Property description

PublicRemarks:-“High Prairie Acres” is a remote 5 acre offering located in the back portion of Golden Ranches adjacent to a large ranch east of the subdivision. History flourishes in east Charlotte Co. as these are the prairies of the Conquistadors, the artist Frederick Remington, cattleman Bones Mizell, & the treacherous Calusa Tribe of Ponce de Leon fame. Golden Ranches is a 2 sq. mile area of scattered small ranchettes & undeveloped parcels owned by mostly out of state property owners. It is said this area is an absolute perfect location to enjoy the east county prairie life of privacy and quietude. Indications are the 5 acres has never been cleared or farmed except for range cattle most likely many decades ago. Private dirt/marl road access…roads are not county maintained but maintained by owners through owner’s cooperation as there is no property owners association. Power is not nearby, but solar and generator power is permitted. Septic & well are required and the property is not fenced or surveyed. The elevation is about 50-60 ft above sea level. There are no home structures nearby except for a few built structures about a half mile to the west. There are no deed restrictions. The land is zoned Agriculture (AG) and is still native with scattered pines, a few oaks and palmetto...yet easy to develop for whatever rural plans you may have. The sunrises & sunsets are most colorful and scenic…the night time view of the millions of stars along with the daytime summer storms exhibit colors and ideas which never come to an artist in a dream. Access throughout the subdivision is via privately maintained marl roads with some ditching. Recreation in SW Florida is often based on what the season offers. Seasonal hunting is permitted on local state game and private preserves. Opportunity waits for those who like fishing, riding your ATV, motor bike or just walking-stalking around in the area depending upon the time of the year. The only limitations are prescribed by the AG zoning which permits all uses under the description including low density residential (1 home per parcel), conservation, agriculture, recreation & 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 very low densities and to accommodate those individuals who understand and desire to live in an agricultural environment of quiet privacy.
