10 Acre Florida Homestead Near NSB Beach, Lake Helen, FL

10 acres
Historic GrayDawn Farm sign, the farm was originally used for horse breeding. Currently being used as a commercial cattle operation, the ag classification/ Green Belt allows for any use from hay fields, orchards, groves, farming, etc. If you've dreamed of owning a piece of Florida heaven that's convenient to town, but feels like the country- this is it!
Buildings, oh the outbuildings! This sprawling property has two enormous barns with room enough to house all of your animals and your toys. No HOA means you can park your boat, jet skis, RV, trailers, side-by-sides, etc. The potential uses abound!
This front view of the outbuildings taken from E Ohio Avenue, a county maintained paved road, shows the equipment barn on the left-hand-side and the A-frame horse barn to the right. Facing North you can see these outbuildings and the feed room/ tack room.
The metal equipment shop is a Morton building. This building has multiple bays for parking tractors and toys. Put roll doors on it and it becomes a secure shop! What more does a country estate need?
Want to build a home? The current zoning allows one home per five acres. That's two houses! This is the front block; this photo is taken facing due North. It is mostly cleared, improved pasture with a handful of mature oak trees. It is located entirely in Flood Zone X, which means you are not required to carry flood insurance. E Ohio Avenue runs from East to West, to the South. Additionally, E Ohio Ave is a county maintained, paved road.
Another view of the front block. There is a power pole already in place. NOT pictured: Spectrum cable box located out near the roadway, outside the property fence line.
Facing south, E Ohio Ave is on the far side of this photo. A great location with convenient road access!
Another view of a possible homesite! Near the roadway, this high and dry parcel allows you to have easy road access. I-4 is only five minutes away!
This fenced in lane serves as a farm access road to the barns and the back pastures! Another power pole is viewable which provides power to the barn, equipment shop, well, and feed/ tack room.
Looking out from the A-frame barn to the rear pastures. The large oak tree in the back is a family favorite and has a small creek that runs past it during the rainy season.
View of the fenced lane, facing South towards the roadway and the block where a future home could be built.
From this sideview you can see the electric and well. This property is already set-up with both. Planning is everything! The well has a new tank, valve, and switch.
The spacious, covered A-frame has 8 stalls. Several of them are gridded to keep pesky animals in and safe! Perfect for housing goats or stud horses. On the opposite side are standard stalls perfect for geldings and mares, or even cattle.
On rainy afternoons, this large fully enclosed sand clay floor barn serves as a riding arena, complete with lighting! Perhaps a show calf or two has been weaned or fed in this barn. Additionally, family parties, kids' sporting celebrations, and church events have been hosted here. This space has been fantastic for the current owners private parties- it could be for you, too!
The stalls are all approximately the same size! They're beautifully crafted from wood with wood doors. This is not a new barn. It's over 50 years old!
Just another fantastic view facing North looking out across the barn to the back pastures.
Two larger stalls exist outside of the barn, located on the east side. Currently, cattle use these stalls to get out of the rain and sun. In the past, these stalls were used as foaling stalls for brood mares.
Another of the interior stalls currently set up for horses.
Tack room, feed room, storage room. This concrete floored room is versatile!

The Northwest rear side of the barn. This pasture is spacious and three run-outs are visible in the picture, as well as the backside of the equipment shop (steel Morton building).
Run-outs, or run-ins. These offer animals a chance to get inside out of the elements when you're not home to put them away.
More run-outs! Animals all have their own space.
This paddock, or pasture, has not been previously pictured. It is located behind the Morton Building (equipment shop) on the Northwest boundary of the property.
