Welcome to 8243 Alturas Rd, Bartow, FL! This elegant 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,665 square feet of living space in a beautiful country setting just minutes from scenic orange groves and right down the street from Golden Ridge Groves, where you can enjoy seasonal berry and sunflower picking. Situated on a large 1.93-acre corner lot with a peaceful water view of Perch Lake—yet not located in a flood zone for added peace of mind—this property combines privacy with convenience, featuring public water and sewer, central heating and air, and an attached 2-car garage plus a huge detached workshop/garage with four additional parking spaces and ample storage. Inside, you’ll find a bright open floor plan where the living room flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining area, highlighted by large windows that fill the home with natural light. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and a center island with sink, perfect for gathering and entertaining. Both spacious bedrooms include en suite bathrooms with dual vanities and walk-in showers, and the primary suite offers a walk-in closet. A separate laundry room adds extra convenience. Enjoy Florida living at its finest with a charming front porch, a screened-in covered back lanai, and an additional covered patio area ideal for BBQs or relaxing while taking in sunset views over the water. Located in unincorporated Polk County with no HOA, this property offers freedom and flexibility while still being a short drive to Bartow and Lake Wales with easy access to shopping, dining, Publix, Walmart, and more. Centrally located in Florida, you’re less than 40 miles to Disney World, just over 60 miles to Universal Studios, approximately 30 minutes from Bok Tower Gardens, and within two hours of both Atlantic Ocean and Gulf Coast beaches.
