This 17.24-acre income-producing grapefruit grove in Central Florida represents a prime investment opportunity in modern citrus farming. The property features 4,776 grapefruit trees planted in 2020, all grown under CUPS (Citrus Under Protective Screen) — an advanced production system designed to accelerate growth, improve yields, and protect against HLB (citrus greening) and other pests. The CUPS system also reduces reliance on water, pesticides, and fertilizers, supporting sustainable agricultural practices. 
The grove is operated under a management contract with Dundee Citrus Growers Association (DCGA), established in 1924, providing a turnkey operation that includes grove maintenance, harvesting, and fruit sales. Fruit from this property is marketed under the proprietary RUBIES label, positioned for premium pricing in the grapefruit market.
This property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a sustainable, high-tech agricultural asset with steady income potential, portfolio diversification, and eligibility for multiple state agricultural programs and tax incentives.
