Finding one with this level of privacy, usable land, and agricultural zoning is even rarer. Situated on 4.61 acres in Plant City's rural countryside, this nearly 2,900-square-foot (personal Oasis) residence was formerly utilized as an ornamental tree farm and showcases rows of mature trees that create a shaded canopy and natural sense of seclusion rarely found in today's market. An oval-shaped pond area further enhances the landscape and contributes to the property's unique outdoor setting.Why drive hours to escape the city when the adventure starts in your own front yard?Nearly five acres provide room to explore, ride, camp, gather, and enjoy the outdoors in a way few residential properties can match. Park an RV beneath the mature tree canopy, enjoy evenings under the stars, or simply appreciate the feeling of having your own private retreat. Inside, the split-bedroom floor plan offers exceptional flexibility. The oversized primary suite serves as a private retreat, while five bedrooms and three full bathrooms provide room for guests, home offices, hobbies, or multi-generational living. Recent improvements include a 2016 roof, two newer AC units, and energy-efficient double-pane windows. Agriculturally zoned, the property offers flexibility for a variety of rural and agricultural pursuits. The current owner is not utilizing Florida's Agricultural (Greenbelt) Classification; however, qualifying future owners may wish to explore potential agricultural classification and associated property tax benefits. Buyers should independently verify eligibility requirements with the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser. Conveniently located with easy access to Tampa, Lakeland, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, and the freedom that comes with owning your own slice of Old Florida.

Zoning, Tax & Opportunity

What this property makes possible

This property carries a zoning classification that opens doors most residential listings simply cannot. Here is what buyers should know, and what to verify.

Zoning

AS-0.4 Agricultural Single-Family Estate

Hillsborough County's agricultural estate classification is intended for larger residential properties with rural and agricultural-style uses. At 4.61 acres, this parcel exceeds the standard 2.5-acre threshold.

Potential permitted uses include:

  • Single-family residential living
  • Horses and livestock, subject to county rules
  • Barns, workshops, agricultural buildings
  • Tree farming, nursery, or ornamental plant use
  • Crop production and hobby farming
  • Home occupations, subject to county rules

Greenbelt Tax Classification

Potential for significant annual property tax savings

In Florida, qualifying agricultural land may be assessed based on its agricultural use value rather than full market value. This is not a zoning change or exemption. It is a separate tax classification.

Qualifying uses may include:

  • Ornamental tree farming
  • Nursery operations
  • Crop production
  • Pasture use
  • Other bona fide agricultural activity

Short-Term Rental Potential

Airbnb and retreat-style use worth exploring

Several properties in the surrounding area appear to operate as short-term rentals. Given the acreage, rural setting, and privacy this property offers, buyers interested in Airbnb or retreat-style use may want to investigate further.

The property's combination of mature trees, pond, open land, and five-bedroom layout could appeal to guests seeking a private rural escape near Tampa, Lakeland, and Central Florida attractions.

Important: Short-term rental use is not guaranteed. Buyer must independently verify all STR rules, licensing requirements, tax requirements, occupancy limits, and zoning compliance with Hillsborough County and applicable local authorities.

Do your own due diligence

Questions to ask Hillsborough County
