Historic Antebellum-Inspired Estate is nestled on a sprawling 7 acres. This incomparable estate offers a rare blend of timeless elegance and Southern charm. Built in 1925, this stately residence draws inspiration from antebellum architecture, featuring classical elements like symmetrical design, brick exterior finishes, and a grand staircase, copper finishes and opulent reception rooms. While not a pre-Civil War structure, its neoclassical influences evoke the grandeur of the Old South, making it a unique gem in Polk County’s historic landscape. With over 6100 total SF space, it includes 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 2 powder rooms. Ideal for both grand entertaining and intimate family life. Original details, such as high ceilings and wood-burning fireplaces, have been preserved, fine woodwork, and more offer a glimpse into early 20th-century craftsmanship. The open air terraces offer unique cocktail party backdrops underneath the stately oaks and moonlit stars. The bathrooms are both modern yet steeped in its original aesthetic - truly a masterpiece in design and appeal. The property’s exspansive grounds offer ample opportunities for equestrian pursuits, gardening, or future expansion. The guest home presents your extended-stay guests their own peaceful seclusion while offering breathing views of the pool and landscape. Situated near Downtown Bartow, a city steeped in history, the home is minutes from landmarks like the Polk County History Center, housed in a 1908 neoclassical courthouse. This area’s heritage trails and preserved architecture enrich the property’s cultural context. Zoned as XX, the land offers flexibility for agricultural or residential use, appealing to those seeking a blend of rural tranquility and historic charm. For those captivated by Southern Charm & elegance and the allure of historic living, 1760 Old Bartow Eagle Lake Road is an authentic Florida history book awaiting the author of its next chapter. Explore this estate and imagine life amidst the oak-shaded tranquility of Polk County.
