0.20 Acre Build-Ready Lot in Sun 'N Lakes, Lake Placid
What You're Actually Getting
Embrace the relaxed Florida lifestyle with this fantastic 0.20-acre build-ready lot located at 205 Sunny Side Dr in the highly desirable Sun 'N Lakes subdivision of Lake Placid, FL. Situated in beautiful Highlands County, this property offers approximately 8,565 square feet of prime, vacant land zoned R1 for single-family residential construction. With a solid elevation of 103 feet, the property sits high and dry in Flood Zone X, meaning it's outside the 1% annual chance floodplain and typically requires no flood insurance. A corner lot with frontage on two streets: Moon Glow Ave, which is paved and county-maintained, and Sunnyside Dr, an unpaved public right-of-way. Quiet and rural, while remaining connected to essential amenities.
Lake Placid, famously known as the "Town of Murals" and the "Caladium Capital of the World," provides a charming small-town atmosphere surrounded by pristine freshwater lakes perfect for boating, fishing, and water sports. You'll enjoy the peace of mind of having no HOA fees, allowing you the freedom to build your dream home on your timeline. While the lot offers a peaceful retreat, you are still within easy driving distance to major Florida attractions, including Highlands Hammock State Park, and less than a two-hour drive to world-class entertainment in Orlando (SeaWorld, Universal Studios) and Tampa (Busch Gardens). With electricity available nearby through Duke or Glades Electric, this property is a blank canvas awaiting your vision.

"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"
