About this home
24510 NE STATE RD 26
This is a rare chance to own two parcels of land on Lake Santa Fe. One lot (Parcel #18762-000-000) offers 17 acres, while the adjacent lot (Parcel #18762-001-001) has 11.49 acres. The possibilities are endless, with the property located right next to a 25-acre local boat ramp owned by Alachua County (24500 NE State Road 26 Melrose Florida). Perfect for stunning waterfront homesites or potential single-family lot development, the land sits directly on NE State Road 26 in Melrose, Florida. A roughly 1,200-foot canal connects straight to the lake and the public boat ramp. The property is currently zoned for Rural Agriculture which would allow 5 lots. City water & Clay electric on site, no sewer, will need septic.
