Hearst Street, North Port, FL 34288

Property Description

Located in the heart of North Port’s burgeoning growth corridor, this premium 0.30-acre (12,936 sqf) CORNER LOT located just off Price Blvd on Hearst Street (Lot 15) represents a rare and versatile investment opportunity with an expansive 227 feet of road frontage. Boasting highly coveted AC-10 (Activity Center) zoning, the property offers a flexible canvas for a visionary developer. This designation is primarily geared toward commercial and mixed-use projects, allowing for a dynamic blend of professional and residential spaces. The true potential of this site lies in its multi-story capabilities. Under current guidelines, a developer could create a three-story building featuring a commercial storefront or service-based business—such as a boutique "Dog Spa" or professional office—on the ground floor, with a modern duplex or residential units situated above. This "live-work" configuration maximizes the footprint while tapping into the high demand for integrated urban living in Southwest Florida. Development is made even more seamless as the property is notably NOT located in a Scrub Jay review area, and in a highly desirable "X" Flood Zone. Building in an X flood zone is a massive advantage for a buyer; because the area is determined to be of minimal flood risk, federal mandates do not require you to carry lender-required flood insurance. This translates to thousands of dollars saved annually in carrying costs and significantly lower building costs, eliminating costly flood-plain construction standards. While a future home here will utilize a private well and septic system—giving you total independence over your utility configuration—the infrastructure in the immediate area is already well underway. Electricity is located just around the corner, and several newer built homes are situated nearby. Location is everything, and this parcel keeps you perfectly connected to the very best of Southwest Florida. Commuters and travelers will love that the property is located just minutes from Interstate 75, offering incredibly quick and easy highway access for effortless travel north toward Sarasota and Tampa, or south toward Fort Myers and Naples. When it comes to air travel, you are perfectly positioned just North of two regional hubs, sitting only about 20 minutes from the Punta Gorda Airport (PGD) and roughly an hour from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers.If you love the coastal lifestyle and outdoor recreation, you are just a short drive from some of the finest coastlines and sports entertainment in the state. World-class pristine sands are within easy reach, with the breathtaking, relaxed shores of Englewood Beach and the exclusive, historic charm of Boca Grande beaches both located under 45 minutes away. For sports enthusiasts, you are right in the heart of Spring training baseball action. The property is just a quick drive to CoolToday Park, the state-of-the-art spring home of the Atlanta Braves right here in North Port, as well as the Charlotte Sports Park, the premier spring training facility for the Tampa Bay Rays located just down the road in Port Charlotte. Don't miss your chance to secure an exceptional, hassle-free piece of Florida paradise that checks every single box for value, size, and location.
