It’s not always one gets an opportunity like this one, and often times my followers just like to read my descriptions of property for the educational factor they provide based on the name of the street but wait! Is it possible with a street name like Sunflower that this agent could come up with anything interesting to enlighten about… You bet I can! The sunflower was first cultivated by the American Indian in 3000 B.C. even before corn. Seeds were ground for various food uses and purple dye was extracted for textiles and body painting, pretty wild huh? Sunflowers became very popular in the 18th century with most credit being given to Peter the Great. By the 19th century Russian farmers were growing over 2 million acres of sunflowers. By 1880 the Russian sunflower found it’s way back to North America where it was grown commercially for the first time. Unlike the common sunflower, this lot is not like all the rest, why you ask? Because the lot next to it 93 Sunflower Parcel I.D. 402301202012, is also for sale by the same owner. Imagine building your dream home on almost a half of an acre in the private seclusion of Peace River Shores. Minutes away from the action of downtown Punta Gorda, World Class Fishing, Golf, Fine Dining, Gulf Beaches, Spring Training Camps for the Rays and the Braves. And now for the big follow up question, can you tell me which state adopted the Sunflower as it’s official state flower? Give me a call and I’ll let know and give you some more info about the lots as well.
