Setting the Scene

Leading to the property, mature trees and wooden rail fences line recently-paved New Jerusalem Road. The property has an excellent mix of vegetation and dry, flat space ideal for farming, gardening, or raising livestock. The wooded areas provide privacy, beauty, and soil reinforcement.

1,000 feet of a freshwater spring fed pond loops through the northeastern part of the property, offering added beauty and private fishing.

This moderately wooded property is the perfect canvas for your vision. One neighbor has cleared his land lined with a functional and attractive plank fence, while another neighboring property remains undeveloped with mature trees and native vegetation. Several ponds in the area regularly attract wildlife like deer and waterfowl to the area.

Farming & Gardening

The mild to warm climate allows for year-round growing. Summer squash, zucchini, peppers, citrus fruits, okra, melons, tomatoes, corn, and more thrive in the warm summers. Meanwhile, leafy vegetables, lettuces, broccoli, carrots, and many herbs do well in the fall and winter. Fall is the perfect season to experience (and plant) the Florida panhandle’s vibrant wildflower display. Florida’s top four cash crops are tomatoes, oranges, sweet corn, and watermelon.
