The story
40 ACRES OF CENTRAL FLORIDA LAND WITH EXISTING HOME, BARN & WORKSHOP! Rare opportunity to own approximately 40 acres of usable land in Bushnell, offering the space, privacy, flexibility, and rural lifestyle that large-acreage buyers are looking for. With a strategic location near I-75, The Villages, Wildwood, and the growing Central Florida corridor, this property combines expansive acreage with convenient access to major cities while maintaining the peace and freedom of country living. The land is the highlight of this property, featuring a desirable combination of open pasture and mature trees. The acreage offers room for horses, cattle, goats, sheep, chickens, hobby farming, agricultural use, equestrian activities, recreational space, barns, paddocks, fencing, gardens, and more. Whether you're looking to establish a small farm, create a private ranch, build an equestrian property, or simply have plenty of room to spread out, this property provides the space to make it happen. Adding value and immediate functionality is the existing 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence, along with a pole barn and large garage/workshop. The home has recent kitchen and bathroom updates and provides a convenient place to live while enjoying the property, building a future estate, or using the acreage for agricultural or recreational purposes. It could also serve as a guest or caretaker residence. For buyers considering a family compound or multi-generational property, the acreage may offer the potential to create four separate 10-acre homesites, subject to county approval. Only site-built homes are permitted. Buyers should verify all zoning, land-use, subdivision, and development possibilities directly with the appropriate county authorities. Existing private well, septic, and electric are already in place, providing valuable infrastructure for the existing residence and reducing some of the costs typically associated with rural acreage. The location is another major advantage. Just minutes from I-75, this property offers convenient access to The Villages, Wildwood, Ocala, Tampa, Orlando, and Brooksville, making it possible to enjoy a private rural setting without being far from major roadways and growing communities. Large parcels with this combination of acreage, usable pasture, mature trees, existing improvements, and Central Florida accessibility are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're looking for a 40-acre farm, horse property, ranch, agricultural property, family compound, private retreat, or long-term land investment, this property offers the scale and flexibility to create something truly your own.
