Simon called me from Lawrence, Massachusetts. He does not want a lot to sit on. He wants ground he can plant and work.

He asked a smart question too. How do you check a piece of land before you buy it? This one shows what it costs to skip that step.

The Land Listing That Looked Perfect Until He Called - a short story about checking a lot before you buy it

Good price. Good spot on the map. One phone call changed the whole picture. Ask first. Always.

Simon asked how he could be sure we are real, and that is fair. Every sale ends with a deed recorded in that county's own public records. You can look it up yourself, online, for free, without asking us.

Now the land. He wanted at least an acre and a half. Our quarter-acre lots were too small for him, so I pulled the three that give him room to grow.

The one with real room —

Ivanhoe Dr, Satsuma — 4.54 acres. Tall pines, birds in the wetlands, and a paved road right to it. Room for a greenhouse, a garden, and a house, with ground left over. The St. Johns River is minutes away and Palatka is fifteen for groceries and a hospital. $1,499 down, $1,282/mo.

Ivanhoe Dr, Satsuma. 4.54 acres near the river. $1,499 down.

The two where farming is the whole point —

Lake County Blvd, Jennings — 1.2 acres. Chickens in the yard, a garden coming in, and a home you build yourself. That is what this land is for. Nobody makes you ask permission. Valdosta is twenty minutes up the road. $499 down, $411/mo.

Lake County Blvd, Jennings. Farm it, build on it, or both. $499 down.

NW Southern Oak Ter, Jennings — 1.1 acres with the same growing freedom and the lowest cash price of the three. The roads stay maintained year round, which matters when you drive down a few times a year. $999 down, $405/mo.

Both Jennings lots come in a little under the acre and a half Simon asked for. I told him that straight. What you give up in size you get back in what you are allowed to do on it.

See the 4 Cash Sale Lots →

Four lots are on a cash sale right now at 25 to 35 percent off, and one of them is farm land in Jennings.

One more thing worth knowing. Pay a lot off within twelve months of your down payment and you pay the cash price instead of the terms total. On these three that is $45,000, $10,998 and $8,998 saved.

Simon wanted land around Wauchula and we do not own anything that size there today. So he is on the list, and he gets a call before it hits the website. Tell me the area you want and I will do the same for you.
