Okeechobee residents are amazed that their rural town is just about to celebrate its one hundred year anniversary. The farm town community is comprised of many different sizes of ranches. You would be surprised what three million dollars can get you. Okeechobee ranches for sale mean you can be a proud land owner.Imagine owing seven hundred acres. It is as though you own your own personal town. People from the big city have no idea how to envision this much land. So you just have to see if for yourself.

There is no doubt that you get the most for your dollar with an Okeechobee land purchase. If you are thinking of a smaller, more manageable plot, ten or twenty acres will make a nice sized ranch. A four bedroom ranch house complete with well water and an enormous kitchen will be a wonderful place to make your new home.

Be prepared for a lot of hard work. Working ranches with agriculture or livestock are not for the faint of heart. Start small if you are new to the lifestyle. There is no better way to be a part of the land, but with this much work you need to love the life.

Some of the ranches are ready for you to make a home. Others need developing for housing, which really is required if you own five thousand acres. It will not be a quick drive to the nearest convenience store. Seasoned ranchers who know how to work the land are sure to find the ranch that is the right size and provides them with plenty of land to grow their choice of agriculture.

For the more luxurious minded buyer there are lodges with acres of land for all manner of outdoor activities. Your land will most likely have at least one pond for fishing or be near to Lake Okeechobee. The lands are relatively flat and great for horse riding. There will be a pump house for your well water. This is the rural life at its best.

The plots of land are vast, but the town is most hospitable. The upcoming three day music festival is a great way to get to know the community. In March 2016 many big name musicians will gather together making music for your listening pleasure. With five stages, artists, performers and great music, you will not want to miss out on the fun.

Lake Okeechobee is the pride of the town. The fishing is the absolute best and known for the plentiful supply of fresh water fish such as speckled perch and large mouth bass. Those who are new to fishing can hire a tour guide to show them around for the day and provide some fishing education. The lake is called Big O and is among the largest United States lakes. The shores include hiking trails, and there is plenty of water for an outstanding boat ride.

Maybe you have dreamed of owning a horse ranch where families and children can learn to ride. There is plenty of land to board or breed horses. This is the type of ranch that would be open to the public, which is great for the social minded rancher. Whether your ranch grows crops or raises livestock, both are great ways to raise a family. The young ones will have plenty of opportunity to be a part of the 4H Club. There is land as far as the eye can see. Welcome to a home where the livestock roam.
