Description

**K & P Ranch** is a rare opportunity to own one of Southwest Florida's premier recreational and agricultural properties. Encompassing approximately **445± acres of mostly upland native Florida landscape**, this legacy ranch offers exceptional hunting, ranching, and investment potential in southern Hendry County, just **45 minutes from Naples and Fort Myers**. Home to the historic **Turkey Barn**, formerly owned by Florida agricultural pioneer **Ben Hill Griffin**, the property played an important role in raising and releasing wild **Osceola turkeys** to strengthen native populations throughout South Florida. Today, the ranch continues to support abundant wildlife, including Osceola turkeys, white-tailed deer, wild hogs, and numerous native species. Located at the **County Road 833 and Hill Grade Rd intersection**, K & P Ranch is approximately **30 miles north of the Big Cypress National Preserve**, **5 miles east of the Okaloacoochee Slough Wildlife Management Area**, and **30 miles southwest of Lake Okeechobee**. Surrounded by large working ranches, sugarcane fields, sod farms and state-owned conservation lands, the property offers outstanding privacy while remaining easily accessible. The ranch is **fully fenced and cross-fenced** and currently has an active **cattle lease**, with one improved pasture maintained as a **sod field**. The expansive open fields also create an outstanding setting for dove hunting and provide ample room for private skeet and sporting clays shooting, making K & P Ranch an ideal destination for year-round outdoor recreation. An extensive network of swamp buggy and side-by-side trails provides access throughout the property, winding through scenic pine flatwoods, open pasture, and beautiful native oak hammocks. Designed for sportsmen, the property includes **multiple deer feeders, game cameras, and elevated hunting stands** already in place. Two recently updated **3-bedroom, 1-bath homes** provide comfortable accommodations for owners, guests, or ranch staff. Three gated entrances offer convenient access and operational flexibility. Adding to its unique history, **Discovery Channel's "Naked and Afraid"** recently filmed a season on the ranch, with the campsite still remaining on the property. Importantly, K & P Ranch is **free of conservation easements**, providing exceptional flexibility for agricultural, recreational, residential, and long-term investment use. For buyers seeking additional acreage, the **adjacent 150± acres are also available for purchase from a separate owner**, creating the opportunity to assemble nearly **600 contiguous acres with paved road access from CR 833**. Whether you're searching for a premier hunting and sporting property, working cattle ranch, family retreat, corporate getaway, or legacy investment, K & P Ranch offers a rare combination of history, wildlife, productivity, and Old Florida beauty that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
