    Description

    Enjoy this beautiful, country-living property in The Viking Estates, also referred to as the Prairie. Viking Estates is a section of land located in Northern Okeechobee County, just south of the Kissimmee Prairie State Preserve.

    The area features lots ranging in size from .63 acres to over 10 acres. The area is ideal as it's rural enough to feel like a refuge from the daily grind, but is still on the grid, with electrical lines running in front of most properties.

    This property is zoned RSF-E which is Residential Single Family Estate zoning district RSF-E which allows for agriculture and the keeping of certain farm animals as an accessory and incidental use on lots.

    The roads in the area are primarily dirt or grass and provide easy access to all properties.
    The Viking Estates is conveniently located near many areas of Florida. It provides easy access to Atlantic and Gulf beaches, with the Atlantic beaches located an hour away and the Gulf beaches situated approximately an hour and a half to the West.

    The Viking Estates offers plenty of activities for everyone. The area is known for its hunting, fishing and ATVing, and is located just minutes away from the famous Lake Okeechobee and Kissimmee Prairie State Preserve.

    Most of the properties in this area are zoned as agricultural, meaning that you can build a house or a mobile home. However, the county has created size restrictions indicating that homes or mobiles must be 1000 square feet or larger. Agricultural zoning means that these properties are able to support farm animals as well as separate structures, such as barns or garages. The Viking Estates does not have any HOA's or POA's, meaning that there are no additional monthly fees, rules or regulations on the properties in this area.

    As with any investment, you should contact the County to double check the zoning information for the specific parcel that you are interested in, as there could be changes to the regulations and/or use permits.

    Due to its close proximity to cities such as West Palm Beach, Fort Pierce and Sebring, the Viking Estates is also very popular with residents of Florida's East Coast. These cities are between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours from the Estates by car, making this area an incredible weekend retreat opportunity for those people looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of their daily routine.

    Great location on this Viking Estates rural retreat!

      "The county has quite a few events in the five parks through thr Maine streets in town;art festivals, cookoffs. Food truck events, parades. The Agri-Civic Center hosts not only rodeos, but also the County Fair, a Halloween Festival to minimize house to house trick or treating, and anyone can sponsor a booth, with carnival type games, mini dog races. There is also a Community Health Fair each year in January, with local hospital, clinics and emergency services being involved. The Tri County Food Bank also does a distribution about three times a year. "

      "After 20 years, I still love my neighborhood and our small town. Quiet, friendly. The only downside is when the snowbirds invade us from September to around April. Then our population goes from around 25,000 to over 40,000. Traffic. Ugh. But a small price to pay for the rest of the year. "
