miles to the right (SE). Okeechobee, FL is 17 miles to the left (NW). The two towns are just under 30 miles apart. The
blue line above is Tommy Clements St., which is paved. The yellow line roads are not paved. The black lines are the
inner and outer gates. The red line outlines my ranch. The very end of the yellow line, on the ranch, is at the buildings.
for the Martin Power Plant. The red circle is the approximate location of my property. It is 5.0 statute air miles from my
ranch to the power plant. Florida State Roade 710 is at the upper left. Brady ranch's runway is upper right. The airport
adjacent to my property, Horseshoe Acres, is near the two white buildings right of the red circle.
used private airport, is in the foreground. The extended centerline of the grass runway, to the Northeast, points to the
center of my ranch. The outer entrance gate is at the "T" intersection just to the right of the Northeast end of the grass
runway. The long unpaved road extending East from the "T" intersection is SW 86th Street.
extended centerline of the grass runway you will be able to locate it. My thinking is that you will be able to see the ranch
in most photos once you become familiar with it from several directions. The white and gray fields in the distance are
the U-Pick on the East side of Florida State Road 710. The ranch is on the West side about 3,000 to 4,000 feet from 710.
again in the distance. I think this photo is from about 1100 feet above the ground. My ranch is just above and slightly
right of center. The left to right road near the bottom is SW 95th St., the next parallel street South of SW 86th St. Florida
State Road 710 runs diagonally just this side of the U-Pick. Most of the other properties here are 5 acres.
CSX railroad tracks run parallel to 710 on the West side (toward the ranch). They are probably 100 feet apart, center to
center. There is a crossing gate with arms and lights on Tommy Clements St. Most of the 5 acre properties could be
classed as hobby farms or small estates. As property values have increased, nicer homes are being built in the area.
interest, the small pond near the hangar, lower left quadrant, was the view from that property owner's dream house. He
even had a moat built around the property. Unfortunately, about 10 or more years ago, the house partly burned down
during construction. The owner didn't rebuild for unknown reasons. It was a beautiful structure and setting.
mile of parcels of 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, & 80 acres each. As I said before, most are 5 acres in size. A very few are larger.
Almost all the undeveloped land is not cleared. 5 acre parcels with "tear down" old, small, functionally obsolete homes
are now asking $400,000. 2 CBS houses on 5 acres are ask $550k each.
of the photo is Moss Ave. The next parallel road to the West, visible just East of a pond at right center, is Hopwood Ave.
This is the access road that is part of the yellow line on the top photo. My ranch is just above the center of the photo.
North from South of SW 95th St. Most of the community is in view, except for the extreme East end. My ranch is in the
upper left quadrant. You can see the white images of the two buildings on the property. U-Pick is again in view, just on
the East side of Florida State Road 710. The intersection of Hopwood Ave. and SW 95th St. is located center right
Lake Okeechobee upper right, and the power plant upper left. My ranch is off the photo to the right, approximately 1/2
mile to the right (West) of the lower right edge. A short segment of Hopwood Ave is visible extreme center right. US Hwy
98 & US Hwy 441 (one 2 lane road) follow the curvature of Lake Okeechobee.
is off the photo to the right of the lower right edge. Lake Okeechobee is visible at the upper left. You can see the straight
line of Florida State Road 710 nearing a tangent with the lake, but lying entirely East of Brady Ranch. Northwest of the
North end of Horseshoe Acres runway is an orange grove whose blossoms wonderfully scent the air in late March.
