Seventy-seven acres of picturesque pastures have recently been restored in accordance with USDA Organic guidelines, with no fertilizer deployed on the property.

A 215-foot, deep-water well provides potable water to the property; on-site utilities include underground electric, high-speed fiber optic internet and security cameras.
The property is easily accessible via private Gaddy Up Ranch Road, which features a 90,000-lbs.+ capacity culvert bridge over a tributary to Upper Myakka Lake.

The remarkable ranch is also near Crowley Museum and Nature Center, Florida Native Plants Nursery, Homestead Hydroponic Farm, Hidden River Fly-In Community, and the planned Terra Nova Equestrian Development.
