About this home

Rare chance to purchase an established, turnkey income-producing aquaculture operation situated on 19.58 fenced acres, Zoned A/A Agriculture, 1 Unit per 10 Acres, and in Flood Zone X (No Flood Insurance Required)! This property is ideally suited for owner-operators or investors seeking an established agricultural business with expansion potential and on-site infrastructure already in place. Current agriculture and homestead exemptions add the benefit of low property taxes. The fully established and reputable aquaculture farm occupies the front portion of the property and is currently in full production with contracted employees. The "fish farm" includes 97 outdoor breeding ponds, three greenhouses, a large concrete block building with metal roof, two 4" wells and one 6" well, air compressors, a feed shed, workshop, above-ground propane storage tank and a 50kW diesel-powered backup generator. The 6" well and a large compressor supply air and supplemental water to all the outdoor ponds with a volume ranging from 19,000 gallons to 100,000 gallons with a medium volume of 39,000 gallons. The greenhouses and utility buildings feature a state-of-the-art water purification and flow-through recirculation system to the various sized vats and aquariums supporting production of over 50 varieties of tropical fish. All of the water is degassed and oxygenated before entering the buildings. Aeration to all vats and aquariums is also supplied to the buildings. All drainage systems in place for aquaculture farm exceed Best Management Practices. The remaining acreage provides additional value and flexibility, with cleared open pastures, wooded areas, ponds and creek, allowing for future expansion, alternative agricultural use or diversification of operations. A fenced 4 acre paddock currently home to a Kentucky Mountain Horse offers space for additional occupants as FARM ANIMALS AND HORSES ARE ALLOWED! Also located on the property is a 2002 Palm Harbor 2280 sq. ft. home with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, multiple living and dining areas, a separate office/den, wood-burning fireplace & wrap around porch/deck which provides on-site housing for an owner-operator or manager.
