Description

'High Prairie Oaks is a oak clad former citrus grove located in East Charlotte County. Has paved road frontage. A highly attractive property and one that I would say is one of the prettiest parcels I have listed in my 46 years of selling east Charlotte Co. acreage. This parcel is part of a former 3,640 acre citrus grove developed decades ago by the Freeman Bros. of Miami. Later sold to American Agronomics as the Bermont Grove unit & then resold and managed for investors around the world. Presently there is no existing citrus trees under production on this tract. A few citrus root stocks remain...probably Cleo-Mandarin. The land has returned to a natural Southwest Florida flatwoods environment of many oaks & cabbage trees. There is drainage on three sides. The main drainage ditch to the north side of the property permits drainage westward via Myrtle Slough to Shell Creek, the Peace River & onward to Charlotte Harbor & beyond. Drainage is managed through the East Charlotte Drainage District at about $672 per year which is included in the annual taxes. Zoning is AG or Agriculture. The only limitations are prescribed by the AG zoning which permits all uses under the description including low density residential (1 home per parcel), conservation, agriculture, recreation & other uses consistent therewith. It is the purpose of the agricultural districts to provide areas for the establishment and/or continuation of agricultural operations with residential uses being permitted only at very low densities & to accommodate those individuals who understand & desire to live in an agricultural environment of quiet privacy.
