Historic 1906, 15 acre Ranch with pool 20 minutes from SeaWorld Welcome to our recently remodeled ranch home, a unique historical gem with a story that stretches back to the late 1800s.

The original Wurzbach family Ranch house has been meticulously preserved and renovated, providing you with a unique opportunity to step back in time while enjoying modern comforts.**Living Area:** Stepping inside, you'll be captivated by the grandeur of the living area, complete with a magnificent fireplace and a spacious dining table accommodating up to 10 people.
