About Farm and Nursery Properties in Sumter County
Sumter County, home to The Villages — the largest age-restricted retirement community in the United States — presents a farm and nursery market unlike any other in Florida. The community's 130,000+ retirees generate extraordinary consumer demand and development pressure that define the farm and nursery opportunity across the county.
Sumter County's farm and nursery market is defined by the collision between traditional agriculture and The Villages' development machine. Historic farming operations along CR 470, in the Webster area, and west of US 301 continue to produce cattle, hay, sod, and nursery stock, but the land beneath them is appreciating at rates driven by residential development demand rather than agricultural productivity. Nursery operations in Sumter County have found a reliable customer in The Villages' landscaping requirements — the community's golf courses, common areas, and individual homes consume enormous volumes of ornamental plants, sod, and shade trees. For farm and nursery operators, the strategic question is whether to continue agricultural operations or capture the development premium. For investors, Sumter County farm properties offer the agricultural exemption tax benefit while appreciating toward their inevitable residential conversion value.
