Land Description
0.22 Acres in Putnam County, Florida - Build Your Florida Home
Finding the right piece of land to build on is one of the most important steps in creating a place to call home. This 0.22-Acre property in Florahome, Florida, located within Interlachen Lakes Estates Unit 17, offers a unique opportunity for buyers looking to design a residence on their own terms. With direct road access and electricity nearby, the lot is practical and ready for future planning.
Some properties are best suited for camping, others for short-term recreation, but this one is designed for building. From the moment you arrive at Ellen Ave, you'll notice the lot has an easy layout, a flat surface, and semi-dense vegetation that offers both privacy and flexibility for clearing. Because of its zoning, tiny homes, mobile homes, and duplexes are all allowed, which makes this a flexible choice for different kinds of households.
Many families today are looking not only for a place to live but also for a property that can become part of their long-term story. Land like this in Putnam County has value as a home site today and as a family heirloom for tomorrow. Whether you decide to build right away or hold the property for a few years until the time is right, it has the potential to serve as a permanent residence, a retirement spot, or a future retreat for your children and grandchildren.
Unlike large suburban subdivisions with strict homeowners' associations, this neighborhood gives you the freedom to build in a way that reflects your lifestyle. Want a traditional single-family home? That works here. Considering something smaller and more efficient, like a tiny home? That's also allowed. Thinking about placing a mobile home or duplex to provide more living space or additional rental income? The zoning supports that too. This is the kind of flexibility that makes properties in this part of Florida appealing to a wide range of buyers.
Property Features
This parcel is straightforward but full of opportunity:
Acreage: 0.22 acres
Apn: Gs 24-09-24-4076-1520-0130
Subdivision: Interlachen Lakes Estates Unit 17
City: Florahome, Florida (Putnam County)
Zoning: R-2 (Residential, Two-Family)
Housing Options: Tiny homes, mobile homes, and duplexes are all allowed
Utilities: With direct road access and electricity nearby, septic and well required
Topography: Flat terrain with semi-dense vegetation and mature trees
Access: Road frontage directly on Ellen Ave
Because the lot is flat, it reduces many of the challenges that come with construction on uneven land. Semi-dense vegetation provides a balance between natural privacy and manageable clearing costs, giving you flexibility to create a layout that works for your home. The trees can be incorporated into a yard design for shade and atmosphere, or selectively cleared to open the space for your home, driveway, or outdoor areas.
The fact that the property has direct road access and electricity nearby means it is not isolated. It's easy to reach by car, and connecting to utilities is more practical than with more remote parcels. These are the kinds of details that make a difference when you're comparing land options in Florida.

This opens the door to many possibilities. Some buyers may want to build a starter home now and later upgrade.

The zoning makes all of these plans possible.
