Property Description

Some places make you slow down the moment you arrive. This secluded 40-acre farm in Chiefland, Florida, is one of them. Surrounded by a 5,000-acre tract of timber, with just one nearby neighbor, it offers the space and quiet to enjoy North Florida as the current owner and his family have for more than two decades. The owner built the home in 2004 as a place to get away with family and close friends. Over the years, it has been the setting for hunting and fishing stories, afternoons by the stocked pond, and more wildlife encounters than anyone could count. Whitetail deer, Osceola turkeys, and bobwhite quail are part of the experience here. You may even spot the resident otter. A portion of the land is currently planted in a native food plot mix to attract wildlife, and staggered pines along the property's perimeter add another layer of privacy. Closer to home, mature live oaks draped in Spanish moss give the place that unmistakable Old Florida feel. The screen doors creak and slap the frame behind you. The sunsets have a way of drawing you outside every afternoon. And when night falls, the sky opens up away from the lights of town—something stargazers will appreciate. The home is comfortable and welcoming, with an open floor plan, tall ceilings, abundant natural light, and two ensuite bedrooms. Covered porches offer plenty of room to sit with a cup of coffee, watch the wildlife, or listen to the sounds of the property at the end of the day. Whether you're looking for a hunting retreat, a place for family getaways, or a rural home where you can settle in and stay, this farm offers something increasingly hard to find: room to roam, a close connection to nature, and a setting that feels like Old Florida.
