Welcome to 320 acres of Florida’s history and future — a place where the pulse of early industry, the quiet rhythm of nature, and the hum of modern progress all converge. This legacy land sits in Sumter County, bordered by the Wild Cow Prairie Cemetery, a nationally recognized heritage site dating to 1849, and flanked by the vast Withlacoochee State Forest. From the earliest days of stagecoaches and river ferries to today’s roaring interstate corridors, this ground has always been a travel hub — connecting the state’s heartland to the rest of Florida. Only minutes from the intersection of Interstate 75 and the Florida Turnpike, the property’s location mirrors the movement that has defined it for more than a century. What began as the Pemberton Ferry crossing—where pioneers once moved cattle and goods across the Withlacoochee—became a key link in the early rail line that united Florida to the broader South. Mile marker 831 still stands as a quiet reminder of that connection, a symbol of how transportation and commerce have always found a home here. In the early 20th century, the land entered its industrious era, operating as a lime-rock quarry that supplied stone and fill material to a growing region. Those same strong, elevated soils now lend the ground excellent drainage and stability—qualities that make it as practical today as it was productive then. Over the decades, nature reclaimed the quarried contours, weaving together pasture, wetland, and upland ecosystems. The result is a landscape rich in wildlife: deer, turkey, cranes, and even the occasional alligator glide through ponds fed by natural springs. Today, the property offers 202 acres of uplands and 117 acres of protected wetlands, forming a perfect balance between buildable land and preserved beauty. Under county policy, it qualifies for a conservation subdivision allowing one dwelling per three acres—an ideal framework for those who value privacy, natural design, and long-term stewardship. Or, bring to life the detailed RV-resort concept plan already envisioned: a destination where travelers unwind at the crossroads of I-75 and County Road 673. Picture guests gathering at the restaurant, relaxing by the pool, or exploring the surrounding forest trails—all while respecting the wetlands that make this setting so distinctly Floridian. Whether imagined as a legacy retreat, recreational haven, or strategic development project, this land embodies everything that makes Central Florida rare: history, access, ecology, and possibility. The story of Wild Cow Prairie is one of transformation—from ferry to railroad, quarry to prairie, pasture to potential. The next chapter waits for the one who sees both the heritage and the horizon. Call today for a private tour. Minimum 48 hours notice required for tour. Well worth the drive.
