The southern-style hunting plantation was built by Florida businessman Whit Hudson, who died in 2018. He started with 2,200 acres purchased from a rancher in 1998 and expanded from there, creating an escape from busy Fort Lauderdale. The seller is Hudson’s estate.

"Quail Creek Plantation was a true labor of love for my father," Steve Hudson said. "It started as a place to escape and entertain friends, then evolved into his second home. Now it's time for the next chapter in Quail Creek's history and for an outdoor enthusiast to enjoy this property with friends and family – as we did for more than two decades."
