"Florida Cracker Hunting Property" is a native undisturbed 5 acre parcel in Golden Ranches, a 1,200 acre rural acreage subdivision in east Charlotte County. Being “a cracker property” means the property is perfect as a recreational retreat to be enjoyed to its fullest as typical Florida natives enjoy the land & the season of the year. This is the "place to get away…a real hideaway.” The land supports a native palmetto prairie & oak, pine, & cabbage outgrowth. This parcel is laced with game trails. An excellent retreat for personal hunting by bow, crossbow or, say, shotgun. Many feral hog tracks were noted including wild turkey. Water sources for game abound in several directions. A mile to the east is a large cattle ranch & 330 feet to the north of the tract is an abandoned orange grove & to the west 660 feet an active/inactive orange grove. Often in these groves will be found wild hog, deer, turkey & small game. Recreation in SW Florida is often based on what the season offers. During Florida’s hunting season the nearby local public state game hunting lands are Babcock/Webb Punta Gorda WTF (75,000 acres), Babcock Ranch Preserve (67,000 acres) and south of Punta Gorda the Babcock/Webb Yuca Pens Unit of 14,500 acres. Access to the property is via Eugene Drive, which is the best road in the subdivision with electric service within a quarter mile of the tract. As earlier said, the season of the year brings recreation, agricultural or residential opportunities based on the season of the year. Experiences abound with many possibilities which can be: view wildlife from your tree stand, set up game camera’s, set up a small pistol/gun range (not advised as it drives game away), limited primitive camping, ride your horse, your ATV or your motor/electric off-road bikes on the parcel or in the general area on the dedicated roads. The offering has ATV/buggy trails nearby that cross other nearby properties which should require permission. Most property in the area is owned by out of town owners & some owners have never seen their property. There are a few full time residents in the area & their lifestyles must be honored. Everyone cherishes the quiet of the general area. This is the property if you wish quiet, peaceful surroundings, or a personal hunting site. When driving or riding here respect the roads & consider each intersection the possibility of meeting someone at an intersection. There are no sheds or buildings on the property, however the zoning of Agriculture allows without a permit a pole barn, metal sheds & metal buildings. Check with the county before building.
