About this home
Priced under appraised value. Situated on nearly six contiguous acres within the Lakeland city limits, this expansive estate offers a rare combination of significant acreage and uncompromising security. The entire property is fully gated, providing an elite level of privacy and peace of mind that is increasingly difficult to find in the heart of central Lakeland’s bustling community. Originally built in 1990 by a premier local custom builder to the exacting standards of the original owners, the residence has been meticulously maintained to meet the highest expectations. With nearly 7,000 square feet of living area, the home is designed for effortless functionality, with the vast majority of the living space conveniently located on a single level. The interior is a study in craftsmanship, featuring five generous bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, and a dedicated executive office. An expansive upstairs bonus room, complete with an ensuite bathroom, offers the flexibility to serve as a high-end media suite or a sixth bedroom with the simple addition of a closet. Throughout the residence, one finds an extensive array of bespoke built-in features and voluminous storage solutions that reflect a level of quality and permanence seldom seen in modern construction. The outdoor living space is a true sanctuary, centered around a resort-caliber pool area featuring a covered bar and a full exterior bathroom. These amenities overlook professionally landscaped grounds that have been intentionally designed for maximum seclusion. A defining hallmark of this six-acre retreat is its privately owned lake, which includes a beautiful architectural fountain that creates a serene and picturesque backdrop for the entire estate. For the automotive enthusiast or those with substantial recreational equipment, the oversized three-bay garage is deep enough to accommodate a boat, larger vehicles, or up to six smaller cars parked in tandem, supplemented by a dedicated parking pad for guests. Finding a fully enclosed, six-acre tract with a private lake in central Lakeland is an extraordinary anomaly. This property offers the quietude and scale of a rural manor while remaining mere minutes from the city’s highly desired dining, medical facilities, and major transportation corridors. In one of Florida’s fastest-growing communities, this estate represents a unique opportunity to acquire a legacy land holding that perfectly balances absolute privacy with the accessibility of a prime central location.
