1593 Pfundstein ROAD, Babson Park, FL, 33827 | $521,000

Nestled in the heart of Central Florida, where the hum of the city fades into the whispers of the wilderness, lies a sanctuary designed for resilience and self-sufficiency. Welcome to 1593 Pfundstein Rd, a prepper’s paradise that is a testament to the enduring human spirit and the quest for autonomy in uncertain times.
As you approach this 9. 77-acre haven, you are greeted by the serene presence of a tranquil, stocked lake. Its surface mirrors the sky above and promises an abundant source of life-giving water. The property, which backs up to a federally protected forest, offers a buffer from the outside world, ensuring privacy and a rare and invaluable connection with nature.
The heart of this retreat is a 1, 832 sqft single-family residence, a fortress of comfort built in 1990 with the foresight of sustainability. The home is powered by a 10 KW, fully paid-for, ground-mounted solar system with a 16 KW battery backup, ensuring that even when the grid falters, this home remains a beacon of light and warmth.
Water, the essence of life, is secured with two deep wells—one with filtration—and an additional shallow well for irrigation, safeguarding your water needs come what may. The land itself is a canvas for self-reliance, with deer-proof raised self-watering grow boxes and an assortment of fruit trees, grapes, and figs, creating a veritable Garden of Eden from which you can nourish yourself and your loved ones.
The residence boasts two master suites, one of which features a jetted tub for two with a breathtaking lake view, offering a sanctuary for relaxation after a day of tending to the land. The enormous kitchen with a walk-in pantry and an open floor plan creates a bright, airy space where the act of cooking transforms into a celebration of the harvest.
Outbuildings, including a barn, garden shed, storage shed, and woodworking shed, provide ample space for tools and supplies, ensuring everything has its place. The chicken coop, nestled within an enclosed yard, promises a daily bounty of fresh eggs, a simple yet profound joy.
This property is not just a home; it’s a statement of independence, a bulwark against the tides of change, and a commitment to a way of life that honors the earth and its cycles. It’s a place where you can watch the turkeys and deer meander by from your screened porch, where every sunrise and sunset is an artwork painted just for you, and where the future is something you shape with your own hands.
For those who hear the call of self-reliance and yearn for a life less ordinary, 1593 Pfundstein Rd is more than an address—it’s a destiny. To embark on this journey and claim your piece of tranquility, contact your Realtor to arrange a personal tour.
