7 Beds 10 Baths Bannon Island SubDv. 33844 Zip Code
Experience an extraordinary opportunity to own one of Central Florida’s most remarkable private island estates in Lake Marion, Florida. Historic Bannon Island in Polk County is a rare waterfront sanctuary that offers unmatched privacy, breathtaking 360-degree lake views, and the perfect balance of secluded island living with convenient access to Orlando, Tampa, world-renowned attractions, premier golf, and major international airports. Bannon Island is only accessible by boat, seaplane or helicopter. A 5,034 square-foot main residence anchors the island and is complemented by a separate 2698 square foot duplex residence and four additional accessory buildings, creating an exceptional setting for a private family compound, multigenerational living, or hosting guests in complete privacy. Despite its remarkable seclusion, this extraordinary estate offers the rare combination of total exclusivity and convenient access to everything Central Florida has to offer. The custom-designed main residence is an architectural masterpiece centered around a dramatic octagonal great room with soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and extraordinary craftsmanship throughout. Reclaimed cypress harvested from the island, dating back to the 1800s, enriches the home’s distinctive character. The residence was thoughtfully designed in the form of a Celtic cross, with four wings radiating from the central octagon to maximize natural light and panoramic lake views. The gourmet kitchen, elegant gathering spaces, elevator, impressive library, and luxurious owner’s suite are thoughtfully designed for both grand-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Expansive porches, tropical landscaping, citrus groves stocked with Valencia orange trees and private outdoor living areas all embrace the spectacular waterfront setting from every angle of this unique island. The Florida Department of Agriculture recently designated Bannon Island as a “Century Pioneer Family Farm,” which recognizes continuous original ownership for one hundred years. The beautifully restored historic residence preserves the island’s rich heritage with reclaimed cypress walls, a charming music room, guest accommodations, and timeless architectural details that honor Bannon Island’s storied past. Combining historic significance with refined luxury, modern conveniences, and an unrivaled private island setting, this legacy estate offers a lifestyle found nowhere else in Central Florida. An irreplaceable waterfront retreat where history, privacy, natural beauty, world-class angling opportunities and exceptional accessibility converge. Private viewing by appointment only. Please reference accompanying documents.

The St Rd 557 Lake Alfred property (Parcel ID: 262708000000012010) spans 305 acres, with approximately 92 acres of developable land & is strategically located just 45 minutes (39.6 miles) from Orlando International Airport and 38 minutes (27.3 miles) from Walt Disney World. Currently zoned for agriculture at one dwelling unit per five acres, the site yields about 20 lots, but its contiguity to the City of Lake Alfred offers a strong opportunity for annexation, unlocking access to city water and sewer and enabling rezoning to a much higher density. With a Village Residential designation allowing four units per acre, the property has a projected yield of roughly 408 units. Directly across SR 557, Meritage Homes’ Silver Lakes community has already extended water & sewer infrastructure to their entrance, enhancing feasibility for development. CR 557 is scheduled to be widened to four lanes beginning in summer 2025, with completion expected in three years, and a roundabout will be added at the intersection of CR 557A and CR 557 to improve traffic flow. A five-acre retention pond adjacent to CR 557 will slightly reduce the total developable acreage. The property sits within an active development corridor with major builders such as Pulte, DR Horton, Meritage, and American Homes driving growth, and additional utility extensions by nearby projects will further support development. While the site benefits from strong accessibility and regional demand, considerations include its location within a 100-year flood zone requiring fill and flood insurance, areas of poorly drained soil, and an irregular parcel shape that may constrain layout and reduce final lot yield. Entitlement approvals for annexation, land use amendment, and rezoning are required, but all have a high probability of success and can be pursued concurrently, with an estimated approval timeline of six to twelve months. Directions: From I-4, take exit 44 toward Polk City. Turn L onto SR 559, R on CR 557.
