 60+/-
acres located at the intersection of Highland Park Road and Audubon
Avenue, in the Community of Glenwood, on the western outskirts of
DeLand. The property consists of six (6), 10-acre contiguous lots,
which were recently spun off of a 217-acre site that was purchased for
development of large lot, single-family residences. The surrounding
area is primarily a mixture of scattered large lot, single-family
residences, undeveloped properties, and conservation land.
The largest vegetative component of the Audubon
property, scrubby flatwoods, is an ecotonal community comprised of
several scrub and other flatwood species, which tolerate the wetter
and drier extremes of their respective habitats. The dominant tree
within the scrubby flatwoods is slash pine. Generally longleaf and
sand pine are naturally mixed within this habitat. The abundance of
this slash pine in this habitat is probably a result of past forestry
practices. To the south the scrubby flatwoods grades into wet
flatwoods. The southwestern corner of the property is opposite an area
of public lands - St. Johns River Water Management District and the
Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge. |
