1418 NW 141st St, Okeechobee, FL 34972

This extraordinary four acre homestead located on a dead end street in one of the more desirable areas of Okeechobee County is turn key for the buyer seeking a self sufficient lifestyle in a quiet country setting. All of the surrounding neighbors are on acreage and it is located on a paved road 12 miles north of the City of Okeechobee. The dwelling is an older 3 bedroom 2 bath double-wide with a metal roof in good condition. It is encased in T-111 and has covered porches front and rear. A new central air unit was installed in 2004 along with all new ducting. Three wells on the property all with Goulds pumps, one with an additional pitcher pump. The main pump for the house is a new 1 HP Goulds. Another well is also plumbed to this system for backup. Kinnetico Water System with carbon filter and water softener. 20 KW Detroit Diesel Generator fed by a 120 gallon fuel tank and hardwired to the electrical system. (This generator will run the entire property including the central air unit) 2,000 SQ FT Barn with (5) 12 X 24 bays (two with rollup doors), (1) 15 X 24 bay, and (1) 12 X 20 bay. The barn is pole and truss construction with a concrete floor, cedar siding, and metal roof. Water and electric are available throughout. Optionally: The fully enclosed bays of the barn house an extensively equipped woodworking shop. Most all of the equipment is relatively new and is exclusively Grizzly. Included is a 5 HP Ingersoll Rand air compressor. There are several built in benches and storage. 500 SQ FT open pole Barn with an attached 500 SQ FT deck. Water and electric. Perfect for a band and some dancing....or cleaning fish. 165' Rohn 55 tower with feeds into the house for Amateur radios and wireless Internet providing adequate communications during any event. The tower was erected by a professional in 2010. There are currently antennas mounted for HF, UHF, VHF, and wireless Internet. The tower features elevated guy points to make them easier to mow around. 15,000 SQ FT Pond with a maximum depth of 30'. We struck a few springs when digging this pond so it stays full unless there is a significant drought in which case there is a well and pump available to keep it topped off. There is an 8 X 24 dock with power, shower, and deck lighting. There is an overhead high output flood light that illuminates the entire pond for night time swimming. The pond is fully stocked with bass, bream, speckled perch, and tilapia. There is an occasional soft shelled turtle or alligator that may wander through. (They all eat great!) Approximately 5,000 SQ FT elevated house pad that was constructed in 2009 to accommodate a new home. 5,000 SQ FT Garden enclosed with 2" X 4" welded wire fencing topped with a strand of electric wire to keep the varmints out. The garden is equipped with underground irrigation and risers with ball valves and fittings that accept 3/4" drip tape. The dark soil in this garden is superb for growing organic vegetables and is tested yearly. The results from the University of Florida consistently suggest only a minor application of nitrogen and lime to reduce acidity. All other essential elements are adequate. 8 X 8 Garden Shed located at the corner of the garden provides storage for tools, fertilizers, etc. and houses the pump and plumbing controls for the underground irrigation to the garden. This pump also functions as a backup to the main pump that provides water to the house. The shed has plywood floors and a metal roof. Chicken coop that will accommodate approximately six laying hens. The coop has a 8 X 16 fenced, covered, and wire floored external run to provide a safe outdoor area for the hens.
