What You're Actually Getting

Discover incredible space and potential with this massive 1.35-acre residential lot located at 217 Captiva Way NE in the established and highly sought-after Placid Lakes community of Lake Placid, FL. Offering nearly 59,000 square feet of vacant land, this expansive property is exceptionally rare for the area and provides an incredible canvas for a large estate home, a spacious yard, outbuildings, and ultimate privacy.

A standout feature of this property is its impressive 122-foot elevation. Located safely in Flood Zone X, this lot is situated high and dry outside the 1% annual chance floodplain. This premium elevation ensures a secure, rock-solid foundation where costly flood insurance is typically not required. The property is zoned R1 for Single Family Residential, providing a clear path to building a traditional site-built home or modular home (mobile/manufactured homes are not permitted). Best of all, you will enjoy complete ownership freedom with no HOA or POA fees tying you down.

Lake Placid, the "Town of Murals," offers a charming small-town lifestyle surrounded by stunning natural beauty. You are just a short drive from the pristine waters of Lake June in Winter Scrub Preserve State Park and the ancient oaks of Highlands Hammock State Park. When you need city amenities or world-class entertainment, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Orlando, and Sebring are all within a reasonable commute via nearby US HWY-27. With county-maintained road access and electricity available through Duke Energy or Glades Electric, this massive high-elevation parcel is an unmatched opportunity to build your Florida dream home.

The Visionary

Juliana Scolari

"I founded Golden Ridge because I saw a gap in the market that was leaving good people behind. Banks rarely finance raw land. Traditional real estate isn't designed for land buyers. Golden Ridge Partners changes that dynamic. I built this company to be the solution. Meaning you get the land you want without ever needing a bank’s permission. By deploying my own capital, I act as the lender, offering you simple owner financing that bypasses the banking system entirely"
