1 miles to I-4, 1.2 miles to Lakeland Square mall, 24000 cars a day, and flexible zoning opportunities. Proof of concept in all directions, from housing to storage, retail to municipal. There is no better parcel of scale I know of in the entire county. If you need to build something big, do it here. There are 5 buildings on the property, no real value in the structures. Nice bonus, there is a 6" well on the property that can be utilized immediately for agricultural applications. Been in the family for forever, not too many like this around anymore.
