Choose Your Own Adventure at 490 S Samsula Dr. If you’re looking for instant gratification, keep scrolling—but if you’re ready to build something intentional, this is where your next chapter starts. Set on 1.25 acres in the quiet, open beauty of Samsula, this homesite gives you privacy and breathing room while still keeping you close to what matters: minutes to downtown New Smyrna Beach, I-95, shopping, dining, and the Atlantic coast. If your dream includes space to grow, room to roam, and the kind of peace you can actually feel, you’ll understand the appeal the moment you arrive. Now choose your vision: if you want more than “just a house,” you’ll love that this property is agriculturally zoned, opening the door to a homestead-style lifestyle, a weekend retreat, a future food forest, or simply a place where the outdoors becomes part of everyday life (buyer to verify intended use). And if the idea of starting from scratch feels overwhelming, here’s the advantage—much of the groundwork has already been done, with key documents available for review including a completed survey and wetland study, a non-conforming lot letter for permitting guidance, a clean environmental report, an approved development plan, and approved variances allowing a 50’ x 65’ building footprint (3,250 sq ft single-story) or the option for a two-story home up to 6,500 sq ft, plus an engineered site plan. If convenience still matters even when you want country calm, you’ll appreciate being on a county-maintained road, with Spectrum nearby and power easily connected with poles already present. If you’re the kind of buyer who wants to create something rooted—something real—rather than stepping into someone else’s finished idea, this is a rare opportunity to start with a strong foundation. Come walk the land, feel the quiet, and picture what you could build.
