Our property is in the country on over an acre of grassy pasture land yet only 5 minutes from the hospital, Publix, and main roadways - US1 and I95. Enjoy peace and privacy in a natural wooded setting that is fenced and gated with only 3 sites total. A Disc Golf park is 5 minutes away as well as numerous local golf courses throughout the area. The Indian River is perfect for kayaking, jet skiing, or fishing and is a 5-minute drive. If you want to get sand between your toes, the beautiful beaches on the Atlantic Ocean are a short 20-minute drive over the Melbourne or Sebastian causeways. Disney and Orlando theme parks are approximately 1.25 hours away; less than 1 hour from Kennedy Space Center and Port Canaveral. Located in one of the top places in the country to live, Brevard County aka The Space Coast offers a tropical climate, lots of sunshine, and continual rocket launches that are easily viewed from our property.

Currently the property is raw land. With very little touch of man. It is in an old country neighborhood that touches a newer neighborhood with plenty of dining choices. There is a natural unkept pond with mucky dark water that has Lilly pads. There are parts of the Econ river that rise and lower with the seasons. There may or may not be chickens running the property. There are fallen trees and overgrown areas. There are some internal fences with gates we are working to remove or restructure. There is parking for off grid rvs. No amenities are offered currently. We behaved leashed dogs are allowed.

Beautiful Private Premium Site 45' (phase III) at the River Ranch RV Resort. Awesome tropical palms, double pad, good shade with an amazing native tree, firepit, picninc table, 2 swings chairs and a wood bench. The site has water, sewer, 30 and 50 amp and cable tv. River Ranch has a direct outlet to the Kissimmee River which is known for some of the best bass fishing in Florida and where many tournaments are held. U.S. Skeet and Shoot World competitions were also held at River Ranch. Perhaps the best known fact about River Ranch is that it holds the record for the longest operating rodeo in Florida. Many local and national champions perform here on a weekly basis. Tater Porter who lives in nearby Kennansville is a world champion Bull Rider. Also, The Saloon which was originally built in Texas in 1918 continues to be a favorite hot spot! Enjoy your stay at River Ranch! Take a horse ride, hay ride, watch a Rodeo, enjoy a night in the Saloon.

For those who are brand new to the rv/travel trailer/camper/“tiny house” living community, this is a perfect way to experience this lifestyle without making the commitment. Visiting Kennedy Space Center? We are only 5minutes away. Going on a cruise and need a place to stay before you board? Spend the night in our cozy camper that has more amenities than most hotel rooms have. This is a family-friendly Dutchmen Colorado travel trailer complete with bunkhouse, fully stocked kitchen, nice size refrigerator and freezer, microwave, gas stove, AC and heat, indoor shower, compostible* toilet, and electric fireplace. *We decided to upgrade the toilet to a compostible toilet. It’s easy to use. This is a stationary trailer parked on a driveway in a residential lot. It is ideal for small families or 4 adults or less. There is a master bedroom (with queen bed), a bunkhouse with 3 smaller/kid sized beds, and a futon/couch in there as well. There is also a couch in the living room area that converts into a bed. The dinette also converts into extra sleeping space.

Great stay. Lots of room for my dog to roam, and tons to see. Lots of animals, a full size pet pig and a family of goats with babies next door! Sean checked in on me and was available if I needed anything (which I did not). I had no issues with the 30a power. I will definitely be back!

I did a lot of research for the surrounding area and picked this one for its privacy, price, proximity to the city. We were extremely happy with our decision. The privacy was our favorite part but the water, electric plug-ins, and tree cover made it comfortable.

We enjoyed our peaceful and relaxing stay with our pups at Forever Young Farm. Such a friendly place to visit, the hosts are so kind and welcoming. A great location with a short drive to local attractions, the Beach, and outdoor activities. A great place for a bike ride too. We had plenty of space at our site with electric, a charcoal grill, fipepit, table and chairs, and a cute little palm tree for shade for the dogos. We enjoyed hearing and watching the chickens and turkeys and a cute pig who would come by the fence to say hi to the dogs. We will definitely be staying here again when in the area. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Weekend Trip to Peaceful Pastures
I was looking for a quiet get away. A place that I could escape from the busy daily grind, without driving a long distance. I live 30 minutes from this location. It’s like not being in Florida! There’s grass & real trees, like my home in North Carolina, instead of sand & palm trees. It was perfect for me & my 2 dogs. They ran free the whole time. It appears to be completely fenced in, but my dogs don’t run off, so I wasn’t worried if it wasn’t. I booked for 1 night, but after the 1st night, I booked the 2nd. The GPS brought me right to the address, but once it says,”you’ve arrived “ look to your RIGHT as you drive a bit further ahead on the dirt road, watching for the metal pole entrance gate, with the 8”x10” Hipcamp signs, or you’ll end up on a neighboring property, like I almost did! Also, keep in mind, it’s old style camping. Bring all you’ll need with you. Karen, thank you for opening up your place. It, for me is a woodsy oasis in the midst of Florida. I’ll be back for sure. Thanks again.

Lovely quiet spot- slept well at night, open space for satellite hookup for remote work, great location for access to space center or Canaveral Seashore! If you are not a morning person, you may be bothered by turkey and rooster crowing early in the morning. It didn’t bother me since I’m an early riser.

Karen's land was so welcoming and convenient during my FL adventure. She communicated clearly and responded quickly. I didn't get to spend too much time exploring as I arrived after dark and left as the sun was rising but I felt completely safe while there. Would definitely stay again when back in the area.

Very peaceful and beautiful property. We loved watching the pig and the Tom turkey. Plenty of space for our 36’ class A motor home, although be prepared for a small stretch of Florida dirt road before entering the property. No trouble just some might be leery of it. Our pup also enjoyed being able to play ball and be off leash. Great spot and would definitely come back. Had never been to this area of Florida, we loved it!!!
