Below, read the full ad version of the abbreviated ad placed in several newspapers
(New York Times, Palm Beach Post, Miami Herald, and a German Language paper
published in Europe and the U.S.

Also, below the ad, look at the Stuart News photo and information regarding
development in Indiantown, FL (located 10 miles to the SE).  This was published
Tuesday 24 April 2007.  This is a description of the future plans already in place.

20 Park Like Private and Secluded Acres

Located in the Western part of Martin County off Highway 710, you will enjoy the
convenience of travel to Palm Beach, Stuart or Okeechobee, yet have the natural and
peaceful surroundings of old Florida habitat. The land can be sub-divided, which is
perfect for a builder or savvy investor with great vision. Even more appealing, you can
have a farm or ranch exclusively for one family.  This could be your palatial estate with
gardens, possibly containing a beautiful fountain in a landscaped pond.  Or it could be
your very private & secure get-away-from-it-all home to simply enjoy the peace and
quiet of country living.  If you are famous, this property offers privacy you won’t find
on any other acreage in Martin County, a county that has attracted people demanding
a higher standard for their lives.  Alternatively, it could be your exclusive horse ranch
or farm with room for an arena, stables, as well as open air riding areas.  The largest of
the three ponds is ideal for stocking with fish.  There are no fees, restrictions, or
homeowners associations.  Your neighbors are friendly, but very private people.  They
respect and value each other’s privacy as they do their own.  From the best potential
site for building your new home, you won’t see any of your neighbors’ houses.

The specific location of this property is described as follows: 10 miles North of
Indiantown on FL 710; From Lake Okeechobee, it is 3 miles to the Northeast. The
dimensions of the property are ¼ (one quarter) mile East-West and 1/8 (one eighth)
mile North-South.

Some important factors about the property:  20 undeveloped but mostly cleared acres;
One metal building 26' x 40' plus a 3 stall shed attached;  One single wide mobile
home;
 One 24' x 35' portable classroom double wide building;  One propane tank of
1,000 gal. capacity;  Two shipping containers, each 20' long; A nice mix of wooded
areas and wide open fields, making it your own private park;  Hiking, mountain biking,
and running distance of 1.1 miles (perimeter circuit of each 10 acre half, plus center of
land to the fence and back); Three water wells (one currently used, one held in reserve
as a backup, and one not used but still present); There are three ponds on the
property; Many wooded areas create a canopy with open spots & pathways and some
areas are ideal for a “camp out” for the kids; An RV hookup with water, sewer, and 50
Amp. electric service (see photo of motorhome).

As previously mentioned, the property is located in Martin County, where the school
system has consistently rated an A plus. Additionally, your choices include a top rated
Montessori School, plus college preparatory private schools including The Pines
(previously known as St. Michael’s Independent School prior to 2006, http://www.
thepineschool.org) which has grades Elementary through High School.  These,
however are about 30 miles away.

The aerial photos were taken from a Cessna 150 in March of 2000 and from a
helicopter in August of 2004.  The property has plenty of room for a helipad if desired.  
More aerial photos can be seen by contacting the seller directly and also by visiting his
website at www.FL20acres.com.

The area provides very easy access to a multitude of entertainment and cultural
activities. Downtown Stuart is 33 miles and features the Lyric Theater, the Barn
Theater, many fine dining restaurants (such as Osceola Street Café, typically $50 plus
drinks & tip for 2;  Also Gusto’s, an Italian restaurant, similarly priced), a riverside
boardwalk and seasonal festivities. Manatee Pocket has several marinas and
waterfront dining (especially Shrimper’s, where you can watch boaters docking on two
sides of the restaurant), located on the Intracoastal Waterway. There are also shows
on a regular basis featuring some of the great local artists, actors, & musicians, as well
as many national & international ones. Boat ramps surround you whether you like to
lake fish, have a scenic ride up the locks or hit the ocean for the best Sailfish fishing in
the world!  Also, being home of the best diving (especially shipwrecks), snorkeling and
surfing, the Treasure Coast Beaches are the place to be.  Another important location
feature is the new home of Torrey Pines Bio Medical Company in Traditions of Port
Saint Lucie.  This is about a 40 minute drive!

The Palm Beaches are 50 minutes away for commuting, shopping, or entertainment.
You have the Gardens Mall, Downtown Gardens, and Cityplace! The Kravis Center
features Broadway Musicals on a regular basis. For golf enthusiasts, you have many
options to challenge you including Indianwood Golf and Country Club, an 18 hole 70
par course located right in town!  PGA National is a 45 minute drive, being located in
Palm Beach Gardens, near the Florida Turnpike entrance.

Orlando, the theme park playground of Central Florida, is only 2 hours away (Disney
World, Epcot, MGM Studios, Seaworld, etc.).

West Palm Beach International Airport is exactly 1 hour’s drive.  Miami & Orlando
International Airports are each 2 hours away.

The town of Okeechobee, 20 miles from the property, is located at the top of the “Big
Lake” (Lake Okeechobee, which is about 25 miles or 40 kilometers across).  Many bass
fishing competitions are held here.  The town of Okeechobee is rapidly becoming the
new “Micropolis” of the area.  Micropolis is a recently minted term for a small city or
town serving as a major center for smaller towns, developments, and the surrounding
rural area.  For immediate needs, Okeechobee has Wal-Mart, Home Depot, a Publix &
other grocery stores, numerous restaurants, and many other services. While being a
handy source of goods, supplies, and entertainment, it is far enough away that is has
no effect or influence on the property.

This very special property is a unique gem and is priced to sell! Serious inquiries only!

To the left is a photo of
me taken in Stuart, FL on
the St. Lucie River near
the outdoor music area.  
This was taken Thursday
19 January 2012.

Below is my Ivana.
Above is me standing in
the left engine of my 757
while parked on the
ramp in Guayaquil,
Ecuador in the early
2000s.

Left is a photo of me at
my fire circle circa 2003.

Below is a photo of me
flying a 757 just after
takeoff from La Paz,
Bolivia.  I have an
oxygen mask on
because the airport is
the highest commercial
airport on the planet at
13,313' MSL.  After
takeoff, we bring the
cabin down to a lower
altitude.  Only when the
cabin altitude is less
than 10,000', can the
mask be removed.  The
mountain to the left has a
crashed Eastern 727 on
it, still with bodies in it at
around 17,000+ feet.
Left is a photo of me
eating fire at a seminar in
Las Vegas in 2003.

Below is a photo of me in
about 1977 flying my
UFM (Ultralight Flying
Machines...a brand
name) EasyRiser hang
glider with a 10 hp
McCulloch go cart
engine.  The is was one
of the early powered
hang gliders.  The whole
aircraft weighted 95
pounds.
To the left is a scan of a
photo of me at a friend's
house sometime
between 1995 and 2000, I
think.
These 3 photos were taken 6 October 2004.  In 2004 Florida had 4 major
hurricanes, Charlie, Francis, Jeanne, & Ivan.  Hurricane Francis brought this
tree down on my neighbor's metal building.  Since they couldn't afford the
$4,000 that someone bid to remove the tree, I hauled out my climbing gear (I
used to build and maintain radio towers) and removed this 12,000 pound tree
about 15" at a time.  It think it was about 60 feet tall.  I estimated the total weight
by the sectional weight of each segment.  We lowered each piece with a pulley
after cutting it off.  Before cutting a section, I drilled a pilot hole and screwed in
a screw eye to attach the rope.  The section would fall into the rope and be
lowered slowly with a friction wrap of the rope around a tree.  There were 28
steps installed.  They were two feet long 2 x 4s and about 18" to 20" between
each step.  I drilled 4 pilot holes for each step and screwed in 5" lag screws to
secure them.  Each was removed as necessary as the tree became shorter.  It
took two days to remove the entire tree.
Trampolining on my ranch circa 2000.
Hovering my 1967 Viet Nam era Warbird helicopter (a Hughes OH6-A light
observation helicopter).  This helicopter was used in Viet Nam for two years
before being shipped back the the U.S.  It is similar to the Hughes 500 flown by
"T.C." in the Tom Selleck television show, Magnum PI.

Below is a link to a video of the helicopter engine start sequence.  It is
especially interesting because the sun is shining on the instrument panel
during the start.  This gives you a view of both the instrument panel and the
blades' shadows increasingly rapid rotations during the start.
