$12,500,000 · Active
Own a rare piece of Florida wilderness that offers serenity, adventure, and the opportunity to create a legacy for generations to come. Open canvas to build your executive hunting lodge, sportsman’s retreat, or exclusive estate overlooking your own private lake. With an average of 1,000 people moving to Florida every day, the one thing they are not making more of is old Florida land. Imagine arriving via a 1.4-mile nature trail that winds through the Ocala Forest — your private driveway through natural beauty. Once a cattle ranch, this property remains fully fenced with barbed wire. The south/east 10 acres are cross-fenced and improved for livestock. All main corridor roads have been built to accommodate larger vehicles, and ATV trails crisscross the property. Three gates provide access to the adjoining St. Francis Hiking trails and OHV(Off Highway Vehicle) Trials, with the St. Johns River just two miles east. Do you like aviation? Owners and guest can enjoy permitted access to the only private airstrip located in the interior Ocala National Forest. Perfect for agri-tourism or private recreation, the land includes 25 designated campsites and three stocked ponds with largemouth bass. Hunters will appreciate abundant wildlife including wild boar, turkey, deer, and quail — all in complete darkness. With no ambient lights surrounding the property, it makes an ideal location for star-gazing, and could possibly qualify for International Dark Sky Places. Nearby are some of Florida’s most famous springs — Blue Springs, Alexander, Juniper, Rock, and Silver Springs — all within 30 minutes. Surrounded by the 430,000-acre Ocala Forest, enjoy pristine air and water from one of the state’s purest aquifers. This one-of-a-kind property offers unmatched privacy and tranquility, yet remains conveniently located — just 7 miles to the SunRail, 10 miles to the International Speedway, and 20–40 miles to Daytona, Sanford, and Orlando airports. Enjoy peaceful living just minutes from the charming downtown of DeLand, an award-winning community recognized as #1 of America’s best small towns. Explore local shops, restaurants, cafés, parks, and community events while enjoying the welcoming hometown atmosphere DeLand is known for.
