Description

K & P Ranch is a rare opportunity to own one of Southwest Florida's premier recreational and agricultural properties. Encompassing 445± mostly upland acres, this legacy ranch offers exceptional hunting, ranching and investment potential in southern Hendry County, just 45 minutes from Naples and Fort Myers. Home to the historic Turkey Barn, formerly owned by Florida agricultural pioneer Ben Hill Griffin, the property was used to raise and release wild Osceola turkeys to strengthen South Florida populations. Today, the ranch supports abundant wildlife, including Osceola turkeys, white-tailed deer, wild hogs and numerous native species. Located at County Road 833 and Hill Grade Rd, K & P Ranch is approximately 30 miles north of Big Cypress National Preserve, 5 miles east of Okaloacoochee Slough WMA, and 30 miles southwest of Lake Okeechobee. Surrounded by large ranches, sugarcane fields, sod farms and state-owned lands, it offers outstanding privacy and accessibility. The ranch is fully fenced and cross-fenced with an active cattle lease and a pasture maintained as a sod field. Expansive open fields offer an ideal setting for dove hunting, private skeet and sporting clays, while miles of swamp buggy and side-by-side trails wind through pine flatwoods, pasture and beautiful native oak hammocks. Multiple deer feeders, game cameras and elevated hunting stands are already in place. Two updated 3-bedroom, 1-bath homes provide accommodations for owners, family, guests or ranch staff and make the property well suited for a private family compound or multigenerational retreat. Three gated entrances provide convenient access. Adding to its unique history, Discovery Channel's "Naked and Afraid" recently filmed a season on the ranch, and the campsite remains on the property. K & P Ranch is free of conservation easements, providing flexibility for agricultural, recreational, residential and investment use. The adjacent 150± acres are also available from a separate owner, creating the opportunity to assemble nearly 600 contiguous acres with paved CR 833 access. Whether envisioned as a premier hunting and sporting property, working cattle ranch, family compound, corporate retreat or legacy investment, K & P Ranch offers a rare combination of history, wildlife, privacy, productivity and Old Florida beauty.
