Property Description

This 56.53 +/- acre tract in Bradford County, Florida, combines a working cattle operation with recreational appeal and long-term development potential, all fronting one of the region's busiest corridors. Made up of parcels 02253-0-00202 and 02253-0-00203, the property offers 2,480 +/- feet of frontage on Highway 301, with paved road and deeded access from the north side. An estimated 22,500 vehicles pass the frontage daily, giving the tract strong visibility and long-term versatility. The property sits a short drive from the city of Starke, the Bradford County seat, putting local services and Highway 301 commerce within easy reach. The majority of the acreage is open pasture currently in cattle production. The current owner has run between 30 and 50 head of cattle on the property over the years, supported by grazing that is predominantly Bahia grass with a good mixture of clover. The entire property is fully fenced and cross-fenced, making it turn-key for a buyer looking to continue cattle operations, run another type of livestock, or simply maintain the open ground. A cattle pond in the northeast corner provides a reliable water source for livestock and adds to the property's utility. Beyond the pasture, the tract has real character. Scattered live oaks are spread across the property, giving it a mix of open beauty and tree cover that lends that classic "Old Florida" feel. A notable strand of hardwoods runs east to west through the southern portion of the property, breaking up the pasture with a natural buffer and providing habitat and cover. That hardwood strand also creates a layout well suited to multiple home sites or a private, multi-parcel compound, subject to Bradford County planning and zoning approval, for a buyer looking to build out the property over time. Wildlife regularly frequents the property, a reflection of the mix of open pasture, hardwood cover, and water on site, and adds recreational appeal for a future owner interested in hunting or simply enjoying the land. With paved frontage, deeded access, cross-fencing already in place, and a working cattle history, this property is ready to step into as a working ranch. At the same time, its location on a high-traffic corridor just outside Starke, combined with its acreage and layout, gives it flexibility for pasture, recreation, homesites, or a combination of all three. Properties that combine highway frontage, water, fencing, and hardwood cover in this size range do not come up often in Bradford County, making this a tract worth a serious look for cattle producers, recreational land buyers, or anyone looking for room to build in north central Florida. From Highway 301 in Starke, take the Exit for SR 16. Head west for 1/4 mile then turn left on NW 177th st. Continure for .3 miles then turn left on NW 50th Rd continue for 200 yards and the property will be at the end of the pavement.
