(1,296 under air) with 3 beds and 2 baths, it's perfect for a renovation or a luxury custom estate. Zoned AR, it features a rare 8-unit per acre overlay and a .45 FAR, per PBC planning. Utilities are within reach with water/sewer available. NOTE: The adjoining 1.2-acre property at 5679 Sims Rd is also for sale separately, offering a rare assembly of 2.25 acres for a 18+ unit project. Live the "Old Florida" lifestyle or develop in a high-demand area minutes from Atlantic Ave, beaches, and I-95. A prime opportunity for end-users, builders, and investors alike! High-Value Development & Assembly Potential The subject property at 5675 Sims Road provides a versatile foundation for immediate use or significant future appreciation: Density & FAR: Per the Palm Beach County planner, the property benefits from an 8-unit per acre overlay and a .45 Floor Area Ratio (FAR). On its own, this 1.05-acre lot offers significant building volume for a boutique multi-family project or a massive private compound. The Power of Two: By acquiring both 5675 Sims Road (1.05 ac) and the adjoining 5679 Sims Road (1.2 ac), you can assemble approximately 2.25 contiguous acres. This combined footprint allows for superior site planning, optimized drainage, and the potential for a larger-scale residential community of 18+ units (subject to final county approval). Infrastructure: Move forward with confidence—preliminary research indicates that municipal water and sewer lines are within reach to serve the site, a critical advantage for high-density development.
