Set on a 1-acre, cul-de-sac lot in Buckingham West, this property offers a rare opportunity in one of southwest Gainesville's most desirable locations. The existing home includes 4 bedrooms plus an office, 2 bathrooms, a 2-car side-entry garage, and a large in-ground pool, but it has extensive water damage and will require a full renovation or possible tear-down. The home reflects a distinctive early-1970s design centered around a U-shaped courtyard layout. Nearly every room opens directly to the pool and courtyard through sliding glass doors"”nine sets in total"”creating a strong indoor-outdoor connection that was ahead of its time. The structure also features a flat tar-and-gravel roof, which will require replacement as part of any major renovation. The real value here is the setting: a rare acre homesite tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, surrounded by established homes and mature trees. Opportunities like this are increasingly difficult to find this close to Gainesville's major destinations. For buyers or investors willing to take on the project, the upside is significant. In this location, a fully updated 2,400-square-foot 4-bedroom/2-bath pool home on an acre could reasonably command approximately $700,000-$850,000, depending on finishes and design. Conveniently located just 5 minutes to Haile Plantation, 10 minutes to HCA Florida North Florida Hospital, 15 minutes to UF and UF Health Shands Hospital, and 7 minutes to Tioga Town Center for dining, shops, and everyday conveniences. Whether you envision a full renovation or building new, this Buckingham West acre lot offers a rare chance to create something special in a prime southwest Gainesville location.
