Land for Sale, 17923 NW 250TH, Okeechobee, Florida 34972

Prime residential lot opportunity in Okeechobee, Okeechobee County.

Situated in a desirable area, this property offers convenient access to The Boot of Okeechobee (approximately 1.97 miles), Dalmatia (1.79 miles), and Rea's house (2.04 miles). The lot is located in Flood Zone A, indicating a high risk area with a 1/100 annual chance of flooding. Construction in this zone typically requires elevating the lowest floor above the base flood elevation, using flood-resistant materials, and obtaining flood insurance, which can increase building costs by 10-20/100 or more. Additionally, wetlands classified as Freshwater Marshes / Graminoid Prairie - Marsh are present, subjecting any development to heavy restrictions under environmental regulations such as the Clean Water Act. Permits, wetland delineation, and mitigation may be required, which can add significant costs, cause delays, or limit the ability to build.

The property supports residential use but buyers must confirm allowable development including single-family homes or manufactured homes with the county. Buyer should verify all zoning, setbacks, utility availability, and development requirements with the Okeechobee County Planning & Zoning Department. The property is available for a self-guided tour. Subleasing is not permitted. This lot is not available for rent or lease.
