The home is further enhanced by Pella hurricane-impact windows and sliding doors, new double front doors with a custom storm protection system, and a durable metal roof, providing both quality and peace of mind.
Surrounded by open land and Florida countryside, the residence offers a peaceful retreat after a day on the ranch while remaining conveniently positioned for access to Fort Meade, Bartow, and Lake Wales.
Whether envisioned as a working cattle ranch, equestrian property, recreational retreat, or private family compound, Polk Ridge Ranch offers the acreage, improvements, and location to create something truly special. 125 acres of Florida ranchland—established, functional, and ready for its next chapter.
