About this home
DEVELOPMENT ALERT! Own a hidden gem at 5675 Sims Road, Delray Beach! This 1979 ranch-style home sits on 1.05 acres of lush grounds with mature fruit trees. Offering over 1,400 total sq. ft. (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. Property Features & "Old Florida" Appeal The current residence at 5675 Sims Road is a charming single-story frame home built in 1979 that captures the essence of private, rural living within city limits: Interior: Features 1,296 sq. ft. of living area under air, including an open floor plan with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The interior is a blank canvas ready for modern customization or expansion. Outdoor Living: The 1.05-acre lot is a tropical oasis featuring mature fruit trees, a finished screened porch, and an open porch for enjoying the lake breezes. There is ample room for a resort-style pool, utility barns, or guest quarters. Accessibility: The home features wide hallways and a level entry, making it an excellent candidate for a multi-generational renovation. Unbeatable Delray Beach Location Located in unincorporated Palm Beach County, this property offers a peaceful retreat while being minutes from the "Best Small Town in America": Atlantic Avenue: Just a short drive to the heartbeat of Delray Beach, famous for its world-class dining, galleries, and nightlife. Beaches: Less than 15 minutes to the pristine Atlantic coastline and vibrant beach parks.
