E Dr, Lake Wales, FL 33825 - Highlands County

This 1.26-acre parcel on State Road 630 E in Avon Park, Florida sits inside the well-known River Ranch community, a massive recreational area spanning roughly 44,000 acres. Zoned RC (Recreational / Conservation), this property is not intended for residential homes. RVs ARE ALLOWED, and tiny homes are allowed only if they are not permanent structures. This land is designed strictly for recreational use, including primitive camping, hunting, fishing, trail riding, ATVs, buggies, and other off-road activities. Permanent structures, houses, manufactured homes, and any permanent living structures are not allowed. There are no restrictions on how long you can stay you can live on the property as long as you want using an RV or approved non-permanent setup, which is a major draw of River Ranch.

This is raw, unimproved recreational land accessed by a dirt road, with no public utilities available. Electricity is handled off-grid, and many landowners rely on generators, solar panels, battery systems, or wind generators when power is needed. Water wells and sewer/septic systems are NOT allowed to be installed on this property. RVs must be fully self-contained, meaning water, waste, and power systems must be handled within the RV itself. Entry into River Ranch is controlled by a guarded gate, and ownership requires a River Ranch membership, with dues of $175.

Heres the straight answer regarding water and wastewater in the River Ranch area. There is no public water and no public sewer service available to individual lots. Unlike traditional vacant land, owners are not permitted to install private wells or septic systems on this property. Most River Ranch landowners rely on self-contained RV systems, hauled water, or portable solutions approved under River Ranch rules. Because permanent utility systems are not allowed, River Ranch is best suited for off-grid, recreational use rather than residential development.

While this property offers privacy and outdoor freedom, everyday services are still reachable by car. Shopping and essentials can be found at Orange Grove Shopping Center (20.6 miles), Walmart Supercenter (27.8 miles), Kohls (27.9 miles), and Lakeshore Mall (36.2 miles).
