About this home
ADAMS BARN ROAD
Rarely does an opportunity like this come to market. Tucked along the pristine shoreline of Lake Van in the heart of Auburndale, this extraordinary 12.59-acre lakefront parcel on Adams Barn Road with barn and tennis court is your blank canvas to build the private estate you've always envisioned, completely on your own terms. Lake Van spans 595 acres and reaches depths of up to 30 feet, offering spectacular open-water views and year-round recreation. The lake welcomes motorized boats, jet skis, and houseboats with no permit required and no boating restrictions, making it a true lakefront lifestyle destination. With this much acreage directly on the water, you'll have the room and the privacy to design a home that takes full advantage of every breathtaking sunset over the lake. The property already features a large barn for lawn equipment and a tennis court, giving you a head start as you bring your dream home to life. Towering trees, lush natural surroundings, and direct lake frontage create an atmosphere of seclusion that is increasingly rare in Central Florida, a true private retreat where the outside world simply fades away. Auburndale sits in Polk County, the true center of Florida, equidistant from the Gulf and Atlantic, and between Tampa and Orlando. You're just 44 miles from Orlando and only 30 to 40 minutes from Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld, yet here on Adams Barn Road, you'll feel a world away. The city is ringed by more than a dozen lakes, and its relaxed, small-town character makes it one of Central Florida's most beloved hidden gems. This is one of several available parcels in this exceptional lakefront enclave. An additional 2.31-acre adjacent parcel is available separately at $289,000, ideal for expanding your estate, ensuring maximum privacy, or securing the land for family. Opportunities to own this much pristine lakefront acreage on Lake Van simply do not come along often. Whether you're dreaming of a grand estate, a weekend escape, or a generational legacy property, this is where that dream begins.
