Early Bird Timberland & Recreational Tract

Ocala and Marion County are known for natural beauty, pristine landscapes, and a rich equestrian heritage. The Early Bird Timberland & Recreational Tract is no exception! This property features almost 1,000 acres of beautiful Florida landscapes that could provide the perfect setting for your future estate, ranch, or recreational property. With land types ranging from naturally timbered uplands to open fields to native sandhills, this tract has much to offer. The surrounding area includes cattle and horse ranches, large farms, and residential areas - any (or all) of those uses can easily be envisioned on this expansive site. The property offers a rare chance for a large (965 ± acre) developmental opportunity located just minutes from the World Equestrian Center and other Ocala-area amenities.

But development opportunities is not all that the Early Bird Timberland & Recreational Tract offers. Historically used for growing timber, the tract still boasts merchantable planted and natural pine, plus an impressive amount of natural longleaf regeneration in all stages. Often used for upland bird hunting in the past, the native groundcover is fine quail habitat and it is easy to visualize a covey exploding into the air in front of a brace of setters. The rich mineral content of the area's soil not only hearkens back to the region's history of phosphate mining, but it also fuels some impressive antler growth on the local white-tailed deer.
