Build your dream home in the exclusive gated community of Alafia Preserve. This exceptional 1.03-acre homesite is the largest lot in the community, offering a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. As a significant value-added benefit, the sale includes a custom home plan specifically designed for this property, already approved by the HOA, along with a no-rise certification—potentially saving the future owner considerable time, expense, and effort during the planning and building process. Surrounded by mature trees and peaceful conservation areas, this property provides a serene setting where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature while remaining just minutes from shopping, dining, and major commuter routes. Alafia Preserve is an intimate community of only 25 homesites nestled along the Alafia River, featuring a gated entrance, community river access, and a private park for residents. The property is fully equipped with underground utilities, including water, sewer, TECO gas, electric, and cable. Residents enjoy the benefits of the community's amenities and river access with a low monthly HOA fee, along with a one-time $1,000 capital contribution fee due at closing. Whether you're ready to build now or planning for the future, this is a unique opportunity to own one of the most desirable homesites in Alafia Preserve and create a truly custom residence in one of Brandon's most distinctive communities.
