This remarkable 20-acre property--once the Waldo Circus Animal Retirement Village--offers a rare chance to own a piece of Florida history with exceptional future potential. With expansive Highway 301 frontage and surrounded by hundreds of acres of woods and meadows, it blends privacy, accessibility, and character in a way few properties can.The land still includes animal enclosures, habitat structures, and outbuildings, adding unique charm and opening the door to creative redevelopment. Whether you envision a commercial venture, residential retreat, eco-tourism destination, or mixed-use project, this site provides the space and infrastructure to bring bold ideas to life. Improvements include a mobile home, new outbuildings, electric fencing, a 4-inch well, and septic. The boondocking area was consistently booked and could grow into an RV park, campground, or nature-focused getaway. With open land and mature trees, it's a beautiful, versatile canvas ready for transformation.
