About this home

A True Escape Into Old Florida. Tucked deep within the gated wildlife sanctuary of Blue Jordan Forest, this remarkable 2.86-acre corner property offers a lifestyle that feels worlds away from the noise, pressure, and pace of everyday life. Surrounded by protected land and untouched natural beauty, this is more than a home. It is a private retreat where peace, privacy, and nature take center stage. Set within a designated wildlife preserve, the setting is unforgettable. Bald eagles soar overhead, deer wander freely, and the sounds of cranes and native birds replace traffic and city noise. The fully fenced and gated homesite is carefully preserved with native scrub brush oaks and Georgia pines, creating a secluded atmosphere that feels both wild and welcoming. A private entrance and irrigation around the home add comfort and function while preserving the natural character of the land. Built in 2021, the custom residence was designed for durability, efficiency, and easy living. Construction includes concrete block filled with concrete and foam insulation, Hardie board siding, and a steel roof with spray foam insulation. The result is a home that is both strong and energy efficient, with electric costs averaging approximately $120 per month. Inside, the home offers an inviting open-concept design with 10-foot ceilings and tile flooring throughout, including the porches. The living spaces are comfortable, open, and easy to enjoy, whether you are hosting guests or simply savoring the quiet. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a gas cooktop with stainless hood, double ovens, and Bosch stainless appliances. The primary suite is a peaceful hideaway with French doors to the screened porch, a spacious walk-in closet, and a well-finished bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. The guest bedroom is generously sized, also featuring a walk-in closet and easy access to a full bath. Outdoor living is where this property truly sets itself apart. The screened rear porch and custom outdoor cooking area with stainless hood vent, water connections, and Blackstone griddle create the perfect place to unwind, entertain, and fully take in the stillness of the surrounding preserve. Additional features include a 13kW backup generator, Starlink high-speed internet, underground utilities, a custom 8x20 utility building that matches the home, and a 20x24 steel carport with 14-foot clearance. Blue Jordan Forest is a rare, conservation-minded community of large acreage homesites, winding roads, and preserved landscapes. Life here is intentionally different. Ride ATVs or golf carts, plant a garden, explore the trails, and enjoy the kind of freedom and space that is becoming harder to find. Just beyond the gates, Frostproof offers a laid-back small-town setting between Lake Clinch and Lake Reedy. Nearby, the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest and Walk-In-The-Water Wildlife Management Area offer thousands of acres for hiking, camping, fishing, and exploring. For the buyer craving privacy, quiet, and a place to truly disconnect, this property offers something rare in Florida: a genuine refuge from the world.
