688 Acre Turn Key Farm Operation

Ranch Description

A rare opportunity to acquire large-scale, income-producing farmland in the heart of Central Florida's agricultural belt. Located along West Highway 328 in Dunnellon, this 688± acre farm is zoned A1 and features high-quality sandy soils that offer excellent drainage, ideal for consistent and diverse crop production. With nearly 100% upland acreage and virtually no wetlands, this property maximizes usable farmland.

This farm has been under the stewardship of the same family for nearly 50 years and has a proven track record of successful cultivation. Crops grown here include watermelons, peanuts, hay, millet, and more, with cattle operations also historically integrated into the land use.

The property is equipped with five pivot irrigation systems covering the majority of the acreage, supported by 8 agricultural wells, four 10-inch irrigation wells, and four 4-inch livestock wells. Currently, there is a water use permit through Swfwmd, which is valid until 2041. Additional improvements include over 22,000 square feet of open shed structures and more than 60,000 square feet of asphalt paving-perfect for equipment storage, staging, and operational flow.

Strategically located in northwest Marion County-known as the Horse Capital of the World-the farm offers convenient access to State Road 40, U.S. Highway 41, and I-75, ensuring efficient connectivity for both local and regional operations.

With its robust infrastructure, excellent drainage, and long-standing agricultural success, this property is ready for immediate use by commercial growers, ag investors, or equestrian operators seeking scale and versatility in one of Florida's most established farming regions.

Situated in northwest Marion County-proudly known as the Horse Capital of the World-this farm lies in one of Florida's most respected and dynamic agricultural regions. Marion County is globally recognized for its world-class equestrian operations, but it's also home to a rich farming tradition supported by fertile soils, favorable climate, and a strong ag-based economy.

The area has seen consistent growth in land values year after year, driven by both agricultural demand and increased interest from recreational, residential, and equestrian buyers. As development pressures continue to expand outward from nearby Ocala and Gainesville, well-located tracts like this one are becoming increasingly rare.
