Description

This 1.56-acre lot in Polk City, Florida, located in the Green Swamp Special Protection Area (COREX), offers the perfect mix of privacy, nature, and opportunity. Zoned COREX, this property qualifies as a vested lot of record, allowing for one single-family home. Whether you’re seeking a permanent residence or a weekend retreat, this lot gives you the space and freedom to create your ideal Florida home.

The lot features flat, wooded terrain, providing both privacy and a natural setting for your home. Power lines run along the front of the property, and access is via a paved public road. Water will need a well, and sewer will require a septic system, which is standard for rural Florida properties. Setbacks are 65 ft front, 15 ft on the sides, and 20 ft rear. While the back portion includes wetlands and a swampy area, the front and middle of the property offer plenty of usable space. There is no HOA, giving you complete freedom to enjoy your property.

Based on the attached map, approximately 0.12 acres of wetlands sit at the back of the property, forming a natural buffer. A narrow stream appears to run diagonally across the back-left corner, connecting to the larger wetland area outside the parcel. These features are located well behind the buildable area, leaving roughly 1.44 acres of dry land ideal for a homesite, driveway, yard space, or even a small garden area. The wetlands stay tucked away at the rear, adding privacy and scenic value without interfering with the build zone at the front.

Disneyland Hollywood Studios

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando. It is owned and operated by the Walt Disney Company through its Experiences division. Based on a concept by Marty Sklar, Randy Bright, and Michael Eisner, the park opened on May 1, 1989, as the Disney–MGM Studios Theme Park, and was the third of four theme parks built at Walt Disney World. Spanning 135 acres (55 ha), the park is themed to an idealized version of Hollywood, California, and is dedicated to the imagined worlds from film, television, music, and theatre, drawing inspiration from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Amsterdam

Spook Hill is a gravity hill, an optical illusion in Lake Wales, Florida, where cars appear to roll up the spooky hill.

Spook Hill is located on the Lake Wales Ridge, a geologically significant range of sand and limestone hills, which were islands from two to three million years ago, when sea levels were much higher than at present.

The attraction is adjacent to Spook Hill Elementary School, which adopted Casper the Friendly Ghost as their school mascot. The attraction is also close to the Bok Tower.
