18709 NE US Hwy 301, Waldo, FL 32694

Description

This +/- 19.93 acre offering in Alachua County, Florida is made up of three parcels combining into one connected tract with 660 feet of direct frontage on US Highway 301, a major North Florida travel corridor. That frontage puts the property in a rare position: immediate, easy access to a well-traveled highway, while an internal road system carries a buyer back to a secluded potential homesite away from the road itself.
The infrastructure needed to build is already in place. A well sits on the property, power runs in along the north side, and the internal road network leads directly to the homesite area, removing several of the early hurdles a buyer typically faces when developing raw land.
Timber value is a meaningful part of this tract. Three separate stands of planted slash pine, totaling approximately 11 acres, represent an established timber investment. A forestry management plan is already in place through the Florida Forest Service, giving a buyer a documented framework for ongoing management. Beyond the pine, two separate stands of old natural Florida hardwoods, featuring sprawling live oaks and mature old-growth cypress, add both character and function, creating natural travel corridors, or "highways," that wildlife use to move through the property.
Water features round out the tract. A seasonal creek flows through the property during the wet season, a cattle pond and beautiful pine flats. Wetlands are minimal, at approximately 1.77 acres, keeping the majority of the tract usable while still contributing habitat diversity. Whitetail deer and turkey are prevalent in the area. Multiple seasonal and fresh Buck Rubs are scattered throughout the woods confirming consistent Deer activity on the property.
Together, this tract offers a rare combination for Alachua County: a secluded, tucked-away setting for a future homestead or retreat, paired with immediate access to US Highway 301, a corridor Estimated to have close to 27,000 vehicles per day based on Florida traffic count data Whether the goal is a private homesite, a timber and wildlife holding, or a longer-term land investment tied to a high-traffic corridor, this 19.93 +/- acre offering brings road frontage, infrastructure, timber, water features, and wildlife together in one package.
