Citrus County is expanding CR 491 to 4 lanes, and the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. The parcel is pastureland, and the road widening project is constructing a median cut with left and right turn lanes at the entrance to the site. Upon completion, this will create a 600-foot-long intersection area extending from the beginning of the left turn lane to the beginning of the right turn lane.

The site is ideal for a single big box tenant or multiple out parcels. The owner is seeking NNN ground leases.
