Under contract-accepting backup offers. Make your American dream a reality in Northwest Volusia County, Florida. This unique 5-acre early-American homestead and farm offers a rare opportunity to restore a property full of history, character, and potential. Set on high and dry land at approximately 85 feet above sea level, this property reflects the kind of setting early settlers were drawn to for its elevation, usability, and long-term appeal. The property includes 2 homes, including a main home believed by the seller to date back to 1874, while property appraiser records reflect 1903 as the effective age for tax purposes. A mother-in-law home with attached garage, built in 1937, adds further flexibility for multi-generational living or future restoration. Both homes have sustained vandalism and will require significant rehabilitation. Additional improvements include a separate garage with concrete floor for the main home, along with the agricultural infrastructure to support a variety of future uses. The property features a former orange grove, an independent 5-inch well, and above-ground irrigation covering approximately 4 acres, creating opportunity for farming, horticultural use, or a new agricultural venture. Whether you envision planting a new crop, creating a horse ranch, or establishing a family compound, the land offers a strong foundation for many possibilities. An added advantage is that power and city water are already on site, and the existing improvements may offer value to a buyer from an impact fee standpoint, subject to verification by the appropriate authorities. The property’s central location adds to its appeal, with convenient access to schools, sports, rodeo events, the St. Johns River, beaches, camping, state lands and parks, and both fresh and saltwater fishing. This is a rare chance to own a piece of old Florida with room to dream, restore, and create something special. Buyer to verify all information deemed important, including age of structures, zoning, permitted uses, impact fee credits or savings, utility availability, agricultural improvements, and intended future use.
