What You're Actually Getting
Secure Your Future on Solid Ground.
Welcome to the highly sought-after Sun 'N Lakes Estates of Lake Placid. Located near the quiet intersection of Morningside Drive and Apple Blossom Avenue, this 0.23-acre parcel offers a pristine, wooded canvas for your custom Florida home.
Elevation That Matters In Central Florida, elevation isn't just a number; it's peace of mind. This property sits at 77 to 80 feet of elevation and is classified entirely within Flood Zone X. You are building on high, dry, and fundamentally secure ground.
Zoned for Lasting Value This isn't a free-for-all lot; it's zoned exclusively R-1 (Single-Family Residential). By restricting the area to site-built and modular homes only, this zoning ensures that your investment is protected and surrounded by a neighborhood of traditional, permanent residences.
Freedom from the HOA Enjoy the benefits of an established neighborhood without the overreach of an association. This property features No HOA fees, no mandatory design reviews, and no arbitrary community rules. Your land is your sovereign territory.

World-Class Lakes: Minutes from the boat ramps and fishing docks of Lake Placid, Lake June in Winter, and Lake Grassy.
State Parks: Easy access to the pristine trails of Highlands Hammock State Park.
Perfect Proximity: Just off the US-27 corridor, making commutes to Sebring, Avon Park, or the coasts incredibly easy.

The Visionary
Juliana Scolari
"I founded Golden Ridge because I saw a gap in the market that was leaving good people behind. Banks rarely finance raw land. Traditional real estate isn't designed for land buyers. Golden Ridge Partners changes that dynamic. I built this company to be the solution. Meaning you get the land you want without ever needing a bank’s permission. By deploying my own capital, I act as the lender, offering you simple owner financing that bypasses the banking system entirely"
