About 2204 R E Byrd Road
Escape the typical subdivision and discover a different kind of Florida lifestyle on 2.86 fully fenced acres in gated Blue Jordan Forest. Built in 2021, this custom 2-bedroom, 2-bath home was thoughtfully designed for buyers who value quality, privacy and outdoor living over crowds and congestion. Situated in a wildlife sanctuary among native Florida landscape, scrub oaks and pines, the property offers a peaceful setting where deer, bald eagles, cranes and other native wildlife are part of everyday life. Exceptional construction includes concrete block filled with concrete and foam insulation, Hardie board siding, a steel roof and spray-foam insulation, creating a home built for durability and efficiency, with average electric costs of approximately $120 per month. Inside, 10' ceilings and an open-concept design create a bright, spacious feel with tile flooring throughout the home and porches. The kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, Bosch stainless appliances, double ovens and a gas cooktop with stainless hood. The primary suite opens through French doors to the screened porch and offers a large walk-in closet, dual vanities and walk-in shower. The spacious guest bedroom also includes a walk-in closet and convenient access to the guest bath. One of the home's most impressive features is its expansive screened outdoor living area, dramatically extending the usable living and entertaining space. A wood-plank ceiling, multiple gathering and dining areas, and custom outdoor cooking area with stainless hood vent, water connections and Blackstone griddle create an ideal setting for year-round Florida living. The fully fenced corner homesite offers plenty of room to garden, explore and enjoy the outdoors. A 20'x24' steel carport with 14' clearance accommodates an RV, boat or oversized vehicles, while a matching 8'x20' utility building provides additional storage. Other features include a 13kW backup generator, Starlink high-speed internet and underground utilities. Blue Jordan Forest is a conservation-minded community of large acreage homesites, winding roads and preserved natural surroundings where residents can ride ATVs or golf carts, explore the trails and enjoy a quieter way of life. Yet this peaceful setting doesn't mean giving up convenience. Downtown Frostproof, groceries, restaurants, medical care and everyday necessities are just a short drive away. Enjoy endless fishing and boating on the area's freshwater lakes, including nearby Lake Reedy and 1,219-acre Lake Clinch, with public boat ramps and recreational access. Golf nearby, explore the Lake Wales Ridge, or discover the locally owned restaurants and hidden gems that give this part of Polk County its authentic small-town character. Lake Wales offers additional shopping, dining and healthcare, including Publix and AdventHealth Lake Wales. Here, you can enjoy acreage, wildlife and remarkable privacy without giving up the conveniences of everyday life.
