The property features approximately 88% uplands and 12% wetlands, with one mile of lake frontage along Lake Tohopekaliga, offering prime potential for waterfront development. The planned Southport Connector Expressway, which will border the property’s southern edge, will enhance connectivity between Polk and Osceola Counties, boosting its value and supporting large-scale development. Flexible zoning and infrastructure access, as outlined in the Osceola County South Lake Toho Conceptual Master Plan, make this site ideal for innovative commercial, industrial, and community projects.
