About this home

1409 LaVilla Road, Punta Gorda, FL 33950 4.65 Acres | RMF-5 Zoning | 2021 Custom Barn/Paddock | Separate Living Quarters | Gated Estate | No Wetlands A rare opportunity to own 4.65 acres of 100% usable land in Punta Gorda with desirable RMF-5 multifamily zoning, offering exceptional flexibility for future development, investment, multigenerational living, equestrian use, or a private estate. A custom barn/paddock built in 2021 with concrete floor, power and water further enhances the property’s versatility. The property also includes an approximately 1,000-square-foot attached mother-in-law suite/separate living quarters with private entrance, full kitchen and full bath. With independent access or entry through the main garage area, this space is ideal for extended family, guests, office, fitness space, or other permitted uses. Tucked behind a gated entrance and winding private drive, the property offers peaceful country seclusion just minutes from downtown Punta Gorda, I-75, SR 17, boating, dining, shopping and Southwest Florida’s Gulf Coast lifestyle. Once part of a historic Chilean pineapple farm, the acreage is framed by mature heritage oaks, producing mango trees, split-rail fencing with hog fencing and wide-open usable grounds. With no wetlands and RMF-5 zoning offering potential density of up to approximately 23 residential units based on acreage, subject to governmental approvals, density calculations and development requirements, the land presents compelling possibilities for investors and developers. The main residence features an open floor plan with brick propane fireplace, generous dining area and updated kitchen with Quartzite countertops, four-seat island with storage, Revel workstation sink and updated fixtures. Two oversized outdoor living areas—one screened and one enclosed with approximately 9-foot sliders—overlook the acreage. A flexible first-floor bedroom/office/gym is paired with a renovated full bath featuring a walk-in shower. The attached four-car garage/workshop provides exceptional space for vehicles, equipment, hobbies and storage. Additional property features include a chicken coop with dual automatic doors, oversized farm gates, RV hookup and concrete RV pad. Major improvements include a 2023 roof with heavy-duty architectural shingles, three new HVAC systems in 2024, 15 hurricane-impact windows, new LVP flooring throughout the main residence and apartment in 2024, updated water-heating systems, remodeled kitchen, renovated first-floor bath and custom architectural railing added in 2026. This is more than a residence—it is 4.65 acres of strategically located Punta Gorda land with RMF-5 zoning, custom barn/paddock, separate living quarters and an established estate already in place. The land is the opportunity. The flexibility makes it exceptional. Square footage is based on a previous MLS listing and should be independently verified by Buyer and/or Buyer’s representative.
