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.

Quail, deer, turkey, waterfowl, and other wildlife are abundant in the area. This is a popular part of Florida for hunting preserves. One, with thousands of acres, was on the market recently. It boasted a large and luxuriously appointed main lodge, a man made stocked lake, and a private landing strip for the convenience of guests. This place could also serve as a perfect location for corporate entertaining and weddings.

There are usually a number of cattle ranches in the area being offered by local owners and commercial breeders. These properties are normally fenced and cross fenced. The topography is generally flat with lakes that provide plenty of fresh water for livestock. Paved road frontage is preferable with ingress and egress for trucks, tractors, and trailers. A five hundred acre ranch like this is usually priced around two and a half million dollars.

Row crops are also big business around here. Farmers plant all types of vegetables and fruits all through the year because the climate is so temperate. Beans, cabbage, broccoli and cucumbers are all grown very successfully here. Large acreage tracts are available with lakes, ponds and deep wells needed to install irrigation systems.

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 is all about location, and if you are looking for property close to major intersections, airports, Lake Okeechobee, or the city limits, you can find it here. The prices will increase because of the proximity to these amenities. A prime three hundred acre tract could run as high as ten thousand dollars an 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.

Purchasing Florida real estate is a great opportunity for those with the means and the knowledge. Ranches, farms, and hunting preserves could show a huge return on their initial investment.
