Acreage Single Family Homes For Sale in Lakeland - 11 homes

Remarks: One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. 5016 Alderman Rd, is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom single family home with 2,520 square feet on 0.85 acres, offering a rare combination of interior space, usable land, and flexible outbuilding potential in Lakeland. Built in 1992, this concrete home features a metal roof installed in 2016, central air and heat updated in 2020, septic, city water, no HOA, and a no flood zone location. The property also includes a large covered front porch and outbuildings with stall space, adding useful room for storage, hobbies, equipment, animals, or general outdoor use. The land is a major part of the appeal. With nearly an acre, this property gives buyers the kind of breathing room that is getting harder to find. The 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom layout works well for everyday living, while the extra square footage creates flexibility for a larger living area, home office, bonus room, or other practical use. The covered porch adds more usable space and helps the home feel open and functional instead of tight or boxed in. The key improvements already in place help this home stand out. The metal roof from 2016 and the A/C from 2020 take care of two of the biggest items many buyers look at first. Electrical is in good condition, and the property already has the land, layout, and infrastructure that attract buyers searching for a Lakeland home with acreage. The main update path is cosmetic, with flooring and paint offering the clearest opportunity to refresh the interior style. For buyers searching for a Lakeland home with land, a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home on acreage, a Polk County property with outbuildings, a home with no HOA, or a Florida property with space for animals, tools, equipment, or outdoor living, 5016 Alderman Rd checks multiple important boxes. This is a strong opportunity for a buyer who wants privacy, flexibility, and room to improve without giving up convenience to town.
