About This Property
Welcome to 3005 Scrub Oak Lane, a secluded lakefront retreat where 5 acres of Old Florida beauty, exceptional privacy, and direct access to one of Florida’s legendary trophy bass lakes come together to combine the ideal fisherman's paradise. Tucked away at the end of a quiet road on the shores of Lake Walk-in-Water, also known as Lake Weohyakapka, the property sits approximately 80 feet above sea level, creating a remarkable elevated setting with dramatic, long-range views across the lake. A long wooded drive winds through the property before opening to the homesite, where a picturesque aquifer-fed pond with fountain creates a memorable first impression. Beyond the home, the land opens toward the water, where magnificent oaks draped in Spanish moss frame sweeping views across the lake. The elevation provides an impressive perspective rarely found along Florida’s waterfront, allowing the expansive lake and horizon to become a backdrop to everyday life. Built of concrete block construction, the single-story residence offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a 2-car garage, high ceilings, and a comfortable floor plan designed to take advantage of its waterfront setting. The spacious living and dining areas provide plenty of room to gather, while the nicely equipped kitchen features granite countertops and KitchenAid stainless steel appliances. The primary suite enjoys beautiful lake views, a walk-in closet, and private bath, while two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. The Florida room may quickly become your favorite space in the house. Surrounded by windows and positioned toward the water, it provides an incredible vantage point for taking in the elevated lake views, wildlife, and changing skies throughout the day. Outside is where this property truly separates itself. Follow the shoreline beneath moss-draped oaks to your private dock extending into 7,500+ acre Lake Walk-in-Water, renowned for its trophy largemouth bass fishing. Launch the boat for an early morning on the water, fish from your own dock, kayak or paddleboard along the shoreline, or simply enjoy the solitude and wide-open water. Bald eagles, ospreys, sandhill cranes, and other native wildlife are part of the scenery, while the expansive lake and natural surroundings preserve an unmistakable Old Florida atmosphere. For the outdoor enthusiast, the location offers even more to explore. Lake Kissimmee State Park, the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, Allen David Broussard Catfish Creek Preserve State Park, and the protected lands of the Lake Wales Ridge place boating, fishing, hiking, paddling, birding, and some of Central Florida’s most beautiful natural landscapes within easy reach. And while the setting feels wonderfully removed from the outside world, you don't have to sacrifice convenience to find this level of privacy. Lake Wales provides shopping, dining, medical services, and everyday necessities, including AdventHealth Lake Wales, while US Highway 27 and State Road 60 provide convenient connections throughout Central Florida. For the buyer searching for more than simply a lake house, 3005 Scrub Oak Lane offers an extraordinary combination of acreage, seclusion, elevation, panoramic lake views, natural beauty, and direct access to a fishing paradise.
