Highway 60, Lake Wales, FL 33898

This is an assignment of contract... Discover the potential of this .44-acre (19,245-square-foot) L-shaped lot located off Highway 60 E in Lake Wales, Florida. Zoned Residential (0110), this designation allows for residential development such as single-family homes once proper access and approvals are secured, offering a long-term investment opportunity for those with vision and the ability to establish the necessary infrastructure. Currently, the property is landlocked, meaning it does not have direct road access and will require an easement—a legal right of way—to be created through a neighboring parcel to establish entry. This process typically involves working with adjacent property owners and county planning departments to gain access for future development or use. The land’s classification—Property Use 9900 (Unplatted up to 10 acres) and State Use 99 (Acreage not AG classified)—indicates it is part of an undeveloped section without an agricultural designation, making it ideal for residential or potential future urban expansion. Being located in an X Flood Zone, flood insurance is not required, providing peace of mind for future construction and lower long-term costs. Lake Wales offers a serene Central Florida setting known for its natural beauty, lakes, and historic charm. Residents enjoy nearby attractions such as Bok Tower Gardens, the Lake Wales Historic District, and numerous parks and lakes for boating, fishing, and kayaking. Just a short drive from the property, you’ll find shopping and dining in downtown Lake Wales, as well as access to major retailers and conveniences along U.S. Highway 27. The property is also centrally positioned between larger cities like Winter Haven, Bartow, and Avon Park, offering easy access to employment centers, medical facilities, and entertainment. Highway 60 serves as a major east-west artery across Central Florida, connecting to Interstate 4, providing direct routes to Tampa, Lakeland, and Orlando, making this a strategic location for future development. Whether you’re a long-term investor seeking appreciation or a buyer looking to create a private getaway with some groundwork, this parcel offers untapped potential in a growing region of Polk County.
