4991 Homeland-Garfield Rd, Fort Meade, FL 33841

Stretching across 2,545± acres in the heart of Central Florida, Peace River Legacy Ranch is a property where size, location, and opportunity come together. Designed as a working cattle operation with roughly 400 head, the ranch is set up for growth with cross-fenced pastures, well-placed lanes, cow pens, a large commodity barn, and an equipment pole barn. Years of thoughtful land management, including frequent prescribed burning, have allowed the property to prosper, improving both grazing potential and wildlife habitat. Two wells help supply multiple pastures, while strategically located ponds throughout the ranch provide reliable water for cattle operations. Electricity already extends approximately one mile into the interior of the property, supporting future operational needs.

Accessibility is a major advantage here. The ranch offers 4,100 feet of paved county road frontage and is ideally situated just 30 minutes from Lakeland & Lake Wales, 1 hour 20 minutes from Orlando, 1 hour 10 minutes from Tampa, and just over 3 hours from Miami.

Peace River Legacy Ranch also holds conservation value. The property is a potential candidate for a conservation easement, offering both long-term protection of the land and financial benefits for future ownership. It borders a conservation area along the Peace River, sits adjacent to the Heritage Peace River Landing boat ramp, and is just a half mile from the Mosaic Peace River Park, providing direct access to recreation, boating, fishing, and one of Florida’s most scenic waterways. Combined with abundant wildlife — including deer, Osceola turkeys, quail, and hogs — the ranch offers great hunting and recreational opportunities, showcasing the ecological corridor found in this part of the state.

Peace River Legacy Ranch stands as a rare generational opportunity — a working cattle ranch with considerable conservation value and a Central Florida location that is seldom available on the open market.
