Where the Acreage Is

Most rural property is in western Fort Pierce and unincorporated St. Lucie County along Okeechobee Road, Orange Avenue, Midway Road and Angle Road, mostly in zips 34945 and 34951. North of town, the Indrio area has larger lots too - see Indrio.

What to Check on Rural Property

  • Zoning and land use - agricultural zoning controls lot splits, animals and a second dwelling. Confirm with St. Lucie County before you buy.
  • Well and septic - get a well water test and a septic inspection.
  • Drainage district - much of the area is inside a water control or drainage district, which adds an assessment to the tax bill.
  • Flood zone, access road and survey - private or dirt-road access and unrecorded easements are common.
  • Agricultural exemption - a greenbelt classification can lower taxes but has to be applied for and kept up.

Financing

Country homes can be harder to finance than a subdivision home: acreage limits, outbuildings, manufactured homes and the appraiser's comparables all play a part. Some rural addresses may qualify for USDA financing. Call with the address and we will tell you what fits.
