8230 LENOX AVENUE, Jacksonville, FL, 32221 | $699,990

This sizeable acreage property in Duval County offers a unique combination of house, land, and natural features near Jacksonville. The main residence is a 3–bedroom, 2–bathroom brick home built in 1987, with approximately 3, 200 square feet under roof and about 2, 600 square feet heated and cooled. The living space is open with high ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace provides a cozy focal point. A 200-square-foot Florida room overlooks the backyard and pool, offering a pleasant view of the grounds.
The property extends beyond the house. It sits on one of the larger privately owned parcels in the area, giving significant acreage for family use, recreation, or — depending on planning and zoning approvals — potential for additional homesites or development. A continuously flowing creek runs the entire length of the tract, offering a natural feature that enhances privacy and ambiance. Mature large oak trees and longleaf pines form a buffer between this property and surrounding developments, contributing to a secluded feel even though the property is close to urban infrastructure.
Access to the property is very convenient. It lies less than a mile from I-295 and about one mile from I-10, providing quick routes to downtown Jacksonville and major regional locations. The driveway is a winding asphalt millings driveway, which leads through the property and connects to the main road, supplying a private drive to the home and outbuildings. On-site there is also a 24-by-30-foot metal building that can serve as storage, workshop, or utility building depending on owner needs.
Outdoor amenities include a private pool and the natural creek frontage, along with ample open land shaded by mature trees. The house’s layout and amenities make it suitable as a comfortable residence while the generous acreage offers opportunities for outdoor recreation, gardening, estate-style living, or subdivision — if allowed by future planning and zoning. Its location places the property within the Duval County school system, with schools close by. Meanwhile, shopping, restaurants, and urban conveniences are just around the corner, and downtown Jacksonville is only minutes away.
This listing combines a substantial residence with wide open acreage and a mix of natural and developed amenities. The creek, wooded buffer, and open land provide a sense of privacy and potential, while the house, pool, driveway, and storage building supply ready-to-use infrastructure. For buyers seeking acreage near Jacksonville with living space, land, natural features, and flexibility for future use, this property offers a noteworthy opportunity.
