The search for earth stops here.
It’s an image that we all hold in our minds: that perfect plot of land for you to build your new dream home on.
For many of us, that image has its roots right here in St. Pete. And why not? We’ve got it all: sunshine, beaches, beautiful neighborhoods, a great downtown, awesome restaurants, and an endless amount of leisure activities at our disposal.
All too often, though, a fellow Sunshine City resident has already beat you to your ideal lot. There simply just aren’t many vacant spots left in desirable St. Pete areas due to the increasing population – and red hot real estate market – of the past decade.
But not so fast – we’ve scoured local listings to find that there actually ARE some great ones left on the market. Building your palace within a St. Pete zip code might still be possible, after all.
The plots of land you’ll find below aren’t necessarily the most expensive around, but do represent the most appealing combination of value, location, and constructability. At least, from the opinion of this humble home builder.
Here are St. Pete’s top vacant lots for sale, ordered from most to least expensive.

If you don’t feel like waiting for homes to go up for sale in your perfect St. Pete location – or, aren’t too keen on spending extra to purchase the existing structure – then these available lots could be just what you’re looking for.
See something you like? We urge you to start inquiring now! During these crazy times we’re living in there’s a bunch of uncertainty surrounding the real estate market – so you never know how quickly they’ll go.
And if none of these plots of land make sense for you, just contact the real estate agents we’ve listed. They should be able to provide listings that are more your flavor. (You can always start your search on Zillow for a frame of reference – just keep in mind that it’s a little limited in what you’ll find).
Best of luck, and let us know your thoughts on our list in the comments!
