Saint Catherine House for Sale

Saint Catherine, a rural neighborhood on the outskirts of Bushnell, Florida, is characterized by its expansive green lots and quiet country roads. Located about 60 miles northeast of Tampa, this area features properties often spanning several acres, with some parcels exceeding 10 acres, primarily used as ranch land. The housing inventory is limited, consisting mainly of midcentury ranch-style houses and manufactured homes, though there is a growing trend of buyers purchasing open lots to build new homes. The absence of HOAs provides flexibility for property owners.

Iron Bridge Park, within the forest, is a popular spot for picnics and paddling on the Withlacoochee River.
