A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH! 109.6 acres (mol) of scenic land in eastern Hernando County, just minutes from I 75, yet away from it all. This property is the former 18 hole championship golf course named Whispering Oaks Golf & Country Club. The sprawling clubhouse has 7,665 SF of space ("living area") and includes a large banquet room, commercial sized kitchen, grill room with bar, a pro shop, private offices, and 3 bathrooms. The building, constructed in 1958, is in need of major renovations, and the seller has taken that into account in the pricing of the property. There is a large outbuilding, open air with covered storage ideal for golf carts plus a workshop (this room may have potential to serve as a future pro shop). There are possibilities for development within the parcel while still using it as a golf course, subject to required approvals. In addition, adjoining properties are available which already have County approvals for a future RV park or possibly other development such as townhomes, condos or villas. The property contains two 10" wells for irrigation of the property, and central water and sewer are available for the clubhouse. There are 2 distinct 9s the front 9 is "The Oaks" with narrow fairways hugged by many hundred year old oaks, and the back 9 s"The Dunes" which is more open with waste bunkers and links style grasses bordering the fairways. This wonderful property in the quiet community of Ridge Manor, just north of Dade City and east of Brooksville, can be yours for the GREAT NEW PRICE of $995,000!!!
