Cypress Island Ranch

Investment Overview

Cypress Island Ranch is one of the most beautiful ranches in Florida: 7,740± contiguous acres across 12 sections in Hendry County. Improved pasture and irrigated farmland give way to sprawling hammocks of oak, palm and cypress, along with open cabbage palm savanna. It is a true working ranch, highly productive for beef cattle with an exceptionally high carrying capacity. Seasonal ponds and wetlands water the herd and draw abundant wildlife. The property has had almost no hunting pressure for decades and holds large bucks, wild boar, turkey, dove and quail. The headquarters sits just off the county road. It includes a ranch house, a large metal equipment barn and shop, and a covered well and pump station, with power on site. The ranch is fenced and cross-fenced, with penning lanes leading to a large set of cow pens, and interior ranch roads run throughout. Conservation Easement: About 3,580± acres of the ranch are under a permanent Wetland Reserve Easement held by USDA NRCS, recorded in 2017. The easement protects and restores wetlands, wildlife habitat, water quality and flood storage. The remaining 4,160± acres of pasture and farmland are not under this easement. Contiguous properties of this size almost never come to market. This is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Florida’s heritage. Price upon request. Showings by appointment only.
