Lakefront Polk County estate sets sales record

A 9,215-square-foot estate in Auburndale has sold, setting, the Realtor says, a record for the most expensive home to change hands in Polk County.

The house is at 501 Adams Barn Road and sits on 44 acres. Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Winter Park office says it sold for $4.1 million.

To put it into perspective, the firm announced earlier this week that two nearly complete homes in Collier County were listed for $9.94 million and $9.64 million respectively. Those houses sat on less than 2 acres. And a waterfront house in Naples’ Port Royal neighborhood was recently listed for $45 million, according to John R. Wood Christie’s International Real Estate.
