This is a rare find. A nearly 2,700-square-foot home on a one-acre lot in a prime location for $420,000, with three ways to make it yours: move in and make it home, renovate it into the dream house you have been picturing, or reimagine the acre as a multi-parcel investment. Sitting right on Neptune Road, this property puts you squarely between St. Cloud and Kissimmee, two miles from the Florida Turnpike and a straight shot to Orlando, Lake Nona, and the coast. Land like this, this close in, does not come up often. The 1964 block home has 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths across roughly 2,658 square feet once you count the additions, and the layout already does the heavy lifting. A screened front porch opens to an oversized living and dining combo, walls of sliding glass to the former greenhouse, an updated kitchen with newer cabinetry and solid counters, and a family room that flows to an enclosed lanai and bonus room. The primary suite has its own en-suite bath and walk-in shower, with two more bedrooms and a second full bath on the main floor. Here is the part investors will circle: a separate upstairs quarters with its own private entrance, full living area, and full bath. Think in-law suite, long-term rental, or a home that helps pay for itself. Three ways to win here: Live in it. The bones are solid and the recent flooring and kitchen work give you a running start. Bring your vision, build real sweat equity, and end up with a one-of-a-kind acre homestead for near starter-home money. Flip it. The updates are already underway and this corridor rewards a clean, thoughtful renovation. Finish what is started and step into instant upside. Build on it. The one-acre parcel (210x200) is already assembled from multiple recorded lots in Neptune Shores and carries ORS1 residential zoning, no HOA, and a Flood Zone X designation. Run your numbers on a tear-down and subdivide into 2 to 4 new single-family lots (buyer to verify zoning, utilities, and lot-split feasibility with Osceola County). Outside is its own selling point. The grounds are a living food forest: avocado, pineapple, guava, and elderberries, plus Golden Chain trees and Rain Lilies. Add an attached one-car garage, a flex room with front and side-yard access, and a storage shed, and the utility matches the charm. Best of all, there is no HOA, so you set the rules on your acre without a board or monthly dues weighing in. Homes with this mix of location, land, and upside tend to move fast. Whether you want to move in, cash in, or break ground, 1730 Neptune Road is a rare canvas. Sold strictly as-is, ready for your vision.
