At SVN McDonald & Company, land is in our DNA. We speak the language of ranches, horse farms, large-acreage tracts, pasture lands, production farms, recreational properties, and transition land. Ranch stewardship has been an integral part of each of our family stories, shaping how we understand, evaluate, and market land. We know the feeling of saddling a horse at daybreak, walking a fenceline, thinning pines, planting a food plot with your kids, or resting in the shade of a live oak after a long day outdoors. These aren’t just fleeting moments; they’re treasured memories that connect us to our clients and to the land we’re fortunate to help steward. Since 2007, we’ve been headquartered in the heart of Florida’s horse country and are trusted advisors for landowners across Marion, Alachua, Lake, Sumter, and Levy counties. We help families, individuals, and companies market their land confidently to achieve the highest possible value in the shortest time. Our team combines local roots and boots-on-the-ground knowledge with global marketing horsepower to guide you through every step of the land journey with care and expertise.
