LAKELAND, FL, August 9, 2021 – Just 5 miles from Ocala lies an exclusive 2,725 ± acre ranch built for wildlife enthusiasts, recreationists, and avid hunters. Jeff Bewsher, an Advisor & Certified Wildlife Biologist at SVN | Saunders Ralston Dantzler Real Estate represented the buyer of this magnificent property, and Daryl Carter and John Evans of Maury L. Carter & Associates, Inc. represented the seller. On August 2, 2021, this impressive, one-of-a-kind ranch sold for a total of $15,500,000.
Located east on the Ocklawaha River, Cow Hammock Ranch provides a top-notch, well-managed habitat for an abundance of wildlife. Professionally managed for over a decade, the ranch is high fenced and a fully licensed hunting preserve. Inside the boundaries of the high fence are over 20 species of exotic and native wildlife that roam freely on the property.
“There are a lot of listings out there, but only certain properties have the amenities and location that offer high quality and maximum recreational potential. I try to focus on those properties and what they can offer to my client. Cow Hammock Ranch is certainly one of the best remaining best high fence ranches in Florida,” said Bewsher.
The new owner of the ranch will enjoy trophy quality hunting and relaxation with family and friends in the 6,000 ± SF lodge for dining and entertaining, a 4 bedroom bunkhouse, state-of-the-art game cleaning station and cooler, two large shops for equipment, and more. Cow Hammock Ranch is uniquely located and allows owners to experience remote living with upscale amenities.
“This transaction was a pleasure to be a part of and I am thrilled to help my client find this exceptional property,” said Bewsher.
