North Port is among the fastest growing cities in the nation, and producing land like this grows rarer every month. Greenhouses were built new in 2025 (30x100 ft), with a shade house added in 2022, established nursery rows, and fruit trees full of life from years of dedication. Roughly 1,000 plants make up current inventory, including ice cream banana trees, citrus, lychees, and ornamental flowers, with virtually anything that thrives in Florida's climate growing here. Irrigation and electric run throughout since 2020, fed by three private wells at 70, 105, and 110 feet, water tested safe, feeding both the home and fields.

Storage is generous, and the laundry room includes a dedicated dog wash shower. The home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, plus a half bath in the garage, with HVAC and water heater new in 2025. All renovations were completed brand new in 2025, fully permitted. The garage is an imposing 40x45 feet with three bays and its own half bath. Plumbing and electrical are already in place for an outdoor kitchen and pool. The home is served by private well and septic, FPL electric, and Frontier internet.

Mabry Carlton Reserve, over 1,000 acres of horse trails, and the pole barn could convert to horse stalls. A chicken coop and pig pens support organic, self-sustaining living. Three parcels, sold together, zoned AG, with no HOA and no deed restrictions. Paid for outright with no loans or liens, this is a true legacy of self-reliance, built from the ground up.
