Indian
Hill Ranch is located in the heart of Florida, easily accessible by air and car. The ranch is in rural Polk County, one hour from either Tampa or Orlando.
There is also a small airport that services general aviation about 15
miles north on highway 17
between
Bartow and Winter Haven.
Our nearest town is Fort Meade, a community that dates back to 1849 with 300 homes on the national register of historic homes.
This region of Florida was heavily
mined for phosphate. The Indian Hill Ranch property was
mined by Mobil and then reclaimed. Our Northern
boundary is slated to become a State park in the future.
Now the future park is a regional office for the
Department of Environmental Protection.
The ranch is a total of 1120 acres
running parallel to the Peace River on our East. In
the 1800’s a Creek Indian chief, Oponay, had a hunting camp
on the southern end of the ranch. Even after
mining the area yields artifacts and a hint that others
used and appreciated this land long ago.
If you would like to visit the
ranch we ask that you first call and arrange a day and
time. Our days are busy, but we will gladly make time to see
you.
