This highly strategic 2.42-acre assemblage presents a rare multi-parcel development opportunity at the northeast corner of E Norvell Bryant Hwy (CR 486) and Crooked Branch Drive, directly across from Citrus County’s most active commercial expansion zone. Offering over 352 feet of prime frontage along CR 486, the site boasts dual road exposureand wraps the intersection with full median-cut access, ensuring seamless ingress and egress along one of the county’s most visible corridors. E Norvell Bryant Hwy supports an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of approximately 22,000 vehicles, making it one of the highest-trafficked arteries in the region—ideal for high-exposure commercial, medical, or mixed-use development. The property features gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging from 76 to 103 feet and well-drained Arredondo fine sand soils, with average slopes of 7–16%. Situated entirely within Flood Zone X, it poses no floodplain development restrictions and offers favorable drainage conditions, reducing site preparation costs and simplifying the grading process. County water is available at the frontage, while sewer service is accessible nearby within the utility district, subject to standard connection and assessment approvals. The dual-corner configuration, combined with clean topography, allows for exceptional design flexibility—accommodating multiple building pads, ample parking, and efficient circulation patterns. Located just two parcels east of the signalized intersection of CR 486 and CR 491, the site is surrounded by top-tier national retailers, including Walmart, Target, ALDI, Panera Bread, and Texas Roadhouse—positioning it at the heart of Citrus County’s most dynamic medical and retail corridor. Zoned PSO (Professional Services/Office), the assemblage supports a broad spectrum of permitted uses including medical and professional offices, outpatient clinics, urgent care and therapy centers, mental health and wellness providers, pharmacies, financial institutions, daycares, and convenience retail without fuel service. With Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval, the site may also accommodate multifamily residential development of up to 10 units per acre—supporting a vertically integrated live/work or senior housing concept. The immediate trade area is underserved in diagnostic imaging, outpatient therapy, and boutique medical services, highlighting a market gap well-suited to this location’s use potential. Citrus County, part of the Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater MSA, is undergoing rapid demographic growth, with its population projected to more than double by 2030—from 155,000 to over 350,000 residents.

Within a 5-mile radius, the site serves a population of over 66,000 residents, with a median age of 60 and a median household income exceeding $65,000.

This confluence of visibility, infrastructure, and unmet market demand positions the property as a premier site for a professional, medical, or hybrid development that meets the region’s growing service needs.
