Description of Property
This offering presents a rare chance to acquire an 81-acre industrial tract with prime exposure along U.S. Highway 27 in Lake Placid (Highlands County). With the majority of the property zoned I-2 (Industrial District), the site allows for a wide array of industrial and manufacturing uses, including bulk storage, construction yards, freight terminals, concrete or asphalt plants, lumber mills, welding shops, and metal fabrication. The southern 28 acres carry AU (Agricultural District) zoning, providing additional flexibility for agricultural operations. The property’s Future Land Use designation aligns with its current entitlements, with most of the land classified Industrial (I) and the southernmost 18 acres designated Agricultural (AG). Featuring 3,230 feet of highly visible frontage along U.S. Highway 27, this site offers outstanding accessibility and long-term development potential. Public utilities are located just north of the property, with water lines approximately five miles away and sewer service about four miles away. The property also benefits from an active 14-inch well permitted through 2034, providing a reliable water source. With its zoning and excellent highway exposure, this property is ideally positioned for users or investors seeking a strategic location in a growing Central Florida corridor. Positioned in the heart of Central Florida, this property offers a strategic location along U.S. Highway 27 (AADT: 9,800), just south of State Road 70.
