The property is cleared, gently sloping, and features a mixture of improved Bahia and native grasses. Dutch clover has been planted throughout the back pastures to provide enhanced forage for livestock and wildlife.

Portions of the back acreage are within the Florida Wildlife Corridor, adding to the property's natural character and sense of privacy. And then there's Lake Helen. A charming, quiet community where country roads, open acreage, and a slower pace of life coexist with easy access to the rest of Central Florida. You're close to I-4, within reach of New Smyrna Beach and the Atlantic coast, and conveniently positioned for access to DeLand, Sanford, Daytona, and surrounding areas. It's the best of both worlds: secluded enough to feel like your own private world, but close enough that you're never completely removed from it. Whether you envision a custom country home with a barn, an equestrian property, a working homestead, a place for livestock, or simply acreage where you have the freedom to enjoy your space, this land offers an exceptional foundation for making that vision a reality. Cattle, portable panels, feed bunks, and round bale rings do not convey.
