Versatile 3-bedroom, 2-bath home situated on over an acre of land with desirable AR2 zoning, perfect for home-business or investment. Sunshine Grove Road in Brooksville is entering a period of rapid change, with a clear timeline of development already unfolding. In 2023 and 2024, Hernando County approved the Sunshine Grove Road Multilaning Project, which will expand the corridor from two lanes to four lanes between Ken Austin Parkway and Hexam Road. This project was initiated to handle rising traffic volumes and prepare for future growth. During the same period, rezoning requests began for several parcels along the road, including nearly five-acre lots across from Spring Ridge being shifted to neighborhood commercial use.
Currently, many parcels continue rezoning processes, and traffic counts exceeding 14,500 vehicles daily are increasing commercial viability. Surrounding communities are expanding, with more than 10,000 new homes planned in the area, creating demand for retail, schools, and services.
Between 2026 and 2028, the completion of the road widening project will significantly improve traffic flow and accessibility, encouraging more commercial investment. The Sandal Key Metro Lagoon, located just 2.5 miles away, will be fully operational, drawing families and boosting residential demand. Early phases of mixed-use developments on rezoned parcels are expected to break ground, likely including shopping centers, restaurants, and office spaces.
From 2029 through 2035, Sunshine Grove Road is anticipated to evolve into a major suburban-commercial corridor, similar to Spring Hill Drive or Cortez Boulevard. Housing developments will mature, with thousands of new residents fueling retail and service growth. Long-term plans may include community hubs, medical offices, and larger retail complexes, supported by the widened roadway and high traffic counts.
This timeline shows how Sunshine Grove Road is transitioning from a semi-rural stretch into Hernando Countyβs next growth artery, with road expansion, rezoning, and residential development combining to make it a central hub for commerce and community life over the next decade.
Permitted uses include: aquaculture, livestock grazing (one mature animal with offspring per acre), poultry and swine for home consumption, horticultural specialty farming, accessory structures, pigeon aviaries, and on-site sales of agricultural products grown on the property.

Seller will consider rezoning for potential commercial buyer, making this property an excellent opportunity for those seeking future commercial development. The single family home could make a great office!
