2790 Brooke Rd, Fort Meade, FL 33841

Stunning 5 acre, 2 bed, 2 bath ranch in central Florida. Easy drive to the water…either coast. Soil is highly fertile as verified by U of F, Gainesville…with no need of amendments. Grow virtually anything you choose…year round. Pastures are lush, providing excellent Bahia grass in all seasons for livestock. 10 years now and we’ve never bought hay! Due, of course, to the rich muck land (see photo). Ranch has outstanding 4 board fencing with treated 4×4 posts set in concrete. Well is pristine providing exceptionally high quality water for all purposes…including drinking. Ranch is replete with not only premier pastures but also a very unique’Skydeck’ sitting approximately 75 feet above grade…providing beautiful 360 degree views from the treetops. Breathtaking on starry nights! Ground level area around the Skydeck features both a recreational area as well as your own private campground…creek with walk bridge and oak firewood cut and stacked. Beyond the campground lies the Peace River Canal, a gorge reminiscent of the Amazon basin in South America. The canal is approximately 200 feet deep with a small river at it’s base…displaying gorgeous ferns and foliage and is teaming with every kind of wildlife Florida has to offer…boar…deer…otter…Fox…lynx…and panther. It is not unusual to spot some of this wildlife from your perch on the Skydeck. Not to worry, though…they won’t leave the sanctuary of the canal. You do, however own the land clear to the midway point of the river, far below, and hunting is an option for those who choose to. Nothing average about the home either. Nine and a half foot ceilings give a strong sense of openness and spacious ambiance. A large 12 foot patio door gives a beautiful view from the living room of the mature oak trees that completely encircle the home. Our roof-covered open verandas are spectacular…comprising over 2500 square feet of patio. Lovely, regardless what the weather is doing! Mosquitoes are not an issue other than a 20 minute period at dusk…after which they leave. 7 OAKS Ranch is a must see!
