About this home
Set within 34± acres of protected Florida ranchland, this extraordinary two-home property offers a rare lifestyle designed for aviators, ranchers, farmers, and nature enthusiasts seeking privacy, open skies, and the freedom to live close to the land. Surrounded by working cattle ranches, crop farms, and wide-open countryside, the property benefits from a Florida land conservation protection that prevents future development, preserving the peaceful rural landscape and ensuring lasting privacy, natural beauty, and unobstructed views for generations to come. At the heart of the ranch is a 3BR/3BA, 3,728 SF rustic lodge-style main residence overlooking a serene pond and rolling pastures. The home features soaring cathedral ceilings, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and expansive windows that bring the beauty of the outdoors inside. For aviation enthusiasts, the property includes its own private airport — BURNTWOOD RANCH (FL43) — with a 2,600' x 150' engineered grass runway, private hangar, and enclosed observation deck, creating the perfect setting for pilots who value the convenience of flying directly home. The ranch also offers excellent infrastructure for agricultural or equestrian use, including a pole barn with electric and water, open acreage for horses, cattle, or crops, and endless space to expand your vision of ranch living. A separate 2BR/1BA, 1,600 SF renovated guest residence with new roof and A/C provides flexibility for guests, caretakers, tenants, or multi-generational living. Recent improvements include new interior paint, a new pool cage, and custom gated ranch entrance, enhancing both privacy and arrival experience. Free from HOA restrictions or aviation community limitations, this property offers true independence while remaining conveniently located within reach of major highways, dining, shopping, and the international airports of Orlando and Tampa. Whether you’re landing your plane at sunset, tending livestock at sunrise, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of preserved Florida ranchland, this one-of-a-kind estate offers an authentic ranch lifestyle where nature, aviation, and privacy come together in perfect harmony.
