Discover the possibilities of country living, working from home and owning 7.25 acres of versatile agricultural property in Manatee County with a Wimauma address. This unique property features a 3-bedroom, 2-bath block home, a 6,000 square foot greenhouse/multi-purpose building, multiple wells, a natural spring-fed pond, a large workshop, and A (General Agriculture) zoning, offering an exceptional combination of land, infrastructure and flexibility for a variety of current and future uses. Immediate income potential exists for a buyer who chooses to continue the existing exotic tropical fish business. The versatile greenhouse and fully fenced acreage could also be adapted for a plant nursery, agricultural operation, storage for an automobile collection, hobby farm, horse property or space for growing fruit trees and vegetables. The possibilities are extensive and provide an opportunity to create a property tailored to your interests and goals. Located in an X flood zone, flood insurance is not required and there are no HOA or CDD fees. The home features an updated kitchen (2020), office/den, new roof (2022), leaf guard gutters (2025), new septic drain field and lift station (2020) and an inside laundry room with washer and dryer. French doors with blinds between the glass open to a large, newly screened lanai. Additional features include a covered outdoor storage area and an adjacent detached workshop/storage building. One of the property's most distinctive features is the 6,000 square foot greenhouse/multi-purpose building, consisting of a 2,000 square foot shop/storage area and a heated 4,000 square foot production area. The existing setup is well suited for aquaculture but could potentially be adapted for other agricultural, horticultural, nursery, storage or specialty uses. The acreage is supported by three wells. One deep well serves the home and includes a degasser, chlorinator and water softener. Two additional wells serve the greenhouse: a 50-foot shallow well providing acidic water and a 300-foot deep well providing hard/alkaline water. This existing water infrastructure is particularly well suited to aquaculture and other uses requiring different water characteristics. The greenhouse also includes six separate recirculation systems, six submersible pumps, an air compressor providing oxygen and aeration throughout the facility, floor drains for efficient maintenance and a Ryobi gasoline-powered backup generator to help maintain operations during power outages. A 2008 Yamaha gasoline-powered golf cart is included, making it easy to navigate the acreage and access the greenhouse. The natural spring-fed pond adds to the property's beauty and functionality. Whether your vision is to continue the existing aquaculture business, establish a new agricultural or specialty operation, create a hobby farm, develop a plant nursery, grow your own fruits and vegetables, keep horses or other permitted farm animals, store a vehicle collection or simply enjoy the space and privacy of 7.25 acres, this property offers a rare combination of land, improvements, and future possibilities.
