4900 J JACKSON ROAD, Fort Meade, FL, 33841

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. 20+ acres located in unincorporated Polk County, Central Florida. This turn-key property offers a rare, fully built-out platform suitable for agricultural, ranching, processing, storage, or small-scale commercial operations. Zoned Agricultural/Residential, which allows for residential and certain commercial uses (buyer to verify zoning, permits, and intended use with the county) Zoning allows one residence per five acres, offering flexibility for owner occupancy, ranch staff, employee housing, family compound with the potential for up to three additional residences (buyer to verify zoning allowances, density, permits, and feasibility for additional housing and intended use). Accessed by a long, private drive with a secluded entry, the property provides exceptional privacy, nestled amongst acres of orange groves, with no noise or light pollution - an increasingly rare feature for both ranching operations and family living. Ideal for uses requiring security, discretion, or uninterrupted activity. The land is fully fenced with established Bahia grass pastures and is cattle- and livestock-ready, featuring barns, livestock and poultry facilities with electric and water, kennels, workshops, RV hookups, storage buildings, gardens, and a 1+ acre pond supporting both agricultural and operational needs. Hunting opportunities exist on the property and throughout surrounding rural areas. Well established infrastructure includes a 24x40 insulated pole barn with metal siding, upgraded electrical and climate-controlled areas, a partially built-out processing/kitchen zone with propane-fed oven, and walk in cold-storage conversion potential. This structure offers strong potential for light commercial use, equipment storage, or future barndominium-style build out (buyer to verify feasibility and permitting). Additional outbuildings with water and electric support production, storage, and flexible workspace use. The main residence provides immediate use for on-site management or owner occupancy and features open-concept living with expansive screened porches overlooking the pond. Potential exists to connect front and back porches for complete wrap around. Recent upgrades include new LVP flooring, fresh interior paint, updated trim, and faux-wood blinds. A 24KW Generac generator with a 500-gallon underground propane tank powers the entire complex, providing reliable backup power, operational continuity and peace of mind. Conveniently located within driving distance to Tampa, Orlando, and Bradenton airports, the property also offers access to nearby outdoor recreation. A public boat ramp to Lake Buffum—an over 1,200-acre lake known for excellent bass fishing—is just minutes away, along with Peace River parks offering kayaking, hiking, and wildlife experiences. Private, versatile, livestock-ready, and completely ready for operation - this property presents a rare opportunity for working ranch operations, commercial use, and long-term residential or income-producing potential. (Buyer to verify all zoning, use, and development possibilities.) ***Owner may consider financing for qualified buyers with agreeable terms.
