Burt Reynolds Horse Ranch 1968 Phone Case

In 1968, Burt Reynolds bought a 153-acre ranch in Jupiter, Florida with the intention of it being his lifelong estate. He converted the overgrown farmland to his own private hideaway, complete with multiple houses, barns, landscaped lakes, film sets, and even a mausoleum where he intended to be interred. Being an animal lover, Reynolds also had show horses, herds of African antelope, fallow deer, a few waterbuck and even a couple of bison living on the grounds. The ranch even had a working feed and tack store up front, that not only helped keep Reynolds' animals fed, but also served other farms in the area. Eventually, much of the property was open to the public, where they could explore the ranch, and interact with the animals.
