The combination of these attributes provides a unique setting for future residential development, with the waterfront offering the potential to enhance both community design and long-term value.
The property is designated primarily Low Density Residential under the Town of Dundee Future Land Use Map, allowing primarily single-family residential development at densities of up to 5.0 dwelling units per acre.

Situated at the southern edge of Dundee and adjacent to the City of Lake Wales, the property is strategically positioned within the Dundee–Lake Wales development corridor. The surrounding area continues to experience residential expansion as growth moves through this portion of Polk County. Between 2020 and 2025, Polk County’s population increased approximately 21% to nearly 875,000 residents, more than twice Florida’s statewide growth rate over the same period. These trends support the property’s potential as a mid- to long-term investment as development and infrastructure progress toward the site.
