Land Use Ideas: 5 Acres in Saint Augustine

Consider this aerial view. Consider the layouts on this page and elsewhere. Think what you could accomplish with up to 5 acres of undivided, highly buildable land with marsh views in historic Saint Augustine, complete with its own spring. Build your dream home, your personal estate, or a number of premium investment grade building lots. There is a fully-drawn layout of 13 lots on just part of the property right here (pdf file). Put your imagination to work right now, because pretty soon someone is going to see the terrific potential of this property, at this price, and snap it up. Don't be left saying "Why didn't I think of that?"

Unique land investment opportunity

The following diagrams indicate some of the ways in which this land could be used. They are a way to visualize the scale of possibilities, starting with an idea of how easily this land would accommodate a truly grand estate-sized home (in the 10,000 to 20,000 square foot range). The diagram shows a new home (with a footprint of 10,000 square feet) nicely situated to use the existing home as a guest house and make use of the existing pool and spa.

If you would prefer to live in the existing home and really make the rest of the land work for you, here is how you could accomodate 13 homes while retaining your privacy (note that you can download a detailed pdf drawing of this layout by clicking here--an Autocad version is available on request):

Want fewer neighbors and a coimplete makeover? Here is how you might accommodate 7 homes of 4,800 footprint each (i.e. up to 10,000 square feet in finished interior footage if you went to three floors).

If you want to go the full development route, here is how you might accommodate 23 homes.

If you want to go the full development route, here is how you might accommodate 20 homes.

If you prefer town home development, which arguably has the lowest environmental impact for any given residential density here is how you might accommodate 36 homes.
