0.25 Acres in Satsuma, FL Ultra-Low Tax Hold Near River
You dont need 10 acres to build equity. You need the right quarter-acre.
This 0.25-acre wooded lot on Lucas St in Satsuma, FL isnt flashy. It isnt hyped. It isnt priced like its already discovered.
And thats precisely the opportunity.
Tucked inside St. Johns Riverside Estates Hoot Owl Ridge (4th Addition), this parcel sits just minutes from the St. Johns River corridorone of North Floridas most quietly consistent lifestyle magnets. Fishing. Boating. Wildlife preserves. Open sky. And steady residential demand from retirees, builders, and long-term Florida planners.

The Exit Strategy Matrix
Smart land investors dont buy dirt.
They buy optionality.
This parcel offers multiple viable plays:
1. Long-Term Appreciation Hold
Putnam County continues to attract buyers priced out of larger coastal metros. As Palm Coast (47 minutes away) and surrounding areas expand, affordable quarter-acre lots become more attractive.
2. Future Builder Flip
R-2 zoning opens potential for single-family or two-family residential development (buyer to verify). More flexibility means a broader resale pool.
3. Lifestyle Retail Resale
Minutes from:
Murphy Creek Conservation Area (6 min)
Dunns Creek Wildlife Management Area (9 min)
Morgan Park (10 min)
St. Johns River access nearby (7 mins)
Water + woods + low density = long-term buyer appeal.

The Lifestyle That Drives Demand

Satsuma is quiet. Wooded. River-connected. Authentic Old Florida.

They grill under tall pines in the evening.
They enjoy lower density living while still being minutes from gas, groceries, and Hwy 17 access.
Thats who eventually buys land like this.
Youre simply arriving before they do.

Extremely low annual taxes
