A Private Florida Wilderness Retreat Unlike Anything Else. Hidden deep within the gated wildlife sanctuary of Blue Jordan Forest and with 2464 total sqft under roof, this extraordinary 2.86 acre corner property offers one of the rarest and most immersive natural living experiences available anywhere in Florida. Surrounded by protected land and Old Florida beauty, this is more than a home—it’s a true sanctuary where nature, privacy, and craftsmanship exist in perfect harmony. Set within a designated wildlife preserve, bald eagles soar overhead, white-tailed deer wander freely, and the sounds of sandhill cranes and native birds replace the noise of the outside world. The fully fenced and gated homesite is thoughtfully preserved with native scrub brush oaks and Georgia pines, creating a setting that feels untouched while still offering the comforts of a meticulously improved property. A private entry welcomes you, while irrigation around the home enhances the immediate landscape without disturbing the natural surroundings. Built in 2021, the custom residence features concrete block construction filled with concrete and foam insulation, Hardie board siding, and a steel roof with spray foam insulation, creating a home built to last. Energy efficiency is exceptional, with electric costs averaging approximately $120 per month. Inside, open-concept living space is enhanced by 10-foot ceilings and tile flooring throughout, including the porches. The layout flows effortlessly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a gas cooktop with a stainless hood, double ovens, and Bosch stainless appliances. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with French doors leading to the screened porch, a spacious walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed en-suite bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. The guest bedroom is generously sized with its own walk-in closet and convenient access to a full bath. Outdoor living is where this property truly comes to life. The screened rear porch and custom outdoor cooking area—complete with a stainless hood vent, water connections, and a Blackstone griddle—create the perfect setting to relax, entertain, and fully immerse yourself in the surrounding natural beauty. Additional features include a 13kW backup generator, Starlink high-speed internet, underground utilities, a custom 8x20 utility building matching the home, and a 20x24 steel carport with 14-foot clearance. Blue Jordan Forest is a conservation-minded community defined by large acreage homesites, winding roads, and preserved landscapes. The lifestyle here is one of freedom—ride ATVs or golf carts, create your own garden, or explore the scenic trails that wind through the forest. Beyond the gates, the charming town of Frostproof offers a relaxed, small-town atmosphere nestled between Lake Clinch and Lake Reedy. Nearby, the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest and Walk-In-The-Water Wildlife Management Area provide thousands of acres of protected land for hiking, camping, fishing, and exploring—making this a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Properties like this are exceptionally rare, offering not just a home, but a lifestyle defined by privacy, natural beauty, and a connection to the land that is increasingly hard to find.
