Wild Cow Prairie Legacy | 320 Acres at the Crossroads of History and Opportunity Welcome to 320 acres of Florida’s history and future — a place where the pulse of early industry, the quiet rhythm of nature, and the hum of modern progress all converge. This legacy land sits in Sumter County, bordered by the Wild Cow Prairie Cemetery, a nationally recognized heritage site dating to 1849, and flanked by the vast Withlacoochee State Forest.  From the earliest days of stagecoaches and river ferries to today’s roaring interstate corridors, this ground has always been a travel hub — connecting the state’s heartland to the rest of Florida.

In the early 20th century, the land entered its industrious era, operating as a lime-rock quarry that supplied stone and fill material to a growing region.  Those same strong, elevated soils now lend the ground excellent drainage and stability—qualities that make it as practical today as it was productive then.  Over the decades, nature reclaimed the quarried contours, weaving together pasture, wetland, and upland ecosystems.  The result is a landscape rich in wildlife: deer, turkey, cranes, and even the occasional alligator glide through ponds fed by natural springs.
