About Us

Golden Creek Ranch, nestled in San Mateo, Florida, is more than just a working cattle ranch. It’s the realization of a dream for Ezequiel and Karen De Andrade. After raising their family for 22 years in the bustling heart of New York City, a yearning for wide-open spaces and a connection to the land grew stronger. In 2020, they took a leap of faith, trading the city’s symphony of honking horns for the gentle whispers of wind through palm trees.

Their vision wasn’t a pristine estate, but a chance to breathe life back into a neglected ranch. Armed with unwavering determination, they tackled the untamed wilderness, transforming it with grit and hard work. The rhythmic rumble of their trusty TYM tractor became a symbol of their commitment, its tireless revolutions conquering the vastness of the land.

Today, Golden Creek Ranch stands as a testament to their resilience. It’s a tapestry woven with sun-kissed soil, the echo of city spirit, and the quiet hum of a dream realized.

Currently, Golden Creek Ranch embraces agritourism, offering a bridge between urban life and the fertile earth. Trade concrete steps for dusty trails and reconnect with nature under the boundless Florida sky.

Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of a working ranch, explore vibrant nature trails on foot or by UTV, or unwind in our peaceful haven.
