land loan, schedule your showing today to see the endless possibilities for yourself!
