Craftsman

Tucked just off County Line Road in Lakeland, Florida, this 140± acre ranch embodies the essence of a true working homestead—rich in history, thoughtfully improved, and ready for continued agricultural use. Comprised of three contiguous parcels and just minutes from I-4 (Exit 25), this property offers both a practical location and the timeless beauty of old Florida land. This ranch has served generations—raising cattle, cultivating memories, and standing as a testament to the grit and grace of rural life. Towering oaks provide shade over improved pastures and cross-fenced for rotational grazing. Native palms, meandering creeks, and strong grasses create an ideal landscape for grazing and sustainability. At the heart of the property sits a custom-built Ernie White pool home with nearly 4,000 sq ft of living space. With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and an office, this home is a blend of style and function. High-end features include level 4 quartz countertops, soft-close black wood cabinetry, top-of-the-line stainless appliances, and a massive island designed for family and farm gatherings. The wide-plank tile flooring, 10-foot wood-beamed ceilings, and impact-rated windows speak to the quality and durability built into every detail. The exterior features Hardie Board and stone siding, upgraded insulation, gas utilities, and a whole-home generator for peace of mind. Outdoors, a saltwater pool and summer kitchen area make for the perfect end to a hard day’s work. Supporting the operational needs of the land, a 60x40 metal barn with a 20x60 lean-to is plumbed for a full bathroom and includes power, water, a 12x12 well room, 6” slab, three oversized bay doors, and a 50-amp RV hookup. Additionally, a 30x40 pole barn offers further equipment or feed storage, ready for your tractors, trailers, or hay. While the land is perfect for active ranching today, its potential tomorrow is equally exciting. The property holds a future land use designation for residential, and the front 20 acres, located just yards from the high-growth commercial and industrial corridors of Swindell and County Line Rd, could offer substantial long-term value for the right investor. Whether you’re looking to expand an existing ag operation, create a family legacy homestead, or secure a land asset with serious future upside, this Lakeland ranch offers it all—function, beauty, and promise.
