Manatee Bay 24 Acres Valuable Waterfront Vacant Land Florida Keys U.S. Route 1, Homestead, FL
Special Purpose / Other
Vacant Land
Property Description
Rare opportunity to acquire nearly 24 acres of pristine waterfront land in Manatee Bay / South Miami-Dade County, ideal for the proposed development of a one-of-a-kind Eco-Tourism Resort. The concept envisions multiple elevated tree-top villas, a central lodge with a pool and restaurant, scenic elevated walkways, boat slips, and on-site parking — all designed to highlight the natural beauty of the surrounding wetlands. The property is currently zoned GU - Interim District, located outside the Urban Development Boundary, and carries a Southeast Wetlands environmental designation. Any development would require land-use and zoning amendments through Miami-Dade County. This parcel offers a visionary investor or developer the chance to pioneer an eco-resort experience unlike anything currently found in the County — balancing sustainable tourism with environmental stewardship.
Area Description
Directions: From U.S. 1 (South Dixie Highway), head south toward Key Largo. Property is located just north of the Monroe County line, near Manatee Bay, and east of U.S.1 (SR 5) at approximately Mile Marker 112.
