Private owner seeking to make a full exchange of ownership on two adjacent undeveloped residential homesite lots held near growing community of North Port in SW Florida (Sarasota County), close to Port Charlotte, just to the south, for inland undeveloped rural acreage held by an individual private owner and available in one of the counties bordering along or in close proximity to the northwest through northeast Florida Gulf coast, as well as within those southernmost counties of Alabama and Georgia lying immediately adjacent to the Florida state line and north Florida panhandle region. The two lots in North Port have already been completely paid for, and the owner holds the title and deed for them in his name alone, free and clear of any purchase contract, liens, taxes, or further monies owed, and has full legal documentation in the latter regard to present to any prospective private owner considering making an exchange of properties. Thus, the rural property, which would be offered in *like-value exchange (explanation below), must also possess the same status of full private ownership, be free and clear of any and all financial obligation or debt, and offer complete documentation verifying the latter two considerations. (In due course, all important details on the actual process relating to change of legal title for the properties may be worked out between the two owners themselves, who would remain in direct contact throughout the entire endeavor, discussing and deciding between one another beforehand how and when to proceed each step of the way.) In addition, the rural acreage being sought must have the following general characteristics: 1) be located on high ground, dry land, and no closer than several miles proximity, nor farther inland than approximately a one hour’s drive, to the Gulf coast; 2) possess principal access in and out by a good asphalt county roadway, as well as satisfactory direct travel to the site via a good hard-packed secondary road free of any large holes or other obstructions to vehicular travel; 3) offer at least one open, level, and clear space which would be suitable in size for placement of a dwelling and outdoor storage/utility shed, covering an area of no less than half an acre; electrical power and telephone service hookup in relatively close proximity, and within a line extension range which would be acceptable to the power and telephone company; and direct access to a continual supply of fresh and potable county and/or private well water; and 4) while the presence of a natural spring water pond would be okay, the land must not include, nor border upon, a low and unusable wetland area, such as a marsh, swamp, or bog, which remains continually submerged in water. Owner will provide full details upon contact in regard to his land in North Port, but should one wish to seek added details on his own, please visit the Sarasota County Government’s Geographic Information Systems (SCGIS) web page at gis.scgov.net, click on “Interactive Maps,” then note the “Online Interactive Maps” category listing, and while scrolling down and looking to the right, click on the one entitled, “Aerial Image Viewer.” Afterward, at the latter page and under “Find,” click “PID-Parcel ID,” inserting in the box that appears parcel ID number 1008-25-2523 or 1008-25-2524. And lastly, click “Find Parcel,” for a basic land data profile including the county appraiser’s assessment of the just (market) value of each lot, aerial views of the two lots (10,004 sq. ft. each) on Oakley Road, and owner’s postal contact address. [**Look below for added guidance if the latter details are not produced for the viewer within about ten to fifteen seconds.] Although not apparent in the latest profile, however, are the remarkable gains in market value which the lots have achieved over recent years and are sure to continue to make in the years ahead, as development progresses in the subdivision as well as throughout North Port! Located beyond the coast and side-by-side, the two lots, with immediate nearby boating access through an intricate internal network of interconnecting manmade waterways to both regional freshwater streams via the adjacent Myakka and Peace river systems, and the saltwater Gulf via Charlotte Bay off Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda, offer an excellent investment opportunity, as well as an option for the owner to build and settle in a budding municipal area near the Gulf coast. The location provides a wonderfully diverse range of community services and leisure activities available to residents, including: comprehensive-care hospital, dental, and veterinary services, exceptional schools and colleges, well-organized and receptive public libraries with latest resources, and expanding regional and international airports; full range of grocery and consumer goods shopping, popular quick-stop eateries, and first-rate dining spots and restaurants; comforting and therapeutic warm water springs; well-designed and accommodating public golf courses, tennis courts, and swimming facilities; distinctive and highly regarded private membership country clubs with complete amenities and services; year-round freshwater and saltwater boating, fishing, kayaking, and swimming (with natural white sandy Gulf and inland freshwater river and lake beaches); and the relaxing solitude and diversion of well-situated, beautiful, and secluded public national, state, and local parks and wilderness nature trails, that possess an abundance of endlessly unique, attractive, and exotic wild aquatic and land species of birds, mammals, and plants and flowers for the outdoor enthusiast and nature lover, naturalist, and hiker. Also, plan to visit North Port, FL online for much added current informative detail on the young and developing city and its most uncommon and engaging surrounding area and activities for all ages, including up-to-date regional and area maps which present one with a good geographic perspective on the location of North Port and other notable SW FL towns and cities which lie nearby or in relatively close range and travel distance. [Explanatory Notes: *1) a like-value exchange of properties is meant to be interpreted as follows: in effect, if my two lots are considered by the Sarasota County property appraiser as presently possessing a certain just (market) or assessed value (as expressed within the “basic land data profile” referred to above, and now placed at a total of $67,000 for the two together), and a rural landowner with available land would view the latter total sum as being a practical and usable measure of net worth, then it would also be appropriate for him to reference the latest just (market) or assessed value of his own property from annual statements provided by his county property appraiser or tax assessor, and afterward, proceed to calculate or judge how much of his acreage he would regard as representing the same amount in monetary value as my property; develop a definite proposal based upon the latter comparative assessment of values he has decided upon; and lastly, extend a clear and specific offer, which would include both the amount of acreage, as well as a good description of the location, he wishes to exchange for mine (and if photos are unavailable online, some attached to an email would be especially helpful and appreciated); and **2) in regard to using the “Online Interactive Maps” at Sarasota County’s Geographic Information Systems web page, should the “PID-Parcel ID” search tool not readily provide the information and images being sought at the “Aerial Image Viewer,” and the researcher is presented on his first try with a blank screen to the left and an unnecessary added depiction of the interactive map category designation on the right, please look above on the left and click once again on “Find” (located between “legend” and “help”) and repeat the search, using the same parcel ID number in the “PID-Parcel ID” search box a second time. However, if this still does not provide the data, please inform the Sarasota County map office of the matter via email at gis@scgov.net, and it will endeavor to assist in resolving the issue. Nonetheless, should one’s emails continue to return undelivered, or one encounter some other contact issue with the county map office (or any other county office for that matter), please inform the office of the Sarasota County administrator at countyadministrator@scgov.net, and it will promptly look into the matter and endeavor to restore, facilitate, and/or expedite Internet communications without delay. Also, when studying the lots with the “Aerial Image Viewer,” recommend progressively “zooming out” for best bird’s-eye views of the property and immediate surrounding area, as this will allow one to see not only the ongoing residential development itself, but the nearby network of vehicular roadways and land travel routes as well. And in regard to freshwater and saltwater boating access routes (which can also be seen with the “Aerial Image Viewer,” but only when closely examining certain streets and lots within the subdivision in proximity to Oakley Road), it should be added that this impressive, well-designed grid of broad and crisscrossing inland canals fed by natural area freshwater streams running throughout and surrounding the subdivision, which empties directly into the Myakka and Peace river systems that run north-south throughout the county, and flow in turn southwardly into Port Charlotte Bay and the Gulf beyond, represents the same interconnecting network of inland waterways that offers prompt direct access and opportunity for extended freshwater boating throughout the regional southwest quadrant of Florida, via numerous connecting streams associated with the area’s two aforementioned merging river systems. The inland waterways within the same subdivision and closest to the two lots on Oakley are the Cocoplum and Creighton, and these can be viewed (at the “Aerial Image Viewer” web page) by clicking on “Search for Property by: Street Address” beneath “Find,” and inserting in the box which appears either Gillespie Av (for Cocoplum) or Fernway Dr (for Creighton), and then, targeting and slowly zooming out from lots which appear along the two latter streets and border upon them. For those with more time and desiring added details, return to gis.scgov.net and when arriving at the Geographic Information Systems web page once again, click on “Atlas Book” and note the county’s publication entitled, “Sarasota County Street Map Atlas.” Then, after the download of the “AtlasUpdates, April 2008” (10MBs+), scroll down to page 89 and note plate number 36-39-21, for a detailed colored map on the section of Subdivision 51 which provides a look at the two lots on Oakley Road, as well as the numerous lots surrounding it and the Cocoplum and Creighton Waterways, from the city developer’s perspective. Further informative updates will be made periodically to this ad as they become available from unbiased and reliable official Sarasota County sources.](Please ref. related ad at this website entitled, "Two inland and adjacent, SW Florida residential homesites for sale" (#7), and note that the owner is also advertising to sell the two lots in North Port referred to above.)
