Okeechobee Farms For Sale Are Great Opportunities For Smart Investors

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.

If you are looking for a hunting preserve with a large and luxurious lodge, private landing strip, and lake, you might find the perfect property here. There is abundant wildlife in the area, and you can make this property pay for itself by hosting hunting groups all through the year. It might make an excellent corporate retreat and could even serve as place for formal functions. You should expect to pay between five and six thousand dollars an acre for this kind of improved property.

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.

Vegetable and fruit production is big business in this part of Florida. You might be able to find about two thousand acres of agricultural land perfect for row crops. There should be a number of ponds, lakes, and operational wells for irrigation. Cabbages, cucumbers, beans, and broccoli are just a few of the vegetables grown here.

You don't have to buy thousands of acres to own property here however. Many large tracts are broken up into smaller lots of land for investors and others who only want a portion of a large ranch, preserve, or farm. It is not unusual for a residential estate to be surveyed out of a plantation in order to attract the attention of those with an interest in becoming gentlemen farmers. Of course you will have to pay more, the more improved the parcel is.

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.

Real estate can be a great investment. There are a lot of good opportunities for those with the means and the vision.
