Are you looking for affordable Florida land with no HOA?
This 1.11-acre lot in western FL is priced way below market and comes with very few restrictions.
Let me show you how one man saw freedom in the dirt, and how this 1.11-acre lot could do the same for you.
In 1938, a young German immigrant named Adolph Gortemoller stepped off a train in the Florida panhandle with just $10.
He staked what little he had on a patch of Florida pineland that had been stripped bare and left for dead.
Locals thought he was crazy.
Nothing grows out there anymore.
But Adolph had no plan B.
So he pushed forward.
But he was not prepared for what came next.
The soil was worn out.
His early plantings failed.
Storms ripped through the area.
But he didn't want to give up so quickly.
He studied the soil. Chose new crops.
His efforts helped spark a movement, one that would eventually lead to the creation of the Compass Lake Growers Association in 1941.
And the area around Compass Lake?
And then, planted something no one else had dared to try: Tung trees.
Little by little, those trees took root.
What was once cut-over pine land, stripped bare and left behind, began to bloom again.
And the man people once mocked?
He became one of the first to make that land work again.
It hasn't been the same since.
Today, just a few miles from where that transformation began, there's a quiet 1.11-acre ridge, still peaceful, still full of promise.
And like before, it's waiting for someone with the vision to see what it could become.
This lot sits on a quiet, tree-lined road, just minutes from Compass Lake, perfect for boating, kayaking, or simply unplugging.
Panama City Beach?
Less than an hour away.
Close enough for a day trip.
Far enough to feel like you're off the grid.
Power runs along the road.
Access is easy.
And with over an acre to work with, you've got space to build, grow, or just breathe.
And here's the best part, this land is high and dry, outside of flood zones, with no HOA, no annual dues, and no one telling you what you can or can't do with your own property.
But land like this doesn't sit around for long.
That's why we offer an 8 day hold, so you can secure the lot while you do your due diligence.
No pressure.
No risk.
Just a fair shot.
Simply click 'Buy or Hold' before someone else does.
Note: This property was acquired at a tax auction.
You can close through a title company (~$1,400), or save by closing directly with us via quitclaim deed.

âś… Easy financing đź’ł
✅ No middlemen 🧑‍💼
✅ Real land you can actually own 🌱
Q. Are there restrictions on what I can do with the property during the owner financing term?
A. Yes. You cannot build or live on the property until the end of the loan term when the title is
transferred over to you. However, you are able to use the property for recreational purposes and make minor
improvements (such as clearing, grading, fencing) so long as you are in compliance with all the local
rules & regulations. You'll also need written permission from the HOA authority if the property
is in an active HOA.
Q. Can I build whatever I want on this property after the title has been transferred over to me?
A. What you can or cannot build legally on this land is controlled by the local government.
Please contact the county and/or HOA, and provide them with the parcel number to confirm what you
can or cannot build on the property.
Q. Can I visit the property?
A. Of course! Please feel free to visit the property at any time.
There is no need to make an appointment with us.
Please note we own all the lots we sell and we are not real estate agents.
Since we are based out of New York, and own lots all over the U.S., we won’t be able to meet you at the lot.
Q. Does the property have an address?
A. Most of the properties we sell are rural and vacant, which means they usually don't have an address
unless specifically mentioned in the listing page. Please call the county for the procedure
to assign an address to the lot, if interested.
Q. Has the property been surveyed?
A. No, we have not had a survey commissioned, but if you would like to pay for a survey we would
be happy to work with your chosen surveyor.
Q. Can I park an RV on the property?
A. Some counties allow you to park an RV on a temporary basis only, others require you to install
a septic system first. If the property is in an HOA, RVs may not be allowed at all. Please contact the
county and/or HOA to confirm.
Q. Are the property taxes up to date?
A. We pay all tax bills as soon as we receive them, but you can always check with the
County Treasurer to verify that the taxes are current.
Q. Has a title search been done?
A. We usually do our own in-house due diligence before purchasing a property.
Depending on the chain of title, we may or may not purchase a title search or title insurance
when we buy a lot. With that said, we would never buy a property with a known title issue or lien.
We recommend you hire a title company to perform a title search and obtain title insurance before
buying any property.
Q. Do you work with title companies?
A. Yes, we are always happy to work with the title company of your choosing at buyer’s expense.
Please have them reach out to us directly to get the process started.
Q. How does the seller financing work?
A. With owner financing, we will sign a land contract that gives you legal right to use the property;
however, you won’t be able to pull any building permits during the loan term. Once the down payment and
doc fees are paid, we will send you a link to our third party loan servicing software, where you will make
monthly payments for the length of the loan term. After the loan is paid in full, we will then transfer
the title to you.
Q. How many people/entities can be included on the deed?
A. You can have as many people/entities listed on the deed as you would like.
Q. Can the deed be made out to an LLC?
A. Yes, the deed can be made out to an LLC or a corporation.
Q. Does the property come with mineral rights?
A. We buy all of our properties assuming that we only have the surface rights.
In order to determine whether a particular property has mineral rights, you will usually need to hire a
title company to specifically run a mineral rights search going all the way back to the original homestead.
Q. How do you deal with the transfer of title?
A. We will draft and record the deed transferring title to you as soon as the full purchase price
is paid. You may also elect to hire a title company to handle the deed transfer, but this will be at
buyer's expense.
Q. What are the benefits of purchasing with cash over seller financing?
A. We generally recommend that you purchase with cash so you can take advantage of the cash discount
price and never have to worry you will lose the property in a default. Having said this, we understand that
it can be hard to put together the funds to purchase a property outright. This is why we do try to offer
the most accessible owner financing possible. Please also note that a $9
monthly servicing fee will be added to each monthly payment, which is passed on to us from our third-party
loan servicing software. This is on top of the principal plus interest.
Q. Can I buy property from you if I’m not a US citizen?
A. Yes! The process is exactly the same for U.S. and non-U.S. citizens.
Simply fill out the Buy Or Hold form to get the process started.
Q. Are there additional fees associated with owner financing?
A. Each monthly payment will include an additional servicing fee of $9, which will cover the
Seller’s cost of servicing the loan. This monthly servicing fee will not be applied to the principal
or interest of the loan. Each monthly payment will also include an additional charge for the monthly
taxes and HOA dues (if applicable). This monthly charge will not be applied to the principal or
interest of the loan.
Q. Who pays for the taxes and HOA dues during the loan term?
A. We will pay the bills for both taxes and HOA dues as soon as the bill is received during the
loan term; however, both the taxes and HOA dues will be added to the monthly payments made by
the borrower.
We completed an extensive due diligence process on this lot, but we recommend you do your own research as well. Take the time to get to know your new property before purchasing – it could remain in your family for generations!
