This peaceful location is ideal for those looking to build a dream home or invest in property surrounded by nature, yet still close to modern conveniences. New homes are being built throughout the area, making now the perfect time to purchase while this community continues to grow.

Punta Gorda Airport and I-75 are nearby, making travel and commuting easy, while beaches, golf courses, and nature preserves are all within a short drive. This homesite features a serene natural setting, and the owner has noted occasional gopher tortoise sightings on or near the property.
