Property Description

Prime residential lot opportunity in Okeechobee, Okeechobee County. Situated in a rural setting, this property offers convenient access to Triple T Ranch park (approximately 1.44 miles), Buckler Farm (1.61 miles), Malafaia Farm (1.68 miles), and PATCO Land Clearing, LLC (1.97 miles). The lot is located in Flood Zone X, a low-risk area outside the 100-year and 500-year floodplains, generally allowing for straightforward permitting with no special elevation or flood insurance requirements, which can help lower overall build costs and timelines. However, wetlands (Mixed Shrubs 6172 & Wet Prairie 6430) are present on the property. These protected areas are subject to federal and state regulations, and building may require avoidance, extensive permitting, delineation studies, or mitigation banking. Zoned RS (Residential Single-Family), the property supports low-density residential use including site-built and modular homes by right, with possible conditional uses for duplexes or Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) subject to applicable building codes, conditions, and approvals. Duplexes, townhomes, multifamily development, and mobile home communities are generally prohibited without rezoning. Buyer should verify all zoning, setbacks, utility availability, and development requirements with the Okeechobee County Planning Department. The property is available for a self-guided tour. Subleasing is not permitted. This lot is not available for rent or lease.
