40 Acres Surrounded By Picayune Strand State Forest - Rare Hunting Tract
N/A, Lot#WP001 Naples, FL 34117
Description
Opportunity like this rarely comes to market. This 40-acre private tract is situated deep in the heart of the 74,000-acre Picayune Strand State Forest, offering the kind of seclusion, privacy, and big-woods hunting experience that is almost impossible to replicate in Florida today. If you’ve been looking for a legacy property where you can build a camp, manage wildlife, and create memories for generations, this is it. Once a fully operational hunting camp, the property is fenced and includes a secure gated entrance. The camp’s footprint is still evident, with its gravity-fed water tower, shower setup, and former power layout that once made this an off-grid retreat with the comforts of home. While the 2017 prescribed burn that escaped containment destroyed the camp structures, all the essential land features, improvements, and opportunities remain intact. Mature towering oaks surround the camp area, offering a scenic and shaded setting. Throughout the property, you’ll find multiple tree stands, feeders, and openings ideal for food plots, all situated along natural travel corridors that whitetails and Osceola turkeys utilize heavily. This tract has long been known for producing quality deer and consistently holding hogs and Osceola turkey, a rare combination in a location this remote. Additional remnants of the prior camp include the cleaning rack, tool shed area, and a built-in La Caja China-style block roasting box with a metal top, once a centerpiece of camp gatherings. With some effort, this property can be easily revitalized and transformed into a fully functional hunting camp once again. This is a once-in-a-lifetime offering: 40 acres of private land completely surrounded by state forest, offering unmatched hunting, and a truly secluded camp setting with all the potential for rebuilding. Tracts like this are scarce and do not often become available.
