After the Bubble Burst
This is the grand entrance to what was supposed to be an upscale community in the Tampa suburbs. Cordoba Ranch, with equestrian trails, horse stables, and homes in the $500k to $2M range.
After the real estate market collapsed, the developer went broke and the bank foreclosed on the entire 1049 acre plot before even the first home was built.
Today it still sits as a reminder of what happened. A chained up grand entrance to 1000+ acres of swamp & wild brush, that's gone completely to seed.
