About this home
Positioned along the rapidly growing north corridor of Lakeland, this expansive 14-acre parcel offers a rare opportunity to secure a substantial piece of land with direct frontage on US Highway 98 North. With exceptional visibility and steady traffic flow, the property presents an ideal setting for those looking to capitalize on the area’s continued growth and development. Currently zoned residential, the property provides flexibility for a variety of potential uses, while also offering the possibility of rezoning to commercial—making it especially attractive for investors, developers, or business owners seeking a strategic location with high exposure. The surrounding area continues to see increased demand, with new residential communities and commercial projects shaping the future of North Lakeland. Infrastructure considerations have already been thoughtfully addressed, with powerlines on site and electric readily available at the property. The parcel will require the installation of a septic system, allowing you to tailor utility improvements to your specific plans. The presence of wetlands on portions of the land creates a natural landscape buffer and added privacy, while also presenting an opportunity—through the Polk County mitigation program—to potentially expand usable acreage in a cost-effective manner. Whether you envision a private estate with acreage to spare, a residential development, or a future commercial venture, this property offers the scale, location, and versatility to bring your vision to life. Opportunities like this—combining size, highway frontage, and future potential—are becoming increasingly difficult to find in such a prime Lakeland location.
