Overview

*CASH ONLY* 3296 W Lake Buffum Road is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom manufactured home sitting on a full, private one-acre lot in Fort Meade, Florida, being sold strictly as-is at a price that leaves plenty of room to add value. This is a fantastic opportunity for an investor, contractor, or hands-on buyer who wants a property where much of the heavy lifting is already done. With over an acre of land and no HOA, you have the kind of freedom and space that is nearly impossible to find at this price point in Polk County. Inside, the home features a spacious, open living area filled with natural light from a large picture window, along with three comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms, giving you a functional layout with plenty of room to live, relax, and make it your own. The best part of this home is everything that has already been taken care of. Major updates include a newer roof installed around 2024, replacement windows added around 2025, updated bathrooms with tiled showers, and updated flooring throughout. The plumbing was redone in 2020, the property is served by a newer well and a septic system that was recently pumped, and the electrical panel is in good condition. That means the big, expensive, and time-consuming items are largely behind you, allowing the next owner to focus on the finishing touches instead of the major systems. To bring this home fully back to life, it needs an air conditioning system, some minor drywall repairs, and a thorough cleanup and cosmetic refresh. For the right buyer, that short and manageable list of to-dos is exactly where the opportunity lies. Add your personal style and instantly build equity in a home that already has strong bones, recent upgrades, and a full acre of land underneath it. Speaking of the land, this is where the property truly shines. Set on a full, usable acre, it delivers authentic country living with room to spread out, park your boat, RV, work trucks, trailers, or recreational toys, plant a garden, keep animals, or add a workshop, garage, or additional structures down the road. The possibilities are wide open, and there are no HOA rules or monthly fees standing in your way. The location blends privacy with convenience. You will enjoy a peaceful, rural Polk County setting while staying within easy reach of Fort Meade, Bartow, and Lakeland for shopping, dining, schools, and daily essentials, with quick access to the highways that connect you across Central Florida. Nearby Lake Buffum adds excellent fishing, boating, and outdoor recreation just down the road. Homes on a full acre with this many completed updates and no HOA simply do not last long in today`s market. Whether you are searching for your next flip, a rental to add to your portfolio, or an affordable place to call your own, 3296 W Lake Buffum Road is ready for its next chapter. Sold as-is, cash or renovation financing preferred. Schedule your private showing today, because this rare Fort Meade opportunity on a full acre will not last long.
