01 · Two Ways to Own It

One gate. Five front doors.

Four attached residences and a detached home on 1.36 acres. Run it for income, or keep the whole family inside one fence line.

A great investment

Cash flow, upgrades already done, and land underneath it.

  • Was generating $7,800 a month ($93,600 a year) with four of five residences leased
  • About $18,600 more a year available by leasing the fifth residence
  • About $82,200 in annual net operating income, per the listing financials — an 11.26% cap rate at $730,000
  • Separate electric meters, new metal roof, updated plumbing and electrical — value-add work already behind you
  • An insulated garage that could be converted into more living space
  • 1.36 acres zoned RLD-120. Future subdivision or added residences are possible only with City approval — verify before you count on it

Currently one residence is leased; the new owner sets rents on the rest, subject to applicable requirements. Income figures come from the listing and should be verified. Ask for the rent roll.

A family compound

Everyone close. Everyone with their own door.

  • A detached single-family home plus four residences — room for parents, grown kids and guests
  • The largest residence: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, more than 1,360 sq ft
  • Three residences with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and private laundry each
  • Vinyl fencing and a heavy-duty automatic security gate
  • 220-foot paved driveway, two large carports, extensive parking
  • Concrete RV pad with full hookups, and a greenhouse

Live in one, lease the rest to carry the property — or bring the whole family home.

02 · The Story

Room you can't recreate today.

1.36 gated acres in Oceanway, less than ten minutes from Jacksonville International Airport — with five residences already on the land.

The heavy lifting is done: a new ribbed metal roof over more than 6,250 square feet, updated plumbing, new electrical panels with separate meters, hurricane-impact windows on most of the property, and two oversized septic systems.

What you do with it is the only open question.

Full MLS remarks

Two residences, room to spread out, and a North Jacksonville location. Set on 1.36 acres in Oceanway, 865 Cole Road offers a primary residence plus a separate in-law home, a layout that gives buyers several ways to use the property. Explore a rental investment or a combination of personal living space and rental use. One unit is currently rented; a new buyer can set rental rates upon purchase, subject to applicable requirements. Features include tile flooring, a metal roof, separate electric meters, a gated entrance, a paved driveway, carports, and an RV pad with hookups. The detached home adds a separate living space, while the grounds provide room for parking and outdoor use. Convenient to I-95, I-295, Jacksonville International Airport, and River City Marketplace. Buyers should verify permitted uses, square footage, leases, and property systems during due diligence.

Was generating $7,800 per month ($93,600 annually) in rental income with only four of the five residences occupied, this property offers immediate cash flow while offering the opportunity to increase annual income by an added $18,600 simply by leasing the fifth residence. Based on the current financials, the property produces approximately $82,200 in annual Net Operating Income, representing an attractive 11.26% cap rate at the $730,000 asking price. The property consists of four residential units plus a detached single-family home, offering flexibility that is nearly impossible to find in today's market. Three residences feature 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, each with private interior laundry. The largest residence offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, more than 1,360 square feet, and propane service for both the range and dryer. One residence also includes an insulated garage that could easily be converted into additional living space. The detached home provides even greater versatility, making it ideal as an owner-occupied residence, guest house, property manager's quarters, employee housing, or an additional rental opportunity.

Extensive capital improvements have already been completed, providing peace of mind and minimizing future maintenance expenses. Recent upgrades include: new 6,250+ square foot ribbed metal roof; updated plumbing throughout; new electrical panels with separate electric meters and primarily 12-gauge wiring; hurricane-impact windows throughout most of the property; durable red steel construction with predominantly metal siding; matching tile flooring throughout all residences; industrial-sized gutters with French drains; new appliances and propane service; two oversized septic systems with expansive drain fields; vinyl fencing with a heavy-duty automatic Ghost security gate.

The exterior is equally impressive with a 220-foot paved driveway, two large carports, greenhouse, oversized concrete RV pad with full RV hookups, extensive parking, and beautifully maintained grounds. The property is located in Flood Zone X, meaning it is outside of a designated flood hazard area. Location is another major advantage. Just minutes from I-95 and I-295, the property is less than 10 minutes from Jacksonville International Airport, approximately 15 minutes to Downtown Jacksonville, about 25 minutes to Jacksonville's beaches, and only minutes from River City Marketplace, offering major retailers, restaurants, and entertainment.

Unlike most investment properties, this estate offers multiple exit strategies. Continue operating it as a high-performing income property, occupy one residence while the remaining units generate substantial rental income, create a private multi-generational family compound, or explore the property's future development potential. Due to its size and configuration, the parcel may offer the opportunity for future subdivision or additional residential development, subject to buyer verification with the appropriate governmental authorities. With more than 4,400 square feet of living space, 1.36 acres, substantial recent improvements, existing cash flow, and future upside, this is a truly unique opportunity that would be extraordinarily difficult--and significantly more expensive--to recreate at today's land and construction costs. Properties offering this combination of income, flexibility, infrastructure, acreage, and long-term appreciation potential rarely become available. Schedule your private showing today and discover everything this exceptional investment property has to offer.
