Our high-fenced property has hundreds of acres of the “Old Florida feel” with hardwoods, cabbage hammocks, oak hammocks & some planted pine. A unique ecosystem called pumpkin swamp is on this property. It is one of the most unique ecosystems in Florida which is why there is as much wild game as there is here. The culture of the surrounding area is unique & deeply vested in hunting. One can see why the State of Florida has acquired many acres of land like Woods To Water Preserve in this area to protect and preserve for future generations. This is some of the last great places not yet owned by the state or national parks.
