8552 BRANDING IRON TRAIL,Plant City,Hillsborough,Residential

Newly positioned at $1,299,000, this exceptional custom-built 5-bedroom, 3-bath pool home offers 3.21 fully cleared and manicured acres in Flood Zone X with peaceful views of a picturesque organic strawberry farm. No CDD. No HOA. Completed in summer 2023 and surrounded by newer custom homes in North Plant City, this property combines privacy, acreage, and upscale living with convenient access to McIntosh Rd, I-4, downtown Plant City, Brandon, Tampa, Lakeland, and the Orlando corridor.

The owner was personally involved throughout construction, resulting in thoughtful attention to detail. Built on a stem-wall foundation, the home sits approximately three feet above the surrounding lot and features impressive ceiling heights, including approximately 13 feet in select areas and 10 feet throughout, along with tray ceilings in the great room, dining room, primary suite, and additional bedroom/office.

Enter through double front doors to expansive sightlines and a direct view of the sparkling in-ground pool. The spacious great room features a dramatic tray ceiling with integrated LED lighting, while two separate living areas provide flexibility for entertaining and everyday living. Crown molding, 6-inch baseboards, recessed LED lighting, tile flooring, and carefully selected finishes continue throughout.

The chef-inspired kitchen features double wall ovens, matching appliances, a 36-inch convection cooktop/range with coordinating hood, abundant cabinetry, and a massive one-piece high-end granite island designed for gathering and entertaining.

The split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy for the primary suite, where the spacious bath offers an oversized walk-in shower, two separate vanities, generous storage, and a dedicated linen closet.

Outside, an oversized covered lanai overlooks the pool, decorative water feature, expansive acreage, and neighboring strawberry fields, creating a beautiful backdrop for outdoor living. The completely cleared and highly usable acreage offers exceptional flexibility for future additions, workshops, garages, recreational structures, or detached living space, subject to applicable approvals.

The property also offers abundant parking with an oversized side-by-side driveway, additional side parking, and an oversized 2-car garage. A dedicated RV connection and generator connection wired directly into the main electrical panel are already installed.

Additional features include plantation shutters, a built-in alarm system, laundry room with cabinetry and utility sink, whole-home water softener, and an upgraded private well with a higher-powered pump drilled deeper during construction to access a cleaner water source.

Few properties combine this combination of a nearly new custom home, pool, more than three acres of cleared and usable land, agricultural views, privacy, generous parking, and thoughtful upgrades while remaining so convenient to Tampa Bay and surrounding areas. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful country living without sacrificing proximity to shopping, dining, universities, entertainment, and major employment centers.
