Looking for a lakefront home with acreage in Central Florida where you can escape the noise of city life? Welcome to a peaceful retreat at 1256 Center St in Lake Wales, set on approximately 8.51 beautiful acres of lakefront land where privacy, nature, and wide-open space create a setting that feels worlds away from the hustle of town. Imagine mornings with coffee overlooking the sun rising across the water, afternoons watching wildlife move across the property, and evenings where the sky turns orange and pink reflecting across the lake. A portion of your lot sits across the street and is zoned for horses and other livestock for your enjoyment. The current owners love watching the rocket launches that happen directly across Lake Annie. Looking to grow a vegetable or herb garden? Your friendly neighbor Bonnie Plants can help you out since their nursery delivers to retailers like Lowe’s and Home Depot. Properties like this offer the kind of lifestyle many buyers dream about but rarely find. Homes with acreage and lake frontage in Lake Wales and Polk County are increasingly hard to come by, especially those that provide both space and water in one setting. Inside, the home offers warm and inviting living spaces filled with natural light, with large windows that bring the outdoors in and provide constant views of the surrounding land and water. The layout makes it easy to host family gatherings, relax with friends, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of the landscape. Step outside and the lifestyle truly opens up. With 8.51 acres to explore, there is room to garden, entertain, watch wildlife, or simply enjoy the peace and privacy that comes with owning land. The lakefront setting adds another dimension to everyday living, creating opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and unforgettable sunset evenings by the water. You will also appreciate the Seller-provided Home Warranty that covers all of your home’s major appliances and several key updates including a newer roof installed in 2020, newer flooring, updated HVAC components, copper plumbing lines, and copper electrical wiring. If you have been searching for a Florida lakefront home with acreage where life slows down and nature takes center stage, this is a property you will want to experience in person. Schedule your private showing and come see why this peaceful Lake Wales retreat may be exactly what you have been waiting for.
