Land Description
Own a Peaceful 0.86-Acre Getaway in the Heart of Marianna, Fl
Tucked away in the quiet community of Compass Lake in the Hills, this 0.86-Acre lot offers you a rare chance to own a generous piece of land in the scenic Florida Panhandle. Whether you're seeking a private homesite, an investment for the future, or a peaceful weekend escape, this parcel gives you the freedom and flexibility to make it happen-on your timeline, with your vision.
A Property with Endless Possibilities
At nearly an acre, this lot provides ample space to build the home you've always dreamed of. Picture yourself creating a serene homestead with a wraparound porch, vegetable gardens, a fire pit, and space for children or pets to roam freely. You can install your own well and septic system, connect to nearby power, and design every detail of your property the way you want-without the oversight of a homeowners association.
No Hoa, No Pressure-Just Freedom
One of the best things about this lot? There's no Hoa. That means no dues, no restrictive design rules, and no time limit to build. Want to purchase the land now and hold it until you're ready to build years down the road? You can. Want to bring in a contractor next month and start construction immediately? Go for it. You're not locked into anyone else's schedule-this land is yours, and you control what happens with it.
Ideal for a Permanent Home or Weekend Retreat
The size and location of this lot make it incredibly versatile. It's perfect for a full-time residence if you're looking to downsize, retire, or relocate to a quieter lifestyle. It's also ideal as a part-time retreat or vacation cabin for those who want a low-cost getaway in nature. The quiet surroundings, abundant trees, and rural charm make it the kind of place you'll never want to leave-and always look forward to coming back to.
Gorgeous Natural Surroundings
This parcel is part of the Compass Lake in the Hills subdivision, known for its rolling terrain, beautiful pine forests, and proximity to some of North Florida's most treasured outdoor spaces. The land itself features a mix of native vegetation and open areas, giving you a head start on clearing and developing your homesite. Whether you want to keep the property wooded for privacy or open it up for gardens and recreation, you'll have the space and flexibility to do so.
An Outdoor Lover's Paradise
Just minutes from the lot, you'll find Compass Lake, a beautiful, spring-fed lake perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply relaxing on the water. Also nearby is McCormick Lake, a quieter and equally scenic destination. For a true outdoor adventure, head to Florida Caverns State Park, where you can explore underground cave systems, hike shaded trails, or camp under the stars. From boating and fishing to hiking and birdwatching, you'll have nature at your doorstep year-round.
Close to City Amenities Without the Noise
Though the property feels secluded, it's only about 20-25 minutes to downtown Marianna, where you'll find all your daily essentials. Grocery stores, restaurants, hardware shops, schools, and medical facilities are all easily accessible. You get the best of both worlds-peaceful rural living with convenient city access when you need it. It's a rare blend of privacy and practicality that appeals to families, retirees, and investors alike.
A Town with Charm, History, and Community
Marianna is one of Florida's oldest cities, known for its beautiful antebellum homes, historic downtown, and warm Southern hospitality. The city features unique architecture, boutique shops, and community events like farmers markets, parades, and festivals that bring locals together throughout the year. Living here means being part of a friendly, close-knit community where neighbors still wave hello and people take pride in their town's rich heritage.
A Smart and Affordable Investment
At just $10,603, this lot offers an extremely affordable entry into Florida land ownership. Annual taxes are only about $70, and with no HOA dues or ongoing fees, your cost of ownership stays low. Whether you're a seasoned investor or a first-time buyer, this is a low-risk opportunity to secure real property in a growing area of the state. You can build now or hold for future appreciation-either way, you're investing in something tangible and lasting.
Perfect for First-Time Builders or Off-Grid Enthusiasts
The residential zoning allows for site-built homes and potentially modular or manufactured homes (verify with Jackson County). Because you'll install your own well and septic, you're not reliant on municipal hookups-giving you more autonomy and flexibility. If you're interested in a more sustainable or off-grid lifestyle, this is an ideal setup. With sunshine year-round, the potential for solar power is high, and with no Hoa, alternative building styles may be considered.
