Okeechobee Farms For Sale Come In All Types And Sizes

By Edward Allen


Okeechobee FL is located in the south central portion of the state. It is a small community that is bordered on the south by a well known lake of the same name. There is an abundance of farmland in this area. Investors who are interested in agricultural or pasture land, property that has commercial potential, and ranches improved with spacious homes, barns and other out buildings will all find something to satisfy their needs with the many Okeechobee farms for sale.

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.

Cattle ranching is big business in this area. Some are owned by owner operators, and others belong to commercial breeders. Most have some sort of paved road frontage to make it easy for trucks and trailers to enter and leave. There must be a good water source for the livestock and strong fencing to keep cattle on the property. It is not unusual for a five hundred acre operation to sell for more than two 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.

There are usually mature citrus groves available for anyone who wants to go into that business or expand an existing operation. There is also land being offered and advertised as development property. What the owner can do with the real estate depends on the way it is zoned and what kind of road frontage it has.

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