Broker Comments
“I have been watching this property for several years as it holds some of the greatest conservation potential of any tract in North Florida. Gordon Chapel is a key component of the Florida Wildlife Corridor and has incredible biodiversity. It has been neglected for several years and still holds a robust wild quail population without any management or fire. The Buyer, who we represented, has proven themselves to be a champion of conservation while practicing the highest standards of land stewardship and is making this investment with the express purpose of restoring this great piece of Florida land. I am incredibly excited to see the transformation that will happen over the next many years!”

Much of Florida’s land is connected by water, both visible and invisible and it is a critical piece of Florida’s past and future. I commend our client for stepping in to rescue a critical piece in this link.”
