Under contract-accepting backup offers. Rarely does a property combine such significant investment potential with the serene beauty of a private woodland retreat, all while situated just steps from the University of Florida’s South Campus. This expansive 1.5-acre parcel is ideally positioned across from the UF College of Veterinary Medicine, offering an incredible opportunity to reimagine the landscape into a premier estate. The land itself is a stunning open expanse framed by a majestic canopy of towering native Florida trees, providing a sense of seclusion and "Old Florida" charm that is nearly impossible to find so close to the university core. Adding immediate value is an existing income-producing secondary residence, currently tenant-occupied, providing a built-in revenue stream while you plan your vision for the site. You are perfectly placed to enjoy the best of Gainesville living; the property is minutes from the world-class shopping and dining at Butler Plaza and Celebration Pointe, the cultural exhibits of the Florida Museum of Natural History, and the pristine hiking trails of Bivens Arm Nature Park and Paynes Prairie. Whether you are looking to build a custom masterpiece in the shadow of the swamp or secure a high-value asset in one of the city’s most sought-after corridors, this property offers a rare canvas for growth and lifestyle.
