At just $159,900, this is likely the best value available in LaBelle (county seat of Hendry County, Florida). Ideal as a primary residence or a rental property.

Home has a free and clear title; seller owns it outright with no liens or encumbrances.

Home within walking distance of Country Oaks Elementary School and FSW State College. Walmart Supercenter is a 10-minute drive away. In town: grocery stores, pharmacies, hospitals, dentists, veterinarians, banks, USPS post office, UPS Store, 7-Eleven, library, churches, and a variety of restaurants – Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Cuban, and more.

Home located in Country Village, an all-ages community of Spanish- and English-speaking families. Newly paved roads throughout the village. Home includes permanent ownership of the land (also known as fee simple property ownership), meaning there is no lot lease – unlike what is typical in manufactured home parks or 55+ communities.

Mandatory village HOA fee of $410/year, due each February (2025 fee already paid).

2024 annual property tax, which included a homestead exemption and a 4% early payment discount, was paid in November 2024, totaling $1,338.12.

Home not in a flood zone (FEMA Minimal Flood Hazard Zone X-Unshaded).

Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers (the nearest commercial airport) is 40 miles away. About 95 miles to West Palm Beach and 130 miles to Miami.

Home being sold AS-IS, with no repairs or warranties provided by the seller. Home needs a new roof, new kitchen/laundry appliances, new panel breakers, as well as additional repairs. The central A/C, electric water heater, and refrigerator are functional but outdated.
