Okeechobee Farms For Sale Come In All Types And Sizes

By Edward Allen


Okeechobee FL is an area with plenty of large and small tracts of land being offered to potential investors. The central southern section of the state is fertile and the climate is temperate. Farming, ranching, and hunting operations operate almost all year round. Whether you are looking for large, improved acreage tracts conducive to a hunting preserve or a smaller property to harvest mature timber, there are Okeechobee farms for sale to fit your needs.

Sportsmen and those who own and manage large plantations may be interested in a property that was recently available. It had an impressive hunting lodge, a large man made lake, and its own private air strip. This is a perfect location for serious hunters to spend a week or several days being escorted through the preserve in search of deer, turkey, quail, or waterfowl, depending on the season. It is also a place that would be ideal for corporate functions and social events. The sellers were asking about five thousand dollars an acre for the entire property.

A lot of livestock are raised in central Florida, so you can expect to find a number of impressive working cattle ranches on the market.

Reliable ingress and egress is also needed for the trailers required to move livestock. At five hundred acres, you can expect to see a price tag of more than two and a quarter million dollars.

Because the climate is so temperate, vegetable and fruit production is a major industry in the area. All kinds of vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, and beans thrive under the sunny skies. A large farming operation of this nature will require good water sources like ponds and lakes that can be utilized for irrigation systems and deep wells.

Some large acreage tracts are divided into several parcels. If this is the case, you can purchase the amount of land that best suits your needs. You might be interested in a small cattle operation close to a major intersection, but you have no need for row crop property that borders it. Another individual could be interested in the executive estate located on a hundred acres of a much bigger piece of real estate. The more improved the property is, the more you will have to pay per acre.

Real estate acreage with commercial and residential potential may cost the purchaser around nine thousand dollars an acre because of its location and zoning. The kind of grass pastures are seeded with can also have a lot to do with increasing the price per acre.

Orange and lemon groves are in abundance, and many corporations have bought acreage to expand their base of Florida operations. There is a lot of property ripe for commercial and residential development. Purchasers may have to contact the local zoning board to get a ruling on what is allowed on the land however.

Investing in real estate can be a great idea, if you are a smart and knowledgeable buyer. Central Florida offers many opportunities to purchase large acreage tracts for a variety of uses.
