9150 SE US HIGHWAY 301, Hawthorne, FL

This vacant Florida tract offers a rare blend of hunting-ready land and future building potential, all in a location that’s hard to beat for convenience. The property is covered in a natural mix of pine and oak timber, giving it both the cover and mast production that wildlife thrives on, and an established trail system runs throughout, making it easy to access every corner of the property for scouting, hunting, or simply exploring on foot or by ATV. One of the standout features here is the property’s border with Grove Park state land, giving it a buffer of undeveloped, naturally wooded land along that boundary. That kind of neighboring landscape adds to the sense of seclusion and helps support the wildlife activity the tract is known for, without the noise or development pressure that can come from bordering private lots. Wildlife is abundant on this tract, with deer and turkeys both well represented, and the property benefits from a managed deer herd, meaning the groundwork for quality deer management has already been laid. For a hunter looking to step into a property that’s been cared for with herd health and genetics in mind rather than starting from scratch, that’s a meaningful head start. Beyond its hunting appeal, the property is also set up for a potential home site, giving buyers flexibility that’s not always available with recreational land. Whether the long-term plan is to build a permanent residence, a weekend cabin, or simply hold the land as a hunting camp, the option to put a home here adds versatility that broadens who this property will appeal to. Location is another major selling point. The property sits in a centralized spot between Gainesville, Starke, Ocala, and Palatka, putting shopping, dining, medical care, and other everyday conveniences within a reasonable drive in multiple directions, while still offering the seclusion and natural setting that make it such a strong hunting property. That balance of rural character and practical access to several nearby cities is difficult to find in one piece of land. Altogether, this tract brings together managed wildlife, mixed pine and oak timber, an established trail network, a quiet state-land border, home site potential, and a central Florida location into one well-rounded offering. Whether the goal is hunting, building, or both, this property is ready to support it. Buyers looking for a versatile piece of Florida land with this level of development already in place should plan to see it in person.
