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.

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.

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
