You don’t have to go far for beautiful off-grid living in Washington County, Florida. This lush 10.53 Acre property is less than an hour from Panama City Beach. It’s close enough to what you need and far enough from what you don’t. Enjoy idyllic scenes of farms, woodlands, and well-spaced homesites. You won’t find tourists and beachcombers here among the serene pines, hardwoods, and farmland. This medium-sized property suits almost any vision: a tiny home, cozy cabin, seasonal RV base, or a spacious place to put down roots and call home. Make this beautiful space what you want, free of HOA restrictions, fees, and building time limits.

Setting the Scene

Leading to the property, mature trees and wooden rail fences line recently-paved New Jerusalem Road. The property has an excellent mix of vegetation and dry, flat space ideal for farming, gardening, or raising livestock. The wooded areas provide privacy, beauty, and soil reinforcement.

This moderately wooded property is the perfect canvas for your vision. One neighbor has cleared his land lined with a functional and attractive plank fence, while another neighboring property remains undeveloped with mature trees and native vegetation. Several ponds in the area regularly attract wildlife like white-tailed deer and waterfowl to the area.

Farming & Gardening

The mild to warm climate allows for year-round growing. Summer squash, zucchini, peppers, citrus fruits, okra, melons, tomatoes, corn, and more thrive in the warm summers. Meanwhile, leafy vegetables, lettuces, broccoli, carrots, and many herbs do well in the fall and winter. Fall is the perfect season to experience (and plant) the Florida panhandle’s vibrant wildflower display. Florida’s top four cash crops are tomatoes, oranges, sweet corn, and watermelon.

Access & Electricity

There is 500 feet of paved road frontage along the eastern boundary on New Jerusalem Road. There is also 475 feet of road frontage as well as electricity lines and poles along the western boundary.

Location

Less than ten minutes to Vernon, Florida, the property is close to a local market, dollar store, schools, churches, sports fields, eateries, a café, and a post office. The rural-suburban town features newly paved roads surrounded by beautiful grassy spaces and wooded areas.

Fishing, Hunting, and Outdoor Recreation

The property is located in one of Florida’s favorite destination spots, the Emerald Coast. This region is rich in natural wonders and fun attractions that bring visitors from around the globe. Unlike most of Florida, the terrain is rolling with dramatic hills and lush, diverse woodland. There are crystal-clear springs and large swaths of wild parkland. Just 30 miles from the property are some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, famous for white, “sugar sand “and dazzling emerald-blue Gulf water. It is a playground for those who love boating, fishing, and exploring the great outdoors.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love it here. There are too many lakes and recreation areas to count within a 30-mile radius. Explore around until you find your favorite. The property is less than 10 minutes from Hicks Lake and Lucas Lake, where anglers can fish for largemouth bass, bluegill, and crappie. Gap Lake, Porter Lake, and other local lakes are easy to access, with enough space to fish, swim, boat, picnic, and camp. White Oak Landing is another scenic favorite for spending the day outdoors.

This area has a healthy population of white-tailed deer, wild turkey, wild boars, alligators, and other small game and waterfowl. Hog Down Hunting in Vernon offers family-friendly camping and hunting experiences with tent and RV areas, firepits, shower facilities, an archery area, strategic blinds, and more!

If you’re looking for something different, The Swamp OffRoad Park, Sunny Hills Golf Club, Orange Hill Gator Farm, and DTF County Line MX all provide unique Florida experiences just a few minutes from the property. Vernon is also known for Hightower Springs, a beautiful clear-blue natural spring that bubbles up and flows into Holmes Creek. It’s a fantastic swimming hole during the summer.

Nearby Pine Log State Forest and Falling Waters State Park are just two more great options for hiking, camping, swimming, and other outdoor recreation. Falling Waters features Florida’s largest waterfall, falling 100 feet into a 73-foot sinkhole. This state park is so stunning that you’ll often see wedding ceremonies tucked among the ferns and towering trees. Likewise, Florida Caverns State Park lets you explore beneath the surface where stalactites and stalagmites seem to defy gravity.

The property is near what is considered some of "America's Best Beaches". Nearby Panama City Beach and Destin are a treasure trove of shopping and entertainment. If you’re longing for a beach day or an adrenaline-pumping saltwater fishing excursion, the white sand of Panama City Beach is less than an hour away. New housing developments and commercial expansion is in full tilt here. Just a few miles away the new Latitude Margaritaville resort community is building out. The area is one of the biggest real estate growth markets in the state. A recently built international airport (38 minutes from the property) has made access to the area seamless for travelers.  It’s exciting to be able to offer rare, unrestricted, large-acreage properties, in the path of this monumental growth. Real estate opportunity in momentum markets like this, is hard to come by.
