About this home

Price reduced! This prime Lake Wales lakefront estate on the shores of 3,855-acre Lake Pierce is a slice of old Florida that doesn’t come around often. The property features a 2009 custom-built 5-bed / 4-bath / 3-car garage / 3,139 SF pool home on an expansive 4.3 acres with over 275' of freshly groomed lakefront and a 75’ dock with two covered boat lifts. Every bit as grand as it looks, the home’s solid brick-faced concrete block exterior walls provide as much substance and security as beauty. Stepping through the double front doors into the foyer, you’re immediately captivated by the living room’s panoramic views of the lake through a bank of windows and French doors that open to the lanai. The striking entrance and ten-foot ceilings throughout give the split-ranch floor plan a breathtaking open feel. The living and dining rooms seamlessly transition into the family room and kitchen with ample granite countertops, hardwood cabinetry, walk-in pantry, prep island, new LED lighting, exterior ventilation, and stainless appliances, including a NEW REFRIGERATOR, DISHWASHER, and MICROWAVE. A custom-built dining nook adjoins the family room with wood-burning fireplace where banks of double-pane windows and French doors reveal sweeping views of the lakefront. The doors open to a screened pool and covered lanai, a perfect backdrop for entertaining, or your morning coffee. Past the kitchen are two spacious bedrooms connected by a full Jack-and-Jill bath, a hallway leading to the laundry room, upstairs bonus suite, and 3-car garage. The upstairs suite is a multi-purpose space that can serve as a bedroom, office, game room, gym, etc. It has an en-suite full bath, dedicated A/C, walk-in closet, and door to a small balcony. The other side of this split-plan features the primary suite, including a large bedroom, dual walk-in closets, and bathroom with dual sinks, granite countertops, hardwood cabinetry, garden hydro-tub, separate shower with steam feature, and water closet with toilet and bidet. French doors lead out to the lanai, offering the same lake view. Outside the primary entrance is an additional bedroom and full hall bath accessible from the lanai. This exceptional house can only be rivaled by its spectacular outdoor surroundings, easily accessed from the living and family rooms, primary suite, and hall bath. Much care was taken to preserve the natural Florida landscape and wildlife habitats and still provide open views and clear lake access. Stroll the lake bank, teeming with wildlife, and enjoy the newly exposed natural cypress-tree garden cove. Walk out on the dock for unobstructed lake views, fishing, or launching a watercraft from one of the two covered boat lifts, that have NEW LIFT MOTORS, DRIVE BELTS AND CABLES - each rated up to 4,500 lbs. General PROPERTY UPDATES IN 2025 include: FULL ROOF REPLACEMENT, completely REPAINTED INTERIOR, all NEW LED LIGHTING FIXTURES inside and outside, NEW BEDS, MULCH AND LANDSCAPING, REPAINTED POOL AND PATIO DECK, NEW WELL PUMP and IRRIGATION SYSTEM, 2 NEW HOT WATER HEATERS, and NEW CARPET in all bedrooms. Utilities are underground, and the property is equipped with a whole-house Generac generator. This paradise is secluded yet in near proximity to 3 of the largest cities along the central Florida corridor (66 mi E of Tampa, 52 mi SW of Orlando, and 29 mi E of Lakeland), only 6 miles from AdventHealth hospital, and 10 mins to Publix, Home Depot, Walgreens, among many others.
