15 Acres (three 5-acre lots) of pristine Florida, comprising BOTH banks of Weohyakapka Creek (Walk-In-Water Creek), zoned ARR (agriculture-rural-residential). VERY private… A great eco-getaway!

A pristine Florida wetland reserve, shaded by huge oak trees, with 600 feet of creek flowing year round, 1,500 feet of canoe-able waterways, and 1,000 feet of historic, high ground railway bed with original trestle pilings. This property is made up of three five acre lots in Walk-In-Water Subdivision with two entrances on each side of the Weohyakapka Creek Bridge on Hwy 60. Nine years in the undertaking to purchase these three large choice lots which now encompass both banks of Walk-In-Water Creek complete with an island in the middle!

Walk-In-Water Creek (between Lake Walk-In-Water and Lake Rosalie) flows from Lake Walk-In-Water, the largest lake in Polk County, then continues north to Lake Rosalie and on to Tiger Creek, into the Kissimmee River which flows into Lake Okeechobee with access east to the Atlantic Ocean and west to the Gulf of Mexico. |
