Land Guides by Location

State and county guides for the places we sell. What the ground is like, what the rules allow, what it costs, and what you can genuinely do there. If we have inventory in a county, there is usually a guide for it.

Hoot Owl Road is paved and power runs right past the lot, which is more than most of this old Satsuma subdivision can say. It's a quarter acre in St. Johns River country, twelve minutes from Palatka and a short run to Dunn's Creek and Crescent Lake. The lot is mapped wetland and most of it sits in a FEMA flood zone, so it's priced for what it is today.
