Located just outside the city limits of Starke, Florida, this +/- 32 acre tract sits less than five minutes from the heart of Bradford County. Starke serves as the county seat and is currently seeing growth, giving this property both a quiet outside of town feel and long-term positioning for buyers thinking about future land value. The tract is accessed by paved road along its west boundary, a rare and valuable feature for a property of this size and character, offering easy, all-weather access without sacrificing the sense of seclusion found once inside the property line. Timber value is a major part of this offering. Approximately 20 acres of merchantable loblolly pine cover a large portion of the tract, representing an established stand with both immediate and long-term value. Strong hardwoods line the north side of the property, adding habitat diversity and visual character. Approximately 8.6 acres of wetlands round out the acreage, contributing to the property's wildlife habitat and natural drainage. Wildlife activity is evident throughout, with game trails and deer sign found across the tract, making this a strong candidate for hunting and general wildlife viewing. The mix of pine timber, hardwood cover, and wetland edge creates the kind of varied habitat that whitetail deer and other game favor. The layout of the property lends itself well to a secluded, private retreat, tucked away yet still close to town, or as a straightforward land holding for a buyer thinking about future development given Starke's growth and the property's proximity to the city. Whether the priority is timber income, recreation, or simply holding ground in a growing part of North Florida, this 32 +/- acre Bradford County tract offers a combination of access, timber, wetlands, and wildlife habitat in one connected package.
