Discover ~105 acres in Lake City, Florida, directly bordering the Osceola National Forest—now spanning more than 266,000 acres of public land. This rare tract combines timber value, investment potential, and exceptional recreational opportunity. Approximately half the acreage is in ~20-year slash pine that could be clear-cut now, providing immediate return. With abundant dry ground, an investment-minded owner could replant at a higher density than current stocking, positioning the property for future timber income. The land features established trails, food plots, and stands, yet has seen very little hunting pressure in recent years—creating prime habitat for trophy whitetails, turkey, and other game. With 2,280 feet of paved road frontage, access is excellent and offers the possibility of subdividing if desired. At the edge of the property—just steps from direct access into the National Forest—sits a rustic 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin built in 1940. Since being purchased in 2014, the cabin has been extensively updated, including a large sunroom addition, and offers a comfortable hunting basecamp or a foundation for vacation rental income. Equipment shelters provide additional storage for land management or recreational gear. The Osceola National Forest itself provides unmatched recreational resources: fishing opportunities in nearby Deep Creek, lakes and ponds, an expansive trail network for hiking, horseback riding, off-roading, and exploring untouched Wilderness areas. It even boasts a well-maintained public shooting range. Whether your focus is hunting, timber production, vacation rental, or future development, this property delivers privacy, versatility, and direct access to one of Florida’s most extensive natural playgrounds.
