With an undisturbed view for miles, High Point Ranchettes sits at one of the highest elevations in central Florida. The property is 38+/- acres in total, but was recently platted and approved for 5 individual homesites. The seller is willing to sell 7.5 acre lots for $187,500 or 15 acres (2 lots) for $315,000. The area is agricultural in nature and truly serves as a get-a-way to the countryside while being located just a short driving distance outside of Lakeland, Lake Wales, and Bartow. With 100% uplands, the property can easily be converted to a farming operation and comes with a 10-inch well along with a John Deere diesel engine. With equidistant travel times to major international airports, and access to great restaurants, grocery stores, and retail - the Polk County region has become one of the most desirable land markets to invest in throughout central Florida.
