Looking for a peaceful spot to live close to nature? Check out this 1.08-acre property near Alford, Florida! It's a quiet place with lots of trees and it's close to some natural lakes for fishing, kayaking, or just hanging out by the water.
The property is dry and buildable. No flood zones or wetlands. And power lines are right along the road.
What are the restrictions? I get that question all the time. The property is zoned residential for single family homes. What type of home you build is up to you. You could build a custom house, a barndominium, modular home, or manufactured home. The main requirements are that it has to be at least 1,000 square feet and follow Florida building codes. That means that tiny homes are are probably not doable unless you were able to get a variance from the county. And for manufactured homes, you would need one of the larger single-wides (16' x 76') or a double-wide.
The location is close to Marianna, so it's easy to pop into town whenever you need at Walmart or the hardware store. The roads to get here are great, too. Whether you're looking for a place to relax on weekends or thinking about living here long-term, this land has great privacy and convenience. The beaches in Panama City are just an hour away.
Also, Jackson County does not currently charge impact fees when you apply for your building permits. That saves you money on your build. Most counties in Florida charge impact fees which ranging $10K to $20K in additional costs. Florida has low taxes, but the state usually finds a way to get it back from you in fees. Choosing a county that doesn't hit you with those permits fees is one of the few ways to actually keep your costs down.
