By Mattie Knight


This year the town of Okeechobee is celebrating one hundred years as a community. The area has a lot to offer prospective ranchers. Okeechobee ranches for sale are available in small plots or grand ranches with thousands of acres. For people who have lived in suburban or urban America, it is impossible to imagine this much land without a freeway or shopping mall. If hundreds or thousands of acres is too intimidating, smaller plots around ten acres are also available.

For prospective property owners thinking on a smaller scale, another example is a ten acre ranch complete with three bedroom two bath home that includes a fabulous kitchen. Buyers certainly get a lot for their money in this town.

Be prepared for a lot of hard work. Working ranches with agriculture or livestock are not for the faint of heart. Start small if you are new to the lifestyle. There is no better way to be a part of the land, but with this much work you need to love the life.

Some of the properties have various structures, such as barns, pavilions and stables. With a plot of land thousands of acres large, you will need a comfortable home because there will be days when you will not leave the ranch. Choose the size you want and choose between agriculture and livestock.

For the more luxurious minded buyer there are lodges with acres of land for all manner of outdoor activities. Your land will most likely have at least one pond for fishing or be near to Lake Okeechobee. The lands are relatively flat and great for horse riding. There will be a pump house for your well water. This is the rural life at its best.

If you are in the mood to be social, the community prides itself on its hospitality. In March 2016, there will be a three day Okeechobee music and arts festival. The line up of musical talent is quite impressive. The festival will have five stages for musicians and performers. This would be a fun way to get to know the area and its people before you purchase the ranch.

You will not be far from Lake Okeechobee with seven hundred fifty square miles filled with fresh water fish. The Lake is known far and wide for its speckled perch and the large mouth bass. The waters are unparalleled for fresh water fishing, a nice break from the ranch chores. The townspeople call the lake the Big O, which is part of the Okeechobee Waterway that flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Folks who do not want to out in the water alone can purchase a fishing trip with a local tour guide.

This can be a great place for entrepreneurs to have a horse ranch open to the public. Another option is to board or breed horses. For natives of Okeechobee, the horse ranch and livestock ranches are a great way for the kids to participate in the 4H Club. You will not be able to walk next door to borrow a cup of sugar, but the town will provide you with many wonderful, friendly neighbors. Happy trails.
