12012 Baytree Dr., Riverview, FL 33569

A FULL ACRE WITHOUT DEED RESTRICTIONS, fenced and gated, holds the key to this unusual property that boasts a new well pump and new leaching fields for the septic system. Bring your pets, big toys, and work vehicles to a location near suburban conveniences but with the rural freedom to expand or rebuild completely. The existing home is a hodgepodge of recent improvements and "needs improvement," from stainless-steel appliances to unfinished floors, from an updated electrical panel to outdated materials. Nearly 1,900 SF begins with a large kitchen, dining and living spaces, plus two bedrooms and bathrooms on one level, then a 500-SF family room with dramatic fireplace on a step-down level. That room extends to an unfinished storage room or workshop, which then steps up to another bedroom or bonus room in back. You'll need cash and the willingness to take on real work if you want to make this your own slice of paradise. The rewards, however, might prove well worth it!
