Why they chose this property

We live in the middle of the Ocala National Forest. This area was just voted top 25 places in the world to visit by National Geographic! We are close to beautiful springs and waterways. Lots of wildlife and great for hiking.

What makes this property unique

We have the best of both worlds with the National Forest and all that has to offer and Daytona beach an hour away. Lots of great fishing, hiking, and off-roading!
