Loxahatchee

Equestrian and agricultural land west of Wellington.

Loxahatchee is the working name for the acreage country west of Royal Palm Beach and Wellington, taking in The Acreage and the town of Loxahatchee Groves. Lots run an acre and up, zoning leans agricultural-residential, and people come here for horses, equipment, quiet, and room. It is also where land questions come up most: what a parcel is zoned for, what it could become, and what that is worth.

The local guide

What you should know before you come

Nature, food, schools, and what there is to do, the things people ask about before they move, buy, or even just visit Loxahatchee.

Things to do

  • Lion Country Safari

    The country's original drive-through safari (1967), with more than 900 animals.

    The northern Everglades: trails, paddling, and big-sky wildlife.

  • J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area

    Sixty thousand acres of public wild land on the area's northern edge.

The acreage lifestyle

Out here the product is land: paved and unpaved roads, horses, and room.

  • Equestrian acreage

    Barns and paddocks without Wellington pricing, a short trailer ride from the show grounds.

  • No-HOA living

    Much of The Acreage and Loxahatchee Groves has no HOA at all: bring the boat, the trailer, the workshop.

  • Room to build

    Guest houses, barns, and workshops are normal here, not variances.
