637+/- acres situated approximately three-quarters (¾) of a mile south of State Road 44, between Damascus Road and Ranchette Road. Access to this property is via a private easement extending south from State Road 44. Wet flatwoods and strand swamps dominate the majority of the property. Other minor habitats include basin marsh and wet prairie. Much of the flatwoods, dominated by slash pine, have been managed for pine production. The strand swamps are dominated by pond cypress. Located on the southern edge of the property is a remnant structure that is the old berm for a railroad, established in 1881. The berm of this railroad, 2,500 feet in length, has been recognized as an opportunity for development of a multi-use trail in the Volusia Trails Plan.
