While there are very few limitations on the animals you can have on the property (except for cows, which you should verify with the county), the owner has previously kept chickens, goats, and wild pigs. If you plan to have chickens, remember that you'll need a livestock guardian (such as a mule or a dog) since free-ranging chickens can fall prey to predators.
The owner shares stories of sightings of coyotes, turkeys, eagles, and bobcats, not to mention an abundance of deer.
As for security. . . the property is located directly across the street from the Lawtey Correctional Institute, yet it remains secluded behind distant tree lines for your privacy.
Bring your firearms! You can shoot whenever and wherever on the property, as the owner has already created a small shooting range onsite.
