Chestnut Trail, Interlachen, FL 32148
A small platted lot off Chestnut Trail outside Interlachen, with power already at the road and the lot next door for sale if you want the room. This is the manufactured-home lot most Florida buyers gave up looking for: no park, no lot rent, no HOA, and Putnam County lets you set one on a permanent foundation by right. Lakes in every direction, Palatka and the St. Johns about twenty-five minutes east.
A Lot You Own, Not a Space You Rent
If you've priced a manufactured home in Florida lately, you know the home was never the problem. It's the lot rent, climbing every year, on ground that will never be yours. This is the other way to do it.
Here you set the home on a lot with your own name on the deed, hook to the power that already runs at the road, and never write a park manager another check. Putnam County is fine with a manufactured home on a permanent foundation here, and nothing starts a clock on you. Buy the lot next door too and you've got room for a shop or a garden without a neighbor's window ten feet off (Florida neighbors are lovely, but not at ten feet).
You're just outside Interlachen, in Putnam County lake country, with Palatka about twenty-five minutes east on the St. Johns, one of the few rivers in the country that runs north the whole way to the sea. Gainesville is about forty minutes west when you want a city.
The trade is size. This is a small lot, a shade under a quarter acre (call it two platted lots wide, which sounds better and is also true), so it's a homesite, not a spread. Water and sewer are a well and a septic system, same as everyone around you.
Florida has plenty of places to live where somebody else owns the dirt. This isn't one of them.
Is this your kind of land
A manufactured or mobile home owner tired of monthly lot rent, or someone building a modest house with a well and septic system in rural Florida.
Not a fit for tent camping, full-time RV living, or buyers who need utilities already on-site. You'll drill a well and install septic.

Dig deeper
Water: On-site: None. Options: Well or Haul. Would be a well, water haul and holding tank or other similar option
Sewer / septic: On-site: None. Options: Septic.
Residential-2 is the Putnam County zone written to include manufactured homes, so a HUD-code unit on a permanent foundation with skirting is allowed by right, alongside a site-built or modular house under the Florida Building Code. Power is already at the road, water is a well, and sewer is a septic system, with the county checking buildability and septic on an older platted lot like this before the permit issues. Once your house permits are pulled you can live in an RV on the lot for six months while you build, extendable once. Buy the adjoining lot as well and the two together give you room for a garage or a garden.

Putnam County decides what is allowed, not us. Confirm current rules with Planning & Zoning before you buy.
