About this home
78 CR 540
This is more than just land—it’s a strategic investment along Bushnell’s emerging mixed-use commercial corridor on Highway 301. Priced at $595,000, this 9-acre corner parcel offers a rare chance to secure a key position in Sumter County’s future. Located just about 3 miles from I-75 and roughly 6 miles from the Florida Turnpike, this parcel offers unbeatable access. The property features an existing single-family home offering rental potential after a full rehab, and five grandfathered one-bedroom efficiencies also ripe for refurbishment. Three large storage structures add creative potential. With city water and sewer running along Hwy 301 infrastructure is set. With massive investments flowing into nearby industrial parks like Monarch Ranch, Rick Scott, and Marlene O’Toole, this property could be prime to serve the influx of jobs and businesses coming to the area. Developers can capitalize on the demand for services, retail, and even residential uses allowed under Bushnell’s General Commercial. Proximity to The Villages’ southward expansion, and Bushnell’s business-friendly environment, make this a pivotal piece for any forward-thinking investor. Whether you land bank or break ground, this parcel is your gateway to the next chapter of this mixed-use corridor. Please note that while showings of the land and single-family home can be easily arranged, any interior showings of the efficiencies require a minimum of 72 hours notice. This is a prime piece of land positioned right in the path of growth.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.

It is generated from public records, listing data and market modeling, and is subject to change once a licensed real estate professional personally inspects the property.
