The subject property is a 3,385-acre site lying in Gulf County Florida,
approximately 7 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico & Mexico Beach proper.
Mexico Beach is the eastern most ‘end’ of the gulf coast mainland white sand beaches
before the state bends south into the Port St Joe & Apalachicola areas, which are
mostly bay and mangrove coastlines, with sandy barrier islands off the mainland.
The subject land has a good deal of upland/dry land, and the site is actively managed
very well from a timber & drainage standpoint with a good internal road network.
Mexico Beach was ravaged by a hurricane 5 years ago, but it has had an
impressive rebound & rebuild. The new ‘fresh’ Mexico Beach look is actually an
improvement from the older buildings that were prevalent in the Mexico Beach
for many years.
Besides tourism & retiree relocation, the Tyndall Air Force base is also a massive
employment driver, and it is just 10 miles west of this property.
This tract is well suited for master planned development, reintroduction of timber
or ranching production, or long-term hold for conservation or other use.
Unique: Nearly 80,000 acres of contiguous land surrounding the subject
property is owned by the Deseret Ranches, a holding company of the Mormon
Church of Latter-Day Saints, who are long term ranching and timber production
landowners. In effect, this is the only large acreage contiguous tract available in
this area and should be for many years to come.
