If you are looking for a multi-purpose vacant tract of land then you need to check out the highlights on this one. For starters, the location is tough to beat. Not only is it located on a dead-end gravel road but it is also only 15 minutes to Arcadia. If you are looking for more convenience from a bigger city or world-class beaches, don’t worry because they are only about an hour away. The Peace River State Forest borders the south end of the property making for countless recreational opportunities right next door. The trail system throughout the property makes for easy-going no matter your way of transportation. You can relax and ride your horse on the fully fenced parcel. Take your truck and cooler down to the pond to do some fishing with family. Ride your ATV/UTV on the weekends to escape the busy traffic in town. Walk to your favorite tree stand location to do some hunting for deer, turkey, hogs, and coyotes. There are stands and a feeder already in place for you to enjoy immediately. Take the tractor to disc the already cleared food plot areas. Take your bike to a great tent camping spot on the backside of the property. Speaking of camping, there are also two camping sheds on the property. Fix them up and start making memories with your family and friends or tear them down and start with a clean slate. There is already a power pole to the property and what appears to be a water well next to the two metal carports. There is also a smaller metal workshop. The workshop and one of the carports already have concrete floors. If all of this sounds like too much fun for just the weekends then build a house and make it a permanent dream. This location is perfect for a country lifestyle that is close to the city and the beautiful beaches of Florida. Don’t miss this opportunity on such a great land investment, call today for your private showing.
