500 L 7 Ranch Rd, Lake Placid, FL 33852 - Highlands County

Situated in one of the most coveted areas of Floridas Heartland, Lonesome Island Ranch is a remarkable real estate asset. Clear sand-filtered water flows eastward from the Lake Wales Ridge and through a well-designed ditch system, exiting the ranch into the Harney Pond Canal. In dry or wet seasons, an owner can control the capture and release of this water, supplying the cattle or farming operation year-round. This ranch currently, and historically, has been utilized for cattle is almost made up entirely of muck soils, mostly the Tequesta variety. Due to this, and the abundance of water, this property is ideal for any type of Florida farming, from sugar cane to sod, and everything in between. Wildlife is plentiful, as the property has not been aggressively hunted for decades. A well appointed ranch home along with an equipment barn sits in a beautiful oak hammock, which is frequented by whitetail fawn and the occasional fox squirrel. This ranch is a Florida agricultural operators dream, and opportunities to own properties of this quality in our state are disappearing by the day. CALL BROKER FOR PRICE.
