Raspberries, yes, there are a native (almost thornless), but others can turn invasive, so beware!
There are threads on the others, there is a native Hawaiian plant that is much like blueberries, & Plant it Hawaii & Fruitlovers has acerola cherries (Malpighia glabra) & tropical apricot (Dovyalis ssp) Fruitlovers also has Brazilian Cherry ( Eugenia dombeyi)& Surinam Cherry ( Eugenia uniflora).... the tropical peach & nectarine I have seen in Australia, just don't know if there are any here.... Bill Martin is probably a good one to check for those...
Stillhope, our lots are very similar in size (our survey has 0.223 ac, or ~9,800sq ft, but we do have city water, so no catchment) we do have a long house that takes up a lot of the lot & there are also 2 areas that I am planting that had nada.... so your lot will have some room (I would caution on the avocado, you will need to stay on top (literally) of it, as it will grow out constantly.... & the mango is more of a one acre tree.... they really rebel control....& usually fruit at the top.... and are a better tree for a friend to have ;~)
