Located close to the Columbia County line with quick and easy access to Lake City and Lake Butler.
Local Insight
At under $240K on nearly 8 acres in a X flood zone, this 2006 home offers serious land value if you're looking for privacy or potential development—that price-per-square-foot is reasonable for the rural setup, though the modest 984 sqft means you're really paying for the acreage. The tradeoff is typical for Lake Butler's outskirts: you get space and no HOA restrictions, but you're looking at a longer commute to employment centers and likely well/septic systems rather than municipal utilities, so factor in those long-term maintenance costs. The fireplace is nice for ambiance, but inspect the HVAC and roof age carefully given the 2006 build and rural exposure to weather.
