Sebring International Race Track is the oldest continuously operating road racing circuit in the United States. Built on the site of a former World War II airbase — Hendricks Army Airfield — it has hosted the 12 Hours of Sebring since 1952 and remains a fixture on the IMSA and endurance racing calendars.
And 665 Moon Ranch Road is just five minutes away.
Is It Noisy?
The short answer: barely. The track operates on a limited race calendar — major events happen a handful of times per year, and they're typically daytime events. Outside of race weekends, the facility is quiet. At a distance of 5+ minutes by car (and set back on 2 acres of wooded land), you'd be surprised how little track noise reaches the property.
Most residents in the area describe the occasional distant rumble as more of a curiosity than a nuisance. And for racing fans, it's a perk — not a problem.
The Lifestyle Perks
Living near the track means access to:
- Race weekends — Walk or drive to IMSA, HSR, and club racing events
- Track days — Several organizations offer civilian track day experiences
- The Sebring Airport Museum — History of the airbase and racing heritage
- Car culture — A community of automotive enthusiasts who live in the area year-round
Even if you're not a racing fan, the track brings an interesting mix of visitors and events to the area, contributing to the local economy without overwhelming the small-town feel.
Beyond the Track
Sebring itself has plenty to offer beyond racing. The town's walkable downtown features murals, local restaurants, and community events. Highlands Hammock State Park — one of Florida's oldest — is a short drive away. And with over 100 freshwater lakes in Highlands County, outdoor recreation is a daily possibility.
The combination of space, privacy, small-town charm, and proximity to one of America's great racing venues makes this a genuinely unique place to live. Not many people can say they're five minutes from a historic race track AND sitting on 2 acres of quiet Florida countryside.
The Property
665 Moon Ranch Road is a 3-bed, 2.5-bath ranch home on 2 acres, priced at $499,000. It needs updating — which means you can customize it while living in one of the most interesting spots in Central Florida. Worth a look? We think so.
