In addition to the 1,058 +/- sq ft camp house, you’ll also find several pole barns, an enclosed storage shed, and an RV/camper shed with water, sewer, and electricity. You may also notice a good amount of history throughout this open eleven-acre area, proving evident as you peer across the main property grounds. According to area locals, the house parcel was established back in the 1800s which may very well be the case considering all of the historic fruit trees surrounding the main camp area. Amongst the orchard’s trees are over 60 pecan trees and at least 8 pear trees that are said to be over one hundred years of age. Other trees include black walnut, mulberry, peach, nectarine, and numerous sawtooth oaks. So no matter if you want to enjoy the camp or introduce your vision and improve upon the grounds, we think you’ll leave knowing what a special place Mosquito Creek Ranch is.The Hunting GroundsIt’s no secret that large private hunt properties such as the Mosquito Creek Ranch are becoming harder to find due to the current land rush that’s taking place in Florida. With that said, it's presumably tougher to find properties that abut an even larger well-managed timber tract. And of course, this continuous running land scenario makes for excellent free-range hunting. Combine large continuous acreage with years of consistent game management and you’ll surely see why Mosquito Creek Ranch is a sportsman's paradise. The property’s extensive trail system is crucial to the ranch because it allows for easy access to more than a dozen sizable and strategically placed shooting fields and most of these fields have a good size shooting house set in place. The trail system also carries the hunter through a number of beautiful hardwood bottoms and provides entry to other desirable hunt areas such as freshly planted clear cuts and acres upon acres of open pine stands. Another giant bonus to the land is the power company easement that allows transmission lines to cross well over a mile of the property. The hilly terrain combined with this long generously cleared area allows for some serious long-range shots. In addition, the cleared area also provides more tillable ground than you’d ever want to plant. Speaking of tillable ground, there are also several acres dedicated to annual dove shoots which provide great fun for friends and family year after year. All in all, the grounds at Mosquito Creek Ranch provide tremendous habitat for supporting deer, turkey, quail, dove and a host of other critters.The Timber GroundsThe Mosquito Creek Ranch also offers great opportunities for the investor considering it sustains over 400 acres of continuous pine timber. These massive blocks of timber are staggered throughout the property in accordance with variety and age. The stands are composed of both longleaf and loblolly pine and have previously produced $12k to 15k in annual revenue and that’s just from straw harvest alone. Straw harvest is not currently underway but with a little determination, operations could certainly be back up and running again. A recent timber cruise can be produced for serious inquiries who’d like to know more about the overall timber values. Other income-producing possibilities include leased hunting grounds and/ or paid hunt operations.
