Once the big cats all have a new home, the Baskins said the 67-acre Citrus Park property will go up for sale."It’s going to be a very valuable property," said land broker Bill Eshenbaugh, the president and founder of Eshenbaugh Land Company in Hillsborough County. "I reached out to them early in my career, I guess now 30 years ago, 25 years ago. It was pretty clear then they had no interest in selling to a developer. We looked at a number of sites around there.
Once the property goes up for sale, Big Cat Rescue said it will use the money to fund other projects to save the species.
