Buying in Oxford: What You Get

Buying a home in Oxford FL is often really buying land. What you get from us is someone who knows the questions land raises, and who can also show you the northern Villages sections if you want the lifestyle with more quiet around it.

Why Lili

Lili Whittington has listed acreage along County Road 223, sells in the northern villages, and has sold more than 450 homes in more than 20 years.

Your Land Checklist

  • Zoning and uses. Horses, outbuildings, a workshop, a home business: is it allowed?
  • Well and septic. Age, condition and inspection.
  • Access. Road frontage, easements and driveway.
  • Flood zone and drainage.
  • Fences and barns. Condition and what conveys.
  • Insurance. Rural and larger properties can price differently.

Prefer a neighborhood? Oxford Oaks is a gated, all-ages option, and the northern villages bring the usual bond and amenity-fee questions.
