About River Ranch: RIVER RANCH ACRES – Forty six years ago, a large Florida land developer subdivided 44,800 acres of wilderness in Polk County into about 1.25 acre lots and sold them to people all over the world, many with dreams of one day retiring here. Hard-sell land peddlers solicited prospective property owners by phone or on the streets, from New Haven and New Orleans to Rome and Hong Kong. But the 70 square miles of land, a portion of it under water, was never developed. It was one of Florida’s great land scams. Today, thousands of these land owners and their descendants still own a tiny piece of Florida. For the past years, the property has been controlled by a group called RRPOA the hunting and recreational club. They are the River Ranch Property Owners Association. They are recreational land users, hunters , swamp buggy users , ATV users & 4×4 users. They have a strong intent on keeping it that way always. A gated enclave with very few government rules. The RRPOA has rules you must follow like no illegal hunting , no track vehicles & no 2 wheel motorcycles. They have a few other minor rules too, like no cutting fences & do not cross over or under a fence, Stay on River Ranch Acres land. Know of any place like it where you got this kind of freedom? A land owner of River Ranch can camp in the temporary camping area. If you own your own land in the camping section you can camp on it. You can hunt during hunting season. You can use ATV’s, 4×4′s & swamp buggies. So far members still got that freedom. Land users are average American people who come here to have a good time. The club has been growing stronger not with hunters, but with ATV riders and others needing a place for family recreation. The weekends are spent at RR are stress-free, relaxing & fun. Not to mention, you can meet some of the most wonderful new friends ever! It is a private gated recreation area. If you pay your dues you are entitled to have a campsite and use the property for various recreational activities. Buy a lot! It’s a great place for any recreationalist. There are less and less places to off-road these days. Club members say no one actually lives at River Ranch Acres full time. Camps are for temporary use and most people come on the weekends. Some camps have hot and cold running water. Some camps have water as wells can be dug. Electric is by generator , solar power or wind power and all are allowed. All members hold a deed. You can only have a campsite in the designated camping area if your parcel is in the camp area. Landowners who pay to have the parcel surveyed can’t be forced to leave their campsite if their parcel is in the camp area. River Ranch area is part of the Lake Wales Sandy Ridge. River Ranch encompasses 70 square miles. Many people also built dirt trails all over this subdivision to access their interior lots. The zoning for the lots is agricultural/recreational acreage. These lots can be purchased to gain admission to the Hunting and Recreation Club, however it is not necessary. Many future minded investors are acquiring parcels of land in this area, as an investment for the future. With Orlando, Tampa, Lake Wales and Highway 27 area rapidly developing on the West side of this subdivision and the City of Destiny to the East, this area may experience growth and the corresponding value appreciation, in the future. So the two most obvious users of the land are those who want to take advantage of the land for Hunting and Recreational purposes and the other are forward thinking investors who see the potential for growth in the future. River Ranch Acres Subdivision is in Polk County, Florida. It is located very close to State Road 60 and State Road 630, directly east of Indian Lake Estates, a still developing subdivision. Indian Lake Estates is a fully functioning community with houses, restaurants, and churches. In Indian Lake Estates lots sold for as much as $25,000 to $30,000 for only half acre parcels. Today they can be bought cheap. River Ranch lots are not buildable at this time as paved roads and utilities are not into these lots. You can use it right now to gain access to the River Ranch Acres Camping Area or to hunt, fish and go four wheeling over 70 square miles of area. River Ranch land should be considered as an investment speculation used for Recreational use. As Recreational land becomes harder to find and to buy, speculation on investment will be considered a value. Gulf American Corp., a company started by two men who had made money selling hair conditioner to bald men, developed both Cape Coral near Fort Myers and Golden Gate Estates near Naples. In River Ranch, Leonard and Jack Rosen’s third development, they decided to sell the dream but not the actual development. The property was subdivided, but there were no plans for roads or utility lines. THIS IS A RECREATIONAL PLAYGROUND There is a “Play Pen” ( mud hole ) for ATV’s and 4 wheel drive trucks.
