Honey Bee Ranch: Central Florida’s Next Frontier for Development | Growth Spotter

Maury L. Carter & Associates is marketing a rare 1,100-acre waterfront property known as Honey Bee Ranch, located at 19543 E. Colonial Dr., just east of Bithlo. Once a working cattle ranch, the property now represents one of Central Florida’s most formidable development opportunities.

The site includes entitlements for over 500 residential units, with approvals for 450 mobile homes on the front parcel and agricultural zoning on the remaining acreage, allowing for 1 unit per 10 acres. With over five miles of water frontage on man-made lakes, the property offers significant potential for a highly amenitized, waterfront residential community.

Positioned between Orlando and the Space Coast, near UCF and the Central Florida Research Park, the ranch is ideally located for growth. “I think it’s the next big deal and our next frontier for development…” said Daryl Carter.
The listing is represented by Daryl Carter, Vice President Jonathan Clayton, and Associate Conrad Carter. Read the full article here: https://www.growthspotter.com/2025/04/29/1100-acre-property-near-bithlo-being-marketed-as-next-frontier-of-development/
