Positioned along Citrus County’s most heavily traveled commercial corridor, this high-exposure mixed-use retail and auto service/flex warehouse property sits directly on W Gulf to Lake Highway (SR 44) in the heart of Crystal River. SR 44 carries an impressive 17,500 AADT, and the property benefits further from close proximity to the signalized intersection of CR 486 + SR 44, contributing an additional 17,900 AADT—creating a combined traffic influence of approximately 35,400 vehicles per day.

The property consists of an approximately 6,523 SF, single-story facility situated on an approximately 0.99-acre commercial parcel, offering 135 feet of frontage on SR 44 with outstanding visibility and signage opportunity. This layout makes the asset highly attractive for owner-users, service-based operators, or value-add investors seeking functional mixed-use improvements in a proven retail and commuter corridor.

The front SR 44-facing building is formally demised into 1,258 SF of retail/office space, supported by a 450 SF single-service garage/storage bay integrated into the main structure. This portion connects to an additional 765 SF of warehouse/workspace, totaling 2,023 SF within the primary building footprint—ideal for retail, office, contractor operations, showroom, or hybrid service concepts.

Located behind the main building is a dedicated 4,500 SF auto service garage / flex warehouse space, featuring four wide grade-level roll-up doors with pull-through functionality, 15’ clear ceiling height, and both single-phase and three-phase electrical panels—a rare and highly desirable combination for automotive, light industrial, fabrication, logistics, and equipment-based users.

The surrounding area is home to an established network of national retailers, service providers, and essential infrastructure. Within a 1–2 mile radius, you’ll find Walmart Supercenter, Publix, Lowe’s, Walgreens, CVS, ALDI, Bealls Outlet, Dollar General, Family Dollar, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, Tractor Supply Co., McDonald’s, and other major brands—offering strong synergy for high-visibility, traffic-oriented businesses.

Demographics within a 15-minute drive reflect a stable, opportunity-rich consumer base, including a population of 17,551 residents, a median household income of $53,000, and an average age of 61.2. This market profile signals robust demand for essential goods, healthcare services, quick-service restaurants, and convenience-driven amenities. Altogether, 6552 W Gulf to Lake Highway represents a rare chance to secure a shovel-ready site in one of Florida’s most recession-resistant, demographically resilient submarkets—making it an ideal acquisition for developers, operators, and institutional buyers seeking long-term value and strategic positioning in the Tampa Bay metro area.
