About this property
Situated on 9.51 ± acres in Lecanto, Florida, this is a working lifestyle farm with established production, room to scale operations, and financials in place to support its performance. The farm produces approximately 800-1,000 meat birds annually (3,000-4,000 pounds), along with a laying flock of roughly 100 hens generating over 1,000 dozen eggs per year. Seasonal turkey production further supplements income, while existing infrastructure supports expansion to an estimated 300-500 hens-creating a clear path to increased production without significant additional investment. The property is improved with two mobile homes, offering immediate on-site living for an owner-operator, housing for employees, or potential supplemental rental income, supporting a hands-on agricultural operation while allowing the business to grow efficiently. A dedicated workshop and production area further enhance the property's functionality, supporting processing, storage, and day-to-day farm operations. The land offers a balanced mix of open pasture and scattered tree cover, well-suited for rotational grazing, expanded poultry runs, and additional livestock. With agricultural zoning in place, the property is positioned for continued operation, expansion, or transition into a broader small-scale farming enterprise. In addition to the physical assets, the business includes established branding, a website, domain, and customer list-providing immediate continuity and a foundation for future growth. This is a rare opportunity to step into a functioning farm with proven production, existing infrastructure, and the ability to scale into a larger operation over time.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
