1681 West Cardinal Street, Lecanto, FL 34461

Situated on 9.51 ± acres in Lecanto, Florida, this is a working lifestyle farm with established production, room to scale operations, and financials in place to support its performance. The farm produces approximately 800–1,000 meat birds annually (3,000–4,000 pounds), along with a laying flock of roughly 100 hens generating over 1,000 dozen eggs per year. Seasonal turkey production further supplements income, while existing infrastructure supports expansion to an estimated 300–500 hens—creating a clear path to increased production without significant additional investment.

The property is improved with two mobile homes, offering immediate on-site living for an owner-operator, housing for employees, or potential supplemental rental income, supporting a hands-on agricultural operation while allowing the business to grow efficiently. A dedicated workshop and production area further enhance the property’s functionality, supporting processing, storage, and day-to-day farm operations.

The land offers a balanced mix of open pasture and scattered tree cover, well-suited for rotational grazing, expanded poultry runs, and additional livestock. With agricultural zoning in place, the property is positioned for continued operation, expansion, or transition into a broader small-scale farming enterprise. In addition to the physical assets, the business includes established branding, a website, domain, and customer list—providing immediate continuity and a foundation for future growth.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a functioning farm with proven production, existing infrastructure, and the ability to scale into a larger operation over time.

Location Description

Known for its balance of privacy and accessibility, the area offers a quiet, country setting while remaining convenient to the amenities of Crystal River, Homosassa, and Inverness.

The region supports a strong outdoor lifestyle, with opportunities for fishing, boating, and hunting, making it especially attractive to buyers seeking both recreation and land ownership.

The area continues to experience steady growth as buyers look for usable land outside of more densely developed markets. Lecanto provides convenient access to Ocala, Tampa, and Gainesville while maintaining the rural character that defines the region.
