Unique. Special. Rare find. What makes this property exceptional? It's the 58,000+ acres that adjoins this property. Let me explain. .. this property is located at the very end of Carter Island Road. What's at the end of Carter Island Road --- Carter Island. This is a high point, all high and dry land, You'll pass large cattle operations on your way, gradually gain elevations and reach the end of the road. You will be living on Carter Island. You get the privacy and seclusion from all the cattle operations. Much of that land will be hard to develop because of it's low elevation. It get's better, adjoining these 2 lots is approximately 150 acres owned by the Greenway Trail System. A short distance through the woods you'll find the Van Fleet Trail. The most remote paved bike trail in Florida, 30 miles long traveling through Polk, Sumter and Lake counties. Just on the other side of the Van Fleet Trail is Richloam Wildlife Management Area, 58,000 acres of protected wildlife area. Now is the time to click over to Google maps and search 11307 Carter Island Road. Use the aerial feature to get a good visual of this secret retreat. What does this seclusion mean. .. deer, hogs, turkey and other wildlife. What's for dinner? Deer meat. If you hunt, you will be in hunters paradise. The first time I walked onto this property I jumped 3 deer and a handful of turkey. The property itself is mostly cleared. For those that desire livestock, it has good forage grasses. Bring the horses, chickens, goats, sheep or 4H calf. Create your secluded homestead or bug out paradise. It just keeps getting better. There is a 1964 mobile home on the property. It's trash, but, that means there was well, electric and septic on the property. Possibly as old cable box is on the property. If you decide to build this should reduce your impact fees and infrastructure cost. That old mobile could save you thousands and possibly tens of thousands of dollars. The easement to the property is deeded. Carter Island Road is maintained by the county. Let's talk about the two downsides to this property. Your probably too far out to get DoorDash deliveries. If you drive a Porsche Panamera, it's going to get dusty. For all you folks that know how to cook and drive a four wheel drive instead of all wheel drive, this land is perfection. One last bit of info, the owner is selling two 5 acre parcels, 11307 and 11311 Carter Island Road. Buy one or buy both.
