JEH Ranch

J E H Ranch is approximately a 2864 acre working cattle ranch located 5 miles North of Lakeland, Florida. The ranch has approximately 1000 acres of improved pastures for grazing and hay production with the remaining 1800 + acres in it’s native state. The ranch is home to whitetail deer, wild Osceola turkeys and many other types of wildlife native to West Central Florida. The offering does not include any buildings but does have a small set of cattle working pens. There are several large diameter deep water wells located around the improved pastures. The ranch has a perpetual “conservation easement” over it which prevents intense development. The CE permits a total of 9 homesites with a minimum acreage of 100 acres per new homesite. There is approximately one half mile of frontage on Rock Ridge Road which is a paved collector owned and maintained by Polk County. Historic uses have been cattle production, timber production, sod- seed production and watermelon farming. The CE allows those historic uses perpetually with the exception of “row crop” production. The CE also allows an additional 200 acres of the native range to be converted to improved pastures if desired. The ranch is one of the few remaining large tracts in private ownership in this part of West Central Florida. Owner will consider dividing property.J E H Ranch is approximately a 2864 acre working cattle ranch located 5 miles North of Lakeland, Florida.
