An exceptional 16-acre development opportunity in the high-growth Babson Park/Lake Wales area! Positioned in a rapidly expanding region, this property is currently zoned Agricultural/Rural Residential (ARRX) with a future land use designation of Residential Medium (RM) or Residential High (RH), making it ideal for residential development such as single-family homes, townhomes, or multi-family units. Strategically located near major roads, schools, and shopping, this site benefits from strong residential demand and increasing property values. A 4-acre adjacent lot at the corner of Freedlander & Lewis Griffin is also available, offering additional institutional zoning flexibility. The property has utilities available, with a Lake Wales Water Capacity Exchange agreement in place to access the main water line. The topography is mostly level, and the land is located in Flood Zone X, minimizing flood risk. Polk County continues to experience rapid growth, with 82+ new residents per day, fueling high housing demand and increasing property values. The median home price has risen 9.8% year-over-year, reflecting the area's strong real estate market. The site is conveniently located near US-27 and I-4, with easy access to shopping centers, schools, and medical facilities. This is a prime location for builders, developers, and investors seeking to capitalize on Central Florida’s booming housing market.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
