Opportunities like this don’t come along often. This buildable corner lot in the Hickory Hills neighborhood offers a rare chance to create a home that fits your lifestyle in a quaint, close-knit cottage community just steps from the lake. Zoned R-1 Residential, the property is eligible for permitted residential uses. County regulations allow for a site-built or modular home with a minimum of 750 sq ft of living space, with the potential to pursue design flexibility through variance or setback considerations (buyer to verify). You may fill out an application to build a smaller home and closer to the lot lines. That gives a lot of options such as applying to build a tiny home at 550sq ft. The corner location provides excellent access and layout options, including the potential for a circular driveway—ideal for boats, trailers, and weekend toys. City water is available, and the water meter installation is already ordered and scheduled, saving time and upfront effort for the next owner. Beautiful “Ranch Rail Fence” just installed! Hickory Hills is somewhat of a secret little neighborhood that even Lake Placid Lifers don’t know about. What I love is the storybook-style cottages and neighborly atmosphere, where residents enjoy a slower pace and a true sense of community. Lake access is located at the end of the street, including deeded rights to 1/70 ownership of the neighborhood park, complete with a dock and boat ramp on the clear, spring-fed waters of Lake Grassy. With a voluntary HOA and low annual dues. It’s not an HOA. It’s a Voluntary HOA - they have no by laws and cannot enforcement anything - they get access with or without paying. ($100 per year goes towards mowing & maintaining lakefront park) only for improved properties, this lot is an excellent choice for a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or snowbird escape.
