"This land track is spectacular," stated Laura Whitt a business development specialist for HAI. "The potential here is amazing. Currently the land is used for cattle operations, income producing citrus groves, sod harvesting and is renowned for its excellent hunting." She continued, "The tract features more than a 1-1/2 miles of frontage on US 17 and nearly 3 miles of frontage on Sweetwater Road. We have been advised that the Florida Department of Transportation preparing to expand this section of the highway thus making it a major North-South artery, the potential for growth along this corridor is explosive," Whitt concluded.

Both Hardee and Desoto counties have witnessed steady growth as the once much maligned US 17 has been upgraded to a four lane highway. Major chain hotels and eateries have been taking root in the area.

Proximity to both Wauchula and Arcadia exponentially multiplies the properties potential as a residential development tract. Whether designed as mini ranches, home sites or as a multi-use development. Add to this the fact that Charlie Creek meanders through the middle of this large land tract with more than 4.5 miles of navigable waterway making this site a developers dream.

Parties interested in bidding on this property should contact HAI immediately to receive property, auction and due diligence information, including taxes, zoning, title report, etc.
