Property Description
Tucked between two of Central Florida's most treasured natural landscapes, this 10-acre parcel on Cougars Cove offers a rare blend of open pasture and native timber just east of Ocklawaha. The land is a working mix of improved pasture and mature loblolly pine and oak stands, giving it flexibility for grazing, a homesite, or a private retreat shaded by old Florida hardwoods. The location is what sets this property apart. It sits just north of Emeralda Marsh Conservation Area and south of the Ocala National Forest boundary placing it in a corridor defined by wetlands, public timberland, and wide-open sky. Neighbors here are wildlife and quiet, not rooftops. Whether you're looking to run a few head of cattle, build a homestead surrounded by oaks and pine, or simply own a piece of ground between two of the region's most significant natural areas, this property delivers usable land with a setting that's genuinely hard to find in Lake County.
