Property Description

An extraordinary and increasingly rare offering in the State of Florida — ±147 acres of legacy land defined by privacy, scale, and natural permanence. This assemblage presents a configuration seldom encountered: multiple parcels entirely enveloped by conservation and government-owned lands, creating a protective buffer that ensures enduring seclusion and an unmatched sense of control over one’s surroundings. Expansive, improved pastures sit high and dry, framed by native landscapes that reflect Old Florida at its finest. Towering oak hammocks shelter abundant wildlife including whitetail deer, Osceola turkey, and a diverse array of native species, while a distinct section of the property preserves planted witness trees dating back to the early 1800s — a living testament to Florida’s earliest surveying history and a feature virtually impossible to replicate. Of the seven parcels, three carry approved building opportunities, allowing a future owner to thoughtfully steward the land while establishing a private compound, equestrian estate, or multi-generational retreat without compromising the integrity of the landscape. An additional dimension of value exists through ±77 acres connected via deeded easements approximately two miles away, paired with a separate ±70-acre tract offering strategic flexibility for a discerning buyer. Whether envisioned as a premier recreational facility, a private hunting preserve, or a secondary enclave dedicated to the heritage lifestyle of rural Florida, these opportunities provide scale and optionality rarely found within a single acquisition strategy. Currently utilized for agricultural purposes, the owner operates a cow-calf program supported by leased surrounding lands, underscoring the property’s functional productivity as well as its investment credibility. This is not merely acreage — it is Florida as it once was and increasingly will never be again. A generational holding for those who value privacy over proximity, permanence over convenience, and stewardship over spectacle. An opportunity to secure, preserve, and cherish a vanishing way of life.
