More land, lower price, no catch. We dropped the price AND added the second lot, so you now get both lots with this move-in ready 3-bedroom, 2-bath country home. This isn't a fixer. It's updated throughout and ready to go with a large kitchen, a primary suite that feels like your own retreat, and a screened porch and deck big enough for the whole family. Outside is where this place earns it. A big covered carport with room for the boat, the camper, the trailer, or all your weekend toys. No HOA, no CDD, and nobody sending you letters about what's parked in your yard. The land is yours. Private well means no water bill, septic in great shape means no sewer bill, metal roof (2020), new hot water heater, new windows, interior and exterior painting done, AC in great condition with new ductwork. Bonus: it's two lots combined into one acre. Keep it all for yourself, or down the road you could sell half or put a place on it for family. Country quiet, but only 10 minutes to downtown Jacksonville with quick access to major roads. A full acre under $235K this close to town doesn't come around often.
