Commercial Land for Sale in Leesburg, Florida
Whitney Rd & State Road 44 Rd, Leesburg, FL 34748
This is a unique opportunity to acquire +-7 acres with exceptional visibility at the signalized corner of State Road 44 and Whitney Road--located in a fast-growing corridor just minutes from The Villages. The property features approximately 692 feet of frontage on SR 44 and offers excellent positioning for future development. Currently zoned Agricultural, the site will require annexation into the City of Leesburg and appropriate land use and zoning changes to support new development. Surrounded by properties zoned Industrial, the location is well-suited for commercial or light industrial uses, subject to approvals. An additional +-33-acre parcel is available nearby (MLS #: G5053822), offering expanded development options for larger-scale projects. The location offers strong regional connectivity and is just minutes from Lake Deaton Plaza (home to Publix, Walgreens, and Hooters), the nearly completed Walmart Supercenter, and downtown Leesburg approximately ten minutes away. Major roadways including US Hwy 27 and the Florida Turnpike are easily accessible to the west, with Orlando just an hour away and Tampa within 90 minutes. With strong surrounding growth and increasing commercial demand, this is a rare chance to secure a corner parcel in one of Central Florida's most active development corridors.
