Description

A rare Florida legacy property where lifestyle, land stewardship, income-producing agriculture, and incredible flexibility all coexist. Spanning approximately 105 acres, this extraordinary estate offers the best of both worlds: approximately 85 acres protected by a conservation easement, preserving its agricultural and natural character for generations, while approximately 20 acres remain outside the easement, offering valuable future flexibility. Two custom homes, multiple additional living quarters, two massive workshops, a freestanding barndominium, pools, ponds, improved pastures, hay and sod production, and extensive agricultural infrastructure create a property designed to live, work, gather, produce, and play—all in one remarkable setting.
MAIN HOME: Built in 2023 with nearly 12,000 SF under roof and approximately 7,000 SF living, this 5BR/4BA custom home combines substantial construction with comfortable Florida living. Poured concrete/block construction, metal roof and siding, soaring ceilings up to approximately 30', exposed beams and a massive stone fireplace. The kitchen features quartz countertops, shaker cabinetry, induction cooking, pot filler, oversized island and walk-in pantry. Dual primary suites share an impressive bath with oversized shower and soaking tub, plus two additional en-suite bedrooms. Expansive wraparound porches lead to the screened saltwater pool/spa with zero-entry access and fountains. Additional features include a detached 588 SF bonus room, 49KW generator, 1,000-gallon propane tank, commercial water-softening system and deep well.
GUEST HOME: Built in 2019 with approximately 3,000 SF living, 3BR/2.5BA and its own private pool/spa. Open farmhouse-inspired kitchen with leathered granite, apron-front sink, custom hood and oversized island. Spacious primary suite, den/playroom, fenced yard, travertine pool deck, metal roof and oversized carport create a completely independent second residence.
BARNDOMINIUM: Freestanding two-story living space with 1BR plus loft, full kitchen, full bath, laundry, screened porch and open carport—ideal for extended family, guests, caretaker or ranch manager.
MAIN WORKSHOP + APARTMENT: Approximately 96'x40' metal workshop plus 14'x96' covered pole barn with three bays and five roll-up doors. Attached two-story apartment includes 1BR/1BA, full kitchen, laundry, loft, HVAC and separate septic—another independent living opportunity.
SECOND WORKSHOP: Approximately 96'x40' metal building plus 14'x96' covered pole barn with epoxy floors, electric and water. Exceptional space for agricultural equipment, vehicles, collections, storage or working operations.
LAND + PRODUCTION: The acreage is both beautiful and productive, with improved pastures, ponds, scattered cypress heads and abundant wildlife. Established hay production yielded 246 rolls in late August 2026, complemented by active sod production. Existing infrastructure and productive acreage support cattle, horses, hay, sod and a variety of agricultural pursuits.
CONSERVATION + FLEXIBILITY: Approximately 85 acres are protected by a conservation easement, preserving open space, agriculture, wildlife habitat and the natural Florida landscape. Approximately 20 acres remain outside the easement, providing an important level of future flexibility, subject to zoning and governmental approvals. The result is increasingly rare: meaningful conservation without sacrificing the ability to adapt.
