One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Over 20 acres in unincorporated Polk County, Central Florida, offering a fully improved, turn-key agricultural & light commercial platform suitable for a wide range of AG-based, processing, storage, distribution, and rural commercial operations. Zoned Ag/Res, allowing for agricultural uses & select commercial activities as permitted by Polk County zoning regulations (buyer to verify zoning, permits, & intended use).
Designed for immediate operational use, the property supports ranching, livestock, agri-business, processing, storage, contractor operations, specialty farming, & owner-operated commercial enterprises that benefit from space, privacy, & infrastructure. Zoning also allows one residence per five acres, providing flexibility for on-site management, employee or caretaker housing, or a multi-residence compound in support of business operations (buyer to verify density, permits, and feasibility).
Accessed by a long, private drive, the site offers exceptional security, discretion, & isolation, surrounded by expansive agricultural land & orange groves—an increasingly rare asset for businesses requiring controlled access, reduced noise & light interference, or uninterrupted operations. The property is fully fenced, features established Bahia grass pastures, & is livestock-ready, with barns, livestock & poultry facilities equipped with electric & water, kennels, workshops, RV hookups, storage buildings, gardens, & a 1+ acre pond supporting both agricultural & operational needs.
A standout feature is the 24x40 insulated pole barn with metal siding, upgraded electrical, & climate-controlled areas, including a partially built-out processing/kitchen zone with propane-fed oven & walk-in cold storage conversion potential. This structure is well-suited for light manufacturing, food processing (subject to approvals), equipment staging, storage, or conversion to a barndominium-style live/work space (buyer to verify permitting and use). Multiple additional outbuildings with water & electric provide flexible production, storage, and workspace capacity.
The existing residence supports on-site ownership or operational management, offering immediate usability while maintaining separation from core business functions. Infrastructure reliability is enhanced by a 24KW Generac generator with a 500-gallon underground propane tank, capable of powering the entire complex—ensuring business continuity & operational resilience.
Importantly, the property is high & dry, with no history of flooding. It is located outside of designated flood zones, reducing insurance complexity and enhancing long-term usability and development confidence (buyer to verify flood status).
Strategically located with access to Tampa, Orlando, and Bradenton markets and airports, the property also offers efficient regional connectivity with easy access to US Highway 27, US Highway 17, & the Polk Parkway, supporting convenient transportation, logistics, employee commuting, and access to Central Florida markets & distribution corridors.
Private, infrastructure-rich, & operationally ready, this property represents a rare opportunity for agricultural enterprises, rural commercial operations, owner-operator businesses, & long-term income-producing strategies in one of Central Florida's most flexible rural corridors. Buyer to verify all zoning, permitted uses, development potential, and regulatory requirements. ***Owner may consider financing for qualified buyers with agreeable terms.
