7660 NE 304TH ST, Okeechobee, FL 34972

Opportunities like this don't come back around. In Okeechobee County, fully permitted limerock mines are no longer just rare, they're rapidly disappearing. Increasing regulation, surging construction demand, and the near impossibility of securing new permits have turned existing reserves into some of Florida's most constrained and appreciating hard assets. This property places you on the right side of that equation immediately.

From day one, this is a cash-flowing operation. Not a speculative play. Not a long-term hold waiting for approvals. The property is currently generating income through the crushing and sale of recycled concrete and fill dirt, delivering active cash flow today while preserving its permitted limerock reserves.

But what truly separates this offering is what surrounds it. This isn't just an asset — it's a lifestyle advantage. Positioned in one of South Florida's premier sporting corridors, the property gives you direct access to elite shooting and hunting experiences just moments away. The kind of proximity and access that typically requires memberships, travel, and planning — here, it's simply part of daily life.

Very few properties offer both immediate, reliable income, a finite, appreciating resource in a supply-constrained market, and a setting that supports a premium outdoor lifestyle, with the added potential for a 106-acre expansion that could bring total permitted reserve value, at today's pricing, to an estimated $150 to $170 million.

Fewer still do it at this level. This is a strategic acquisition for buyers who understand scarcity, value hard assets, and recognize that the combination of permitted reserves, FDOT certification, expansion potential, and prime location is becoming nearly impossible to replicate.

If you're waiting for another opportunity like this, you'll be waiting a long time. Secure your stake in one of Florida's most strategic assets: a fully permitted, cash-flowing limerock mine in Okeechobee County. As the state's limerock supply continues to dwindle under relentless construction demand, tightening environmental regulations, and the near-impossibility of securing new permits, existing permitted reserves have become an exceptionally scarce and appreciating commodity. This operation delivers immediate income while holding substantial high-quality, FDOT-certified reserves, positioning it as a premier long-term investment in a market where permitted limerock is increasingly viewed as a finite, high-value resource.
