Ken Hubbard RoadPalmetto, FL 34221Price: $339,000

Land on Terra Ceia Island rarely comes to market, and a parcel with this much size and flexibility is rarer still. This 2.27-acre tract (98,707 SF) sits at the corner of US Highway 19 and Ken Hubbard Road, with approximately 166 feet along the US 19 right-of-way and 161 feet on Ken Hubbard Road for a quiet residential entrance. At roughly 645 feet deep, the parcel lets you set your home well back from the highway behind your own buffer of land, while keeping the convenience of US 19 at the edge of the property. Terra Ceia is one of the most desirable addresses in Manatee County, and it earns that reputation. The island has held onto its Old Florida character and agricultural roots, with a small, close-knit community that has avoided the dense development seen across much of the Suncoast. Surrounded by Terra Ceia Bay, the Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve, and nearly 2,000 acres of protected preserve land, the setting is one that simply cannot be recreated. At the same time, you are minutes from the southern foot of the Sunshine Skyway and I-275, with St. Petersburg, Tampa, Bradenton, and Anna Maria Island all within easy reach. Zoned RSF-1 (single-family residential) with a RES-1 future land use designation, the property is suited for a private estate home with room for a pool, a detached garage or workshop, gardens, or simply open space between you and your neighbors. Bring your builder and your vision. Acreage on Terra Ceia Island does not come along often.
