Property Description
PRICE REDUCTION! Nestled in the elevated terrain of northwest Gainesville, this exceptional 17.51-acre tract at 8543 NW 71st Terrace rises to approximately 180 feet above sea level — making it one of the highest-elevation parcels in the region. A generous buildable zone on the northwest end of the property offers an ideal pad for your custom home or estate, while the deeper reaches of the parcel reveal a stunning natural backdrop as ravines gently descend toward the bordering preserved woods of the adjacent San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park and its thriving ecosystem. Under a mature hardwood and pine canopy you’ll discover an enviable forager’s landscape graced with wild mushrooms (lion’s mane, turkey tail, chanterelles), patches of wild turmeric, and brambles of wild raspberries and blackberries — a true seasonal harvest on your own acreage. Wildlife is abundant: deer, waterfowl and other species wander in from the preserve, making this land ideal for recreational pursuits like hunting, observing nature, or designing your own private wetlands. Incredibly, this secluded nature retreat sits just minutes from Gainesville and its amenities — offering both serenity and convenience. Whether you envision a private nature estate, a retreat for wildlife-oriented recreation or a long-term land investment, this rare parcel combines elevation, ecological richness and location like few others. Showings by appointment only.
