Once you step foot on Oak Ford Ranch the outdoor activities it provides seem endless. With miles of trails and cleared paths already in place you could ride horses, UTV’s, or hike all day long.

Sarasota County is home to a diverse range of wildlife. On your ranch, you might see everything from deer, turkey, and wild hogs, to a variety of bird species. The peace of having this kind of nature at your doorstep could be one of the most enjoyable aspects of ranch ownership. If you need a place to sight in your rifle before the evening hunt then just stop by your own private shooting range. There are several targets out to 600 yards for even the most discriminating shooter. Included on the range is a spot for pistol shooters to sharpen their accuracy as well. The subtropical climate means warm summers, and mild winters which is perfect for anyone seeking a ranching or farming lifestyle. Most of the property is already fenced and cross fenced awaiting your cows or horses. Having this many acres leaves plenty of room to cultivate crops, and the Florida climate would support a wide variety of agricultural pursuits.

There is an air condition office inside the building for when you need to work remotely. With such a large tract of land, there could also be long-term investment potential.
