About Me
Welcome,
I created this site to share a very unique area known as the Viking Estates (also known as The Florida Prairie).
I have personally owned and enjoyed land here on the The Florida Prairie Estates for the last 20 years.
This has been my best investment and has kept my balance with mother nature and brought my family closer together.
I am available personally to help show you the properties and to help explain the many benefits of owning land in Okeechobee County on The Florida Prairie.
Thank you for your interest. Let me know how I can help.

Philosophy
There is a growing movement among some of the biggest names in real estate development towards what the New York Times has called a, "New Ruralism".
As thousands of condominiums continue to be built along the major corridors of South Florida's cities, a new lifestyle and investment opportunity has begun .
Pursuing a value creation strategy focused on reestablishing connections with the land that was once the heart of America's farms, ranches, and rural communities.
More and more the illusion that the city can feed your self has been shattered by the recent economic crash and owning land away from the beaten path makes a lot of sense.
I want to share also my Very Special Refuge with those seeking a special place to park their RVs, or tent, or get a cabin to unwind, relax and get in touch with your true selfs.
Throughout the entire area is some of Florida's best fishing.
Spring lakes, the Kissimmee River, seasonal hunting, and off road terrain.
Night time is especially beautiful where you can see literally millions of bright stars like you have never seen before.
Enjoy relaxing by a camp fire and watch falling stars all night long.
A great investment area and you can enjoy some of Florida's finest nature and good fun.

A SPECIAL KIND OF RETREAT
As South Florida continues to grow, living around Lake Okeechobee will become very attractive to those who want to escape the dense population along Florida's east coast.
Communities near the lake will provide the kind of rural retreat that many professionals long for; the quiet of the country with the proximity to urban opportunities.
The lake provides the perfect backdrop for those who want to live a calmer lifestyle, closer to nature and further from commotion.
