Welcome to your own private slice of Lake Wales—almost 5 acres of peaceful, open land where country living meets everyday comfort. Located on a dead-end-street with a preserve at the end of the road. As you pull in, you’ll notice the space: room for animals, equipment, toys, and anything else your lifestyle calls for. A 24x42 workshop with pull-through roll-up doors, water, electric, and a half bath is ready for projects big or small. There’s also a 14x14 shed with the well pump, a horse stable, garden space, and beautiful mature trees that give the property a timeless, lived-in feel. The home’s main yard is wrapped in classic white wood fencing with irrigation, while the rest of the land is secured with barbed wire fencing. Walk toward the front entrance and you’re greeted by the soft scent of rose bushes and the cool shade of the trees—an instant reminder that you’ve arrived somewhere peaceful. Inside, the home features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths across 1,386 sq ft, thoughtfully updated and lovingly maintained. Enjoy peace of mind with a new metal roof (2024), new hot water heater (2026), and fully remodeled bathrooms (2025). A large Florida room with its own split A/C, a 2-car garage, and a cozy screen room overlooking the backyard make this home perfect for relaxing mornings and quiet evenings. If you’ve been dreaming of space, privacy, and a true country lifestyle, this property delivers it all.
