Attention all Nature lovers! This home was lovingly named the Ibis House and was built for a scientist that simply wanted to study nature and the animals that live there. The house sits on 9.18+- acres which is mostly undisturbed natural Florida habitat and is located just west of Highlands Hammock State Park over the Hardee County Line. It's the last property on the road at the end of the cul-de-sac – so no through traffic. This is the perfect property to feel like you are living off the grid – yet still close to US 27 where you will find restaurants, shopping and medical care. The 2007 home is CBS Construction with see through hurricane shutters for every window, it has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an interior laundry room. The exterior of the house has just been re-painted. There is a lily pond in the front yard, a storage container on the right side of the property and a workshop at the back of the drive. The well water tastes like fresh crystal spring water. There is so much potential with this house and land – it might be a natural location for a homestead farm.
