4 Sale in Florida - Cedar Key History

Cedar Key Florida In A Time Capsule

The Cedar Keys, with some evidence of native cultures dating back to the Deptford Period, about 500 B.C., was first mapped in 1542 by a Spanish cartographer and called "Las Islas Sabines", The Cedar Islands. But it was not until 1839, when a command under General Zachary Taylor established a military depot on Atsena Otie Key, that the area began to attract settlers.

The Town of Cedar Key was first established on the barrier island of Atsena Otie in the 1840's. Augustas Steele, who had purchased the island, was named postmaster of the new town. It was the same year that Florida became a state and Levy County was created and named for David Levy Yulee, the first U.S. Senator from the state.

Senator Yulee was responsible for bringing the first cross-Florida railroad from Fernandina Beach to Cedar Key in 1861. The War Between the States interrupted progress and the Cedar Keys became a major location for blockade running and salt production. After the war, in 1869, the town was incorporated as "The City of Cedar Key".

Lumber was the primary industry, although fishing and cotton shipping were also important. Sawmills and pencil factories dominated the town in the 1880's. Shipping by rail and sea made Cedar Key an important port city until 1886, when the port of Tampa began to draw shipping away from Cedar Key. The town began to decline. About 2500 people lost their jobs when the mills closed and an 1896 hurricane and tidal surge devastated the area.

At the turn of the century fishing, sponge hooking, and oystering had become the major industries and remained so until the mid-twentieth century when the tourism industry began to grow as a result of interest in the historic community.

The Florida Site Master File lists 139 buildings and archaeological sites. These are on the National Register of Historic Places as an Historic District. These sites range from Indian middens and an aboriginal cemetery to residential and commercial structures, primarily from the last quarter of the nineteenth century. There is a significant concentration of "tabby", or poured shell reinforced concrete, buildings in the historic district as well as a number of historic sites ranging from a railroad trestle and dock to sawmills, pencil factories, and boat wrecks.

Because of its isolation and history of decline after the railroads opened to Tampa and Miami, the town has been "physically frozen in time" and offers a rare glimpse of the architectural development of 19th and early 20th century Florida coastal towns.

The Cedar Key Historical Society has prepared a "walking tour" guide and capsule history of 36 of the 139 historical site locations.

Today, tourism and the commercial clam industry are the number 1 economic means for the area.

15 Acres... Way Down Upon The Suwannee River


That's right... the historical and much-sung-about "Suwannee River" in Levy County, Florida. Over 1100 feet of river frontage and 15 acres of undeveloped land, 4 Sale in Florida will show you how to get more information regarding this unique and exclusive property.

Oh My!.. Think "BIG"

Because, this property has much potential and a lot of river frontage.
The property is located in the Camp Azalea area of Chiefland on the
Levy County side of the river.

Directly across from the property is the popular Yellow Jacket
Campground, which is on the Dixie County side of the river.

Presently zoned for 1 home site. Mostly wetland area to the river with approximately 2+ acres of highland area at road access. Platted road access to this unique piece of property makes it even more desirable. We say this because many of the properties located on the Suwannee River are land-locked.

If you like gorgeous sunrises and sunsets with animal life abounding everywhere then you're sure to "LOVE" this location. Quiet, serene and just downright "Good Ole Southern Livin" at its best.

Mint Julep anyone???...

Turn-Key Restaurant in Old Town Florida



The famous "Suwannee Gables Restaurant" in Old Town, Florida is up for sale. Situated right across the street from the "Suwannee Gables Motel", and just over the bridge from the historic Suwannee River and Fanning Springs, on busy Highway 19.

This is a turn-key, walk-in and set-up business for the right person(s)... Can open-up tomorrow if you like! What a deal and it's being shown first here at 4 Sale in Florida.

This ready-to-open business was closed as of 06/01/2007... the owner retired due to illness and has recently decided to sell the property as commercial land only... "not an operating business" which would entail a much higher sales price. The bonus is, all the equipment, which is in good working order, goes with the sale.

Dining area has seating capacity for 80 people. There is 2600 + square feet of building area and the restaurant sits on approximately .64 of an acre with overflow parking in the rear of the property.

Owner upgraded the building in 2000 with new masonry exterior, wood paneling interior and a blue galvanized sheet metal roof (see pictures). Three commercial septic tanks and a well are located in the rear of the property and all tanks were drained and county inspected at the time
of closing.

"GREAT" Investment for the right person(s)... hurry while this fantastic opportunity lasts!

Unique Florida Properties

7.21 acres of beautiful undeveloped land and approximately 640 feet of State Road 44 frontage near New Smyrna Beach in Volusia County, Florida. A fantastic investor, developer and builders dream building site.

The 7.21 acres abuts the property to the left and next door, (see graphic above) which is an existing commercial business. Likely, most all the properties along the SR 44 corridor from County Road 415 to New Smyrna Beach will become commercially zoned. That is, using other major Florida highways commercial front footage usage as a good indicator for comparison and change.

Much potential for this site... New Smyrna Beach is rapidly growing and with super close access to the CR 415 and SR 44 intersection (CR 415 goes south to Orlando and north to Daytona Beach). Making these destinations more easily accessible and commuter friendly. CR 415 is approximately less than 1/4 mile west of the property (see above graphic) and the I-95 on and off ramps are approximately 4 miles east of the property on SR 44. This will soon become a major hub for business and I'm sure any savvy real estate investor can see the unlimited commercial potential.

The Volusia County Speedway is at the north west corners of SR 44 and CR 415, just across the street from a large new gas/convenience store. A new Home Depot is approximately 6 miles east of the property on SR 44 going towards New Smyrna Beach.

A Super Wal-Mart has just be constructed on CR 415 going south towards Orlando. With building like this going on it's no wonder that the exclusive Venetian Bay Community is growing as rapidly as it is, located on the SR 44 entrance side, just 2 miles east of the property. This property is ripe for development (i.e., strip mall, storage facility, many different franchises, etc.). With 640 feet of SR 44 frontage and 7.21 acres for development, the building potential is unlimited. And, we can't forget the 4 lanes of traffic moving east and west every day passing the property, targeting the site as highly visible, accessible and convenient for the surrounding communities, commuters and tourists.

See for yourself why this property at 4 Sale in Florida is unique for development right now, or as a long term appreciating investment for the future. Either way, YOU come out a winner!
