Some of Florida’s finest Wildlife Habitat, 100% Protected by a High-Fence
Currently Operated as an Income-Producing Preserve
Legacy Ranch is the culmination of a dream to raise, hunt, and consistently harvest trophy-caliber whitetails in Florida. Located in Northern Hamilton County Florida, the property contains 253+/- acres of some of Florida’s finest wildlife habitat, perennial peanut fields, pines lands, and live oak bottoms. The property is 100% managed to allow bucks to reach maturity, protected by a high fence, and is stocked with the best whitetail genetics in America. This is a unique opportunity to step right into a place that has been professionally managed, well well-improved for recreation and begin enjoying it with friends and family immediately.
Legacy Ranch has exceptional roll and fertile soils of which this area is so highly regarded. The property is extremely diverse with little to no unusable land. There are two ponds and almost a mile of waterlines. It has outstanding quail woods, beautiful live oak hammocks, exceptional southern yellow pine, and many food plots principally planted in Perennial Peanut Hay.
One of the differences here is the high quality of the bucks released into the preserve. The breeder stock is exceptional. It’s very unusual to see this quality of breeders released into a preserve. The property touts the genetics of famed breeder bucks such as Horsepower, Triple Crown, Blackjack and Voodoos Magic. As such, the breeder deer are being offered separately.

The property is stocked with the best whitetail genetics in America. Preserve includes over 150 whitetails, 40-50 axis deer, a dozen blackbuck, and a small herd of Fallow.
