Set within the wooded landscape of Royal Highlands, this nearly half-acre homesite offers an increasingly sought-after combination in Weeki Wachee: a paved road, public water available at the street, Flood Zone X, and the freedom of no HOA or CDD.Encompassing 21,748 square feet, the property offers generous dimensions and a naturally wooded setting, widening toward the rear to approximately 188 feet. With R1C residential zoning and no designated builder, the homesite provides flexibility to create a residence tailored to your vision, with room to consider a pool, outdoor living and additional improvements subject to county requirements.The infrastructure is equally compelling. Public water is available through Hernando County Utilities, electric service is provided in the area by Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative, and the paved frontage eliminates one of the common considerations found among vacant parcels throughout Royal Highlands. A private septic system will be required.Located in Flood Zone X, the property lies outside the designated Special Flood Hazard Area, while its unincorporated Hernando County location means no city tax layer. With 2025 property taxes of approximately $320, carrying costs remain remarkably modest.Royal Highlands is prized for its larger wooded homesites, peaceful residential character and absence of HOA and CDD restrictions, all while remaining connected to the best of Florida's Nature Coast. Weeki Wachee Springs, the Weekiwachee Preserve, Gulf Coast recreation, Pine Island and the shopping, dining and medical services along the US-19 corridor are all within reach.Whether envisioned as the site of a future Florida home or held as land in one of Hernando County's growing residential corridors, 12410 Barnevelde Road represents an opportunity to secure space, flexibility and location at an approachable price.
