High Prairie Oaks is a 10-acre property consisting of a 660-foot square property located in eastern Charlotte County just off SR-74 in Golden Ranches Subdivision. This property is on the high plain prairie of eastern Charlotte Co. where history flourishes. These are the plains of the Conquistadors, the artist Frederick Remington, cattlemen and cattle Baron Bones Mizell, the tall and treacherous Calusa Tribe of Ponce de Leon fame and our first cracker settlers of the early 1800’s. The same pioneers who gave their all to gift this country to us.
This is absolutely one of the Best or Nicest Properties of its size along SR74 that is zoned Agriculture and for sale at this time. This is the first time in many years this property has been offered for sale. One of the great benefits of this offer is the location! The 10 acres is about 600 feet north of SR74 and as a result this highway provides you with quick access to the east coast via US27 at Palmdale or on the west coast via US17, US41 or Interstate 75 to Naples, Sarasota, Orlando and beyond. Shopping and drug stores are nearby either in Punta Gorda at US17, in Arcadia at SR70 or in Fort Myers at SR78; each about a 30-minute drive from the 10 acres.
The parcel, native unimproved agriculture land, consists of scattered pines and oaks along with a few cabbage trees making it a perfect location to enjoy the east county prairie life. Imagine a weekend retreat or cabin here…providing a few days of quiet and peaceful enjoyment away from the city life. The area has an abundance of wild game especially turkey, deer and hog. The neighboring ranches raise row crops, citrus, etc. which draws the native life to the general area. A packing house west of the property can attest to vegetables being quite an attraction for wildlife. Nearby are State of Florida game preserves, reservations of lands for all types of recreation including bicycling, hiking and fishing and hunting. One access point is just 3 Miles west of the property on the south side of SR74 at Chiquita Drive which accesses the Babcock Ranch Preserve.
