OVERVIEW

The Hendry County WRP Hunting Tracts are 3 tracts of land located in the heart of southern Hendry County. This ranch represents some of the finest fair chase, recreational hunting land in the region. The property has been properly managed to ensure game is abundant and plentiful. The natural landscape here can be classified as “Old Florida” and offers breathtaking views of untouched pristine land. Mature timber hammocks with scattered improved pastures comprise the general landscape and offer phenomenal ambush points for targeted game. Resident game populations include, whitetail deer, Osceola turkeys, wild boar, waterfowl, quail, bobcats, otter, coyotes, rabbits, alligators, and raccoons. The amount of wildlife on these properties cannot be overstated. It is believed that over 100 deer, turkey, and boar were observed on this property at the time of the initial inspection. The land is currently being offered in 3 tracts of land totaling 3,082± acres. These tracts can be sold in one single bulk transaction or can be sold separately if desired so by the buyer(s). Although the property has no frontage along County Road 833 or Kery Road, cross access easements will be in place to allow the buyer to easily access their land from the county-maintained roadways. The Hendry County WRP Hunting Tracts has been conserved in a permanent Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) Easement. The purpose of a WRP easement is to protect, restore, and enhance environmentally sensitive areas in exchange for retiring certain rights of the property. In this case specifically, the landowner is afforded the right to hunt, fish, and quietly enjoy the land. No permanent structures may be erected on this land; however, motor coaches/RVs are allowed to temporarily camp on the property. In addition, the land cannot be reshaped into farmland. It is to remain in its natural state in perpetuity. This property currently generates two different sources of income via yearly leases. A cattle lease is in place in which $49,312 ($16/acre) is paid yearly in exchange for the rancher to utilize the grazing rights of this property. The cattle lease helps to improve the land by keeping the grass maintained and preventing overgrowth of vegetation. An additional hunting lease is also currently in place. The hunting lease generates $61,640 ($20/acre) per year and can be terminated at any time upon proper notice. This gives buyers the flexibility to keep the hunting lease in place should they desire to keep the income or terminate the lease should the buyer desire to withhold the hunting for themselves. The total yearly income generated from these two leases is $110,952/year and is prorated per acre. The Hendry County WRP Hunting Tracts is truly a remarkable recreational property that is being offered at a price significantly less than surrounding properties. Opportunities like these are extremely rare to find and will be highly sought after. PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS: • 3,082± acres of some of the finest hunting lands in the state of Florida • Parcels can be sold in bulk or separately • High population of deer, turkey, and hogs • Currently generating $110,952/year in lease fees • Property is surrounded by state protected lands • Land priced significantly lower than all other recreational properties in the area • Breath taking natural views of untouched “Old Florida” landscape ADDITIONAL PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS: The Hendry County WRP Hunting Tracts are surrounded by more than 52,000± acres of land owned and protected by the state of Florida in perpetuity. The surrounding state-owned Land greatly benefits the hunting capability of this land. For example, no feeders or feeding programs are allowed on the state-owned tracts and they are protected from hunting on a very limited basis. It is common to see multiple game species leaving the state-owned lands to come eat at the feeders/ feeding areas located on the hunting tracts of the subject property. In addition, no land maintenance occurs on the state-owned lands where as the hunting tracts property is regularly mowed and maintained. These differences help to draw the game off the state lands further increasing the endless amount of hunting game this property holds.
