"The Cracker Camp" is a native 10-acre parcel in eastern Charlotte County fronting on SR74 and on Kelvin Avenue. This property consists of 2 five-acre parcels, which means two (2) homes (1 home per parcel) can be built on the property. Kelvin is a marl/dirt road that provides access along the west side of the property. The property is zoned Agriculture, a low-density zoning that permits many uses. This property can be "a place to just get away" and enjoy rural life. Currently, there is a seasonal pond in the northeastern area of the 10 acres. The pond area appears to have been mined years ago...possibly when the roads were built, when the subdivision was developed. The property demands you know and understand the nature of SW Florida during each season of the year, as recreation and the agricultural, residential uses of the property would be based on adjusting to the season of the year and the uses permitted by the government. A great side benefit to owning this property is access to the Babcock Ranch Preserve, just 2.7 miles west of the property. Babcock Ranch Preserve provides over 67,000 acres of recreational state lands for nature lovers, hiking, hunting, and horseback riding. Search Babcock Ranch Preserve for more details.

30 Acres

Punta Gorda, Florida, 33982

To step onto The Lake on Big Prairie is to walk through the very soul of Florida's history. This isn't just a 30-acre estate; it is a timeless landscape where the echoes of the first Floridians meet the legacy of Spanish Conquistadors. From the ancient hunting grounds of the Calusa and Tequesta to the 19th-century "open prairie" where legendary cattle barons like Bones Mizell drove their herds across a fenceless horizon, this property is a living canvas. It is the same rugged, romantic wilderness that inspired Frederic Remington to immortalize the Florida "Cracker Cowboy" in his world-renowned paintings. Spanning approximately 1,350 by 968 feet, the property is defined by its magnificent water features. A shimmering 7.5-acre central lake of 27 feet in depth is complemented by three smaller ponds, creating a sanctuary for local wildlife. With over 1,100 feet of lake frontage and an elevation of 60 feet, the terrain offers a high, dry, and picturesque foundation for your vision. Sowed with Argentine Bahia, the land is perfectly suited for ranging cattle, equestrian pursuits, or simply preserving the natural beauty of the Florida interior. The true value of this acreage lies in its exceptionally liberal Agriculture (AG) zoning within Charlotte County. This designation is a rare find, offering a level of freedom seldom seen in modern real estate. Build up to three distinct homesites or modular homes-ideal for a family compound or a legacy estate. Construct pole barns, workshops, or agricultural structures without the standard permitting hurdles, thanks to the AG status. Whether you envision a horse stable, a fish hatchery (lake stocked with hybrid bluegill, talapia and bass), a boutique muscadine vineyard, or a private nature preserve, the Charlotte Co. Municode Sec. 3-9-30, Agriculture guidelines provide for a vast array of uses including silviculture and viticulture. Located on SR 74, this parcel serves as a bridge between the tranquil interior and the vibrant Gulf Coast. While you are just a scenic drive from the boating world of Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf Islands, the fast routes of SR 29 and US 27 put the Atlantic coast-West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami-within easy reach. You will find yourself surrounded by the prestige of Florida's great agricultural dynasties, including the Lykes, Alico, and Evans families, and buffered by state-protected preserves that ensure your privacy remains permanent. As the sun sets over The Lake on Big Prairie, the sky transforms into a masterpiece of towering clouds and vivid colors that no city light can dim. Here, the nights are truly dark, revealing a universe of stars undisturbed by the bustle of SW Florida. This is more than a land purchase; it is an opportunity to own a middle-sized parcel in an area where such gems are rapidly disappearing. Escape the noise and reclaim your peace on the prairie.

68 Acres

Punta Gorda, Florida, 33982

"Prairie Oaks" is a 68-acre parcel that is a rare offering in East Charlotte Co.. Why? This property has multiple options for development under the Charlotte Co. Agriculture zoning, which is a liberal, low-density zoning that offers a very wide range of land uses. The density is one home per ten acres. So, it is reasonable to assume that about 5-6 homes could be built upon the sixty-eight acres if that is your desire. The property in some parts is mostly forested in oaks, along with native pine and cabbage trees. The land can be farmed in multiple ways from raising livestock to a private hunting preserve or being developed for row crop production. AG buildings (pole barn or metal barn) are permitted on AG lands as a primary structure, unlike in residential areas, where a home must be built first. The Future Land Use plan supports the current zoning of Agriculture. One exceptionally good reason this property is a rare offering is the availability of electricity. Most rural properties in the area do not have electric service. The cost of providing electric service is expensive. The sixty-eight acres is 6/10ths. mile north of SR74 via a good private grass road (easement). The road is privately maintained by the owners along the road. Septic & well are required and the general elevation is around 50-60 feet above sea level. There are no deed restrictions, there is no survey nor an environmental survey for these parcels. Prospective buyers should consider obtaining a current environmental assessment of any lands to be purchased. Most of the area's neighbors are all folks who love living here, have a good relationship with each other, and do almost anything for their community of friends. The only limitations upon the property are prescribed by the AG zoning, which permits residences, conservation, agriculture, recreation, and other uses consistent therewith. It is the purpose of the agricultural districts to provide areas for the establishment and/or continuation of agricultural operations, with residential uses being permitted only at exceptionally low densities, and to accommodate those individuals who understand and desire to live in an agricultural environment. New neighbors are discovering this area as a place to live away from the bustle of SW Florida. And lastly many do not know the fact that history flourished here as these are the same prairies of the Conquistadores, the artist Frederick Remington, cattleman Bones Mizell, & the treacherous Calusa Tribe of Ponce de Leon fame. There is plenty of natural beauty in East Charlotte County. The daytime skies offer interesting sights as the picturesque clouds grow and develop in the afternoon and deliver boundless visual entertainment. To add to the natural character of the area, the sunrises and sunsets are for the artist to paint...the nighttime view of the stars & the universe are undisturbed as there are no city lights nearby and summer showers roll across the horizon blending in with the distant pine and prairie lands. This is how most rural Floridians enjoy the country life.
