Ready for Development lot in Inverness

Prime residential lot opportunity in Inverness, Citrus County, located at 13254 E SHAWNEE TRL. Situated near local recreation with a park approximately 0.46 miles away and Rutland Park just 0.91 miles away, plus convenient access to highways around 2.01 miles. Additional nearby locations include Sumter Air & Heat Inc (1.98 miles) and Decco Crete LLC (1.81 miles). The lot is located in Flood Zone AE, a high-risk Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) with a 1/100 annual chance of flooding. Building requires elevation of the lowest floor above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE), use of flood-resistant materials, and mandatory flood insurance. Development may face strict local permitting, potential restrictions on fill dirt or structures in the floodway, and increased construction costs (often 10-20/100+ higher). There is also Wetland Impact (Stream and Lake Swamps/Bottomland) indicating protected wetlands under federal regulations (Clean Water Act). Any development typically requires a Section 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and state environmental review. Building is often restricted or prohibited to avoid impacts; if allowed, expect mandatory mitigation (e.g., creating wetlands elsewhere at 2:1 or higher ratios), environmental assessments, and possible loss of significant buildable acreage. This can delay projects by months/years and add substantial costs. Buyer should verify all zoning, setbacks, utility availability, flood/wetland requirements, and development limitations with Citrus County. The property is available for a self-guided tour. Subleasing is not permitted. This lot is not available for rent or lease.
