Sold - Interlachen, FL - two Florida plat lots on dirt roads

Thousands of lots were sold off a plat here and never built on.

Interlachen Lakes Estates is one of the big Florida plat subdivisions of the 1960s and 70s, where thousands of quarter-acre lots were sold off a map and most were never built on. A lot like this has no address, no water, no sewer and no HOA, so the work is confirming what a buyer can actually do with it.

For each lot we pulled the county records into a due diligence report: zoning (R-2, which allows a house or a mobile home), utilities (well and septic needed, power from FPL), the road (dirt but county-maintained), taxes, and GPS corners. On one lot we paid for a title search, and it came back clean: no open mortgage, lien or judgment.

We held both lots, then sold them together, with three other Putnam lots, to a single land investor in July 2024.

On a plat lot, the report is the product.

On an old Florida plat lot, the work is confirming what a buyer can do. There is no address, water, sewer or HOA. One report per lot, covering zoning, utilities, the road, taxes and GPS corners, answered the questions before a buyer had to ask them.

A title search is worth it on a lot that has changed hands often. The Janet Ave lot had passed through a tax deed, a quitclaim and several warranty deeds. The search came back clean, and that is what a buyer needs to see.

Read the legal description for split rights. The Janet Ave lot is subject to a separately owned subsurface-rights parcel. It does not stop a house, but a buyer should know it is there.

We held these too long. Our own review afterward: small lots like these are slow, and these two sat for months before selling together with three others to one investor.

What we checked, and where each answer came from.

The diligence file as it stood at closing, including anything still open.
