BUILD YOUR NORTHWEST FLORIDA ESTATE The property was recently changed to Agriculture/Silviculture, creating an exciting opportunity for a buyer looking to establish a private estate, family compound, recreational retreat or agricultural property. Rather than purchasing ordinary vacant acreage and trying to create character, the natural features are already here: creek frontage, ponds, a spring, mature woods, wildlife and substantial acreage. Imagine creating a private homesite overlooking your land, having room for barns, workshops or other permitted improvements, and waking up surrounded by nature. Agriculture/Silviculture also provides opportunities for agricultural and other permitted uses, subject to applicable Washington County requirements, permitting and approvals.

You can have the acreage, woods, creek and wildlife without feeling completely disconnected from the outside world. AGRICULTURAL TAX CLASSIFICATION The property is currently receiving an agricultural tax classification. Buyers should independently verify continued eligibility, requirements, land-use regulations and intended uses with the appropriate governmental authorities. LOCATION 5593 Porter Pond Road places you in a remarkably natural part of Northwest Florida while remaining within driving distance of Panama City, Panama City Beach and the Gulf Coast. Hwy 20 is approximately one mile away, providing convenient east-west access while the property itself retains the secluded character that makes it special. THE OPPORTUNITY There are plenty of large acreage properties in Northwest Florida. Far fewer combine substantial acreage with direct frontage on Econfina Creek, multiple water features, proximity to numerous natural springs, surrounding public conservation lands, wildlife, recreational opportunities and usable upland acreage. This property could become a private estate, recreational getaway, family retreat, hunting base, agricultural property or long-term legacy holding. Spend the morning kayaking Econfina Creek. Paddle to nearby springs. Hike or hunt the surrounding wilderness. Watch deer and turkey move across your land. Fish, explore, relax around the ponds or simply enjoy the peace and privacy of having more than 37 acres of Northwest Florida to call your own. For
