Welcome to this truly one-of-a-kind private ranch estate, where luxury, functionality, and limitless opportunity come together in the heart of Okeechobee. Inspired by renowned California architect Cliff May, this meticulously upgraded ranch offers an extraordinary blend of refined living and wide-open spaces. Featuring over 16,800 square feet under roof, multiple guest casitas, an impressive 8,000-square-foot concrete block building, fenced pastures, and income-producing potential, this exceptional property is equally suited as an equestrian estate, working ranch, event venue, or investment opportunity. From the moment you arrive, you'll immediately appreciate the sense of privacy and possibility that surrounds you. At the heart of the property sits the stunning main residence, thoughtfully designed with soaring 15-foot cathedral ceilings, expansive open-concept living spaces, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The grand living room flows effortlessly into the spacious dining area, beautifully updated kitchen with striking 2-inch quartz countertops, waterfall-edge island, and service kitchen. The adjacent covered loggia offers the opportunity to create a custom summer kitchen with a peninsula, making it the perfect setting for entertaining friends or hosting gatherings of any size. One of the home's most impressive features is the expansive 40' x 40' screened loggia, offering approximately 1,600 square feet of covered outdoor living space overlooking the breathtaking grounds. Whether enjoyed as-is or enclosed for additional air-conditioned living space, this incredible area serves as the perfect extension of the home and a front-row seat to the beauty of ranch life.
