Host profile image
Retired USA Chief Warrant Officer
Special Forces
I retired from the Army after 29yrs of active duty service to this great nation. McDill afb is a short drive from Twin Branch Acres (TBA). There are a few service members in the neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

It is one of a kind home in the heart of Tampa yet secluded like you could never imagine.
I was attracted to TBA because of the area and the lot sizes. Every house sites on at least an acre and many have horses and other animals. Something you cannot find anywhere else in Tampa. Location, location, location.

What makes this property unique

Horse Property with riding trail heads, just feet off the property. Oneway in and out neighborhood. Home sits on a cul-de-sac. Quiet, safe and lots of area to roam. Close to everything.
