Property Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Looking for a 5-Acre Country Retreat? Don't Miss This One! Bring the horses, bring the toys, and enjoy the peaceful country lifestyle offered by this beautiful 5-acre property! As you enter through the gated entrance, you'll be welcomed by a scenic drive down to the home surrounded by nature and a picturesque pond. A good sized concrete parking area leads to the home, where a spacious covered front porch with a ceiling fan overlooks magnificent oak trees, creating the perfect place to relax and unwind. Inside, the home features a welcoming split-bedroom floor plan. The spacious living room offers a cozy wood-burning fireplace, while the dining area flows seamlessly into the open farmhouse-style kitchen. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a large center island, abundant cabinetry and storage, stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and a utility storage closet. An open den/office space sits between the living room and bedrooms, providing a flexible area for working from home or a hobby space. The oversized laundry room includes plenty of cabinets, a utility sink, and extra storage. Also leads to the mud room. The primary suite offers two walk-in closets and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, vanity, and an additional large closet. The other two bedrooms share the second bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Step out the kitchen to the covered and screened back porch with tile flooring and a ceiling fan—the perfect place to enjoy beautiful Florida evenings. Additional features include: Whole-house water filtration system with salt system and a water softener. Oversized two-car garage. Covered carport ideal for storing ATVs, boats, trailers, or equipment.

One pasture includes a horse shelter, while several pastures are shaded by mature oak and pine trees. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundance of wildlife, with deer frequently visiting the property. The land also features a variety of fruit trees, including orange, lemon, pear, peach, pecan, mulberry & guava A beautiful oak tree at the front of the property has a paved sitting area beneath its canopy, creating a peaceful shaded retreat. There's also a large shed with chicken coops on three sides (ready for a little TLC) and a dedicated garden area for growing your own vegetables, herbs, or flowers. Outdoor recreation is just minutes away with Lake Wales Ridge State Forest nearby, offering miles of horseback riding trails during the non-hunting season. Despite the private country setting, you're only about 15 minutes from downtown Lake Wales, with convenient access to Walmart, Lowe's, feed stores, restaurants, shopping, and everyday amenities.
