Opportunities to acquire land of this scale in the Lakewood Ranch area are becoming increasingly rare. This exceptional three-parcel package encompasses approximately 53 acres and is offered exclusively as one purchase. The Seller will not divide the property. The package includes Parcel IDs 570100008, 570200006, and 57180002. The property offers two separate access points, with access from both Zipperer Road and Waterline Road, providing excellent accessibility across the expansive tract. Adding to the versatility are two wells and two septic systems serving the three parcels. The property also includes multiple existing residences and structures across the 3 addresses, including a triple-wide residence ready for occupancy and a ranch-hand-style single-wide residence also ready for occupancy, and a workshop/barn. Toward the rear of the third parcel is an additional structure that is in need of significant and immediate repair, offering a potential renovation, replacement, or redevelopment consideration without the added new impact fees. Imagine owning more than 50 fenced acres in the Lakewood Ranch area with room to create something truly your own. Whether your vision is a private estate, working ranch, family compound, equestrian property, agricultural use, or exploring future planning possibilities, the size and configuration of this property provide an extraordinary canvas for your vision, subject to applicable zoning, land-use regulations, approvals, and buyer due diligence. The combination of substantial acreage, multiple access points, private wells and septic systems, two occupancy-ready residences, and its location within the Lakewood Ranch area makes this one of the most distinctive land acquisition opportunities in Manatee County. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own independent due diligence regarding the future use of these properties to suit their specific needs.
