This is a charming Florida ranch-style home, located by 80 acres of orange groves in quaint Fort Ogden in DeSoto County. DeSoto County is one of six inland counties that are referred to as the "Florida Heartland" because of their rural, agricultural character.

The Peace River is a quiet retreat where you have the opportunity to see Florida at its finest. Deer, turkey, birds, otters and many other animals all enjoy the tranquility of the Peace River.
