Looking for the BEST FARM in Leon County? This 242 acre farm has been a cattle ranch since 1960. It is mostly in Bahia grass pasture and has magnificent Live Oaks throughout. It has red clay soils on 90% of the land and has some high and gentle rolling hills. From the top of these hills, we see the most breathtaking views in Tallahassee! From one of the hills, although it is a number of miles away, the St. Marks Lighthouse can be seen! There are 2 barns and a well built 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom brick home atop one of the gently rolling slopes. Farm equipment is also available. This farm was the very site of San Marcos De Capalo, a documented Spanish Mission Site. The Indians called it "Deer Town" in their native language. Of course, it is the best deer and turkey hunting in the county! Why? On the east side of this farm-the east boundary for one-half mile joins the St. Marks State Preserve which does not allow hunting. There have been a number of bucks taken on this farm (the mounts are available to be seen by serious interested buyers) that have scored over 155 Boone & Crockett Scale. Wild turkeys often go over 22 pounds! (Some gobblers have weighed in at 25 pounds!). The (joining) St. Marks State Preserve is an equestrian oriented state park and features miles and miles of horse back riding trails! There is a pond here with the head waters of Gum Creek flowing into the St. Marks River. There is no better site for a show-place Horse Ranch! If quality farm and pastureland is what you seek, look no further!
