You will enjoy an exceptional diversity of woods on this property, from an absolutely gorgeous array of oaks, cypress, maples and cabbage palm hammocks to beautiful tall pine woods with palmettos. The woods meander throughout the ranch, giving the property an attractive appearance, as well as excellent cover for the wildlife. Ox Creek flows from west to east the entire length of the ranch. This creek and all other tributaries and ditches drain to the large canal on the east side of the property, which is owned by the ranch and connects to Kenansville Lake. This gives you boat access to Kenansville Lake and thousands of acres of the Upper St Johns River Basin.

This Kenansville Ranch property is currently unencumbered by any conservation easements. BUT, all the attributes of this property certainly make it a good candidate, due to the property adjoining the Upper St. Johns River Basin on the east side and numerous private ranches, in close proximity that are presently under conservation easements. There is an additional 500 acres that can be purchased with is ranch.

Due to the fact the deer population has been hunted by bow only for the past 15 years, you will enjoy excellent deer, turkey and hog hunting. Long bearded gobblers are abundant on this ranch for the turkey hunting enthusiast. You have some of the best duck hunting and freshwater fishing in the state at your front door via Kenansville Lake.
