4925 Hamilton Rd, Lakeland, FL 33811

Just 35 minutes from Tampa, down a quiet drive and behind a private gate, awaits a rare and remarkable retreat: 10.1 secluded acres with no HOA, a fully stocked pond, creek, and wildlife - all wrapped around a lovingly maintained, one-of-a-kind custom home. And yes, it even comes with its own ATV and trailer included with the sale. Built in 1982 and owned by two families, this peaceful property welcomes you with the warmth of a well-loved home and the magic of true Florida nature. Grab your fishing pole and head out to the pond, where tilapia and bass await. Wade through the gentle creek that winds behind the home, or blaze your own trails beyond it - on foot or ATV. With man-made berms along the rear boundary, wide-open fields, and towering trees, the land itself invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and start living. The home rises across three levels, beginning with a ground floor that includes garage space, a carport, and ample storage. The main living area sits on the second floor, where the kitchen, dining, living, and family room flow together with large windows and doors opening to panoramic views. A bedroom with its own bathroom and an additional guest bath make this level ideal for everyday living or multigenerational needs. In 2009, a spacious suite and bath were added to this level (not yet reflected in public records), enhancing comfort and privacy. Upstairs, you'll find three more bedrooms - including the serene primary retreat with its own private balcony and treetop views, along with one shared bathroom. Throughout the second and third floors, vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and new vinyl plank flooring give the home a fresh yet rustic charm. Step outside to the screened-in sitting room or one of two open-air balconies to watch wild life by - and, on rare days, perhaps even a Florida panther. The elevator lift, located next to the carport, provides added ease between two levels. Recent updates totaling over $50,000 include new electrical mains ran, EV charger, outlets and switches, interior paint, ceiling fans, light fixtures, custom blinds, hardware, and both garage and exterior doors + a whole-house water softener and filtration system with reverse osmosis in the kitchen ensures clean, safe water at every tap. Outside, the property continues to shine with a metal roof, three sheds, and a 50-amp RV hookup. The crown jewel? A huge, custom-built pole barn with full electric - perfect for events, weddings, gatherings, RV storage, or your next big project. And for electric vehicle owners, an EV charger is already installed (Tesla charger negotiable, wiring remains). From hosting friends under the stars to wandering the woods in total quiet, this home is more than a place - it’s a feeling. Private. Peaceful. Free. Yet somehow still just a short drive from city life, shopping, dining, and beaches. Acreage like this, with updates, charm, and soul - so perfectly nestled between Tampa and Orlando - is truly a rare find. Come get your slice of paradise and make it yours - however you want!
