SWEET 1.067-acre lot, mid/upscale, established neighborhood.

REDUCED price well below comparable area land sales.  Build your house the way YOU want it, without expensive remodeling and so that you KNOW its construction.

For sale is a large 1.067-acre lot in an established, mid-to-upscale neighborhood in sweet, sweet Dover (early Mt. Dora-like), Florida, one of the few towns just south of the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Lakeland, where large residential lots and graceful farmland provide room to breathe and the serenity of lovely rural surroundings while still being a short commute to Tampa and Lakeland. This location will be even more desirable once the commuter-rail system is constructed between Tampa and Orlando, expanding speed and freedom of movement for business/livelihood and pleasure purposes.  Dover is growing, but not congested.  There are many amenities in Dover (new Loews, etc.) and just down the road in Plant City.  Build your dream home on this affordable lot in Dover, a very desirable location (millionaire subdivisions nearby). 

Lot 3 (of 6, Gavin Estates, Hillsborough County) measures 152' (frontage) x 305.83' (depth), not including the setback from Pittman Road, and is zoned ACS-1 (Agricultural Single Family Conventional, 1 unit per acre).  Lot 3 is situated deep into a well-established, paved-road neighborhood containing homes measuring 2,000 sf++ on large one-acre+ lots, many of which are graced by horses. The deed is restricted to site-built homes (no mobile/manufactured), 1,600 sf-minimum, so combined with the Lot's location in the neighborhood, there's no need for guesswork and angst about the impact of surrounding changes having an adverse impact on the value of your home.

An easy 20-minute commute to Tampa (closest) or Lakeland, Dover is a quiet, friendly township established well over 100 years ago as a farming community. Having avoided the rampant growth and development foibles of nearby Tampa and Orlando for many years, Dover's population has only recently begun to increase noticeably, and its development appears to be carefully managed to retain Dover's charm. In recent years, Dover has been targeted by successful professionals and businesspersons for the construction of their homes due to Dover's relaxing country lifestyle, predominantly gracious Southern etiquette and abiding respect for Dover's history and character, attainable acreage, and easy commute to metropolitan West and Central Florida. Dover is perfect for retirement couples or families wishing to raise their children and pets in a setting reminiscent of the unspoiled, old-Florida landscape so many long-time Florida natives miss while still having easy access to all the urban conveniences both inside and outside Dover. Attend the annual Strawberry Festival in Plant City, just down the road, or kick up your heals in the nightlife of Ybor/Tampa. West coast beaches as well as Tampa and Orlando theme parks are in easy reach.

Features/depth are tough to capture by camera because the lot is blanketed with grass and the lots behind and to the right of Lot 3 are vacant.  Third photo is of a surveyor on the right-side property line and his tall partner (6'4" tall) is in the background, standing at the back-right corner of Lot 3.  Neighbor's shed in background (Lot 5) of third photo is about 3 feet from that neighbor's backyard boundary line which is same boundary line between Lot 3 and Lot 4.  Fourth photo is from back right-corner boundary stake (where the surveyor's partner was standing in third photo) looking toward Pittman Road/frontage. Fifth photo is of house facing Lot 3 on Pittman Road. 

From I-4, take Exit 17 and go south on Branch Forbes Road .5 miles to US 92 (turn right), then 2.3 miles to Moores Lake Road (turn left), 1.3 miles to Haynes Road (turn right), then .3 miles to Pittman Road (turn left) to Lot 3.
