This exceptional 3,425-acre development site in Putnam County, Florida, presents a unique investment opportunity. Strategically located on Highway 17 between Green Cove Springs and Palatka, this property boasts 6200 feet of highway frontage and benefits significantly from the ongoing $2 billion Outer Beltway project, connecting Clay and Putnam Counties to Jacksonville's major employment centers and the Durbin Park Plaza.

The property is zoned IN & AG-2, with over 300 acres potentially suitable for industrial use. The asking price is $39,000,000, translating to $11,387 per acre.
