A rare waterfront opportunity awaits on this approximately 0.57-acre North Port property. With about 200 feet of seawall along a tranquil canal connected to Big Slough Canal and the Myakka River, the setting is well suited for enjoying the water by kayak or canoe. Mature fruit trees add character to the property, and two boat davit cranes are already on site. An existing structure is uninhabitable, offering the opportunity to envision a new use for the property. The site is zoned AC-1 (Activity Center 1), a designation that may allow a range of residential, commercial, and service-oriented uses, subject to applicable city approvals, development standards, and site plan review. Potential uses may include multifamily housing, a hotel or resort, medical or dental offices, assisted living, a restaurant, an RV resort, or certain beverage-related businesses. Buyers should confirm permitted uses directly with the City of North Port. Parks, golf courses, shopping, dining, and Warm Mineral Springs Park are nearby, with Gulf beaches within driving distance.
