ODESSA, FLA. (July 11, 2025) — 19144 Huckavalle Road has sold for $3,650,000, achieving the highest-priced residential transaction in ZIP code 33556 so far this year. The record-breaking sale was represented by Karen Hegemeier and Alee Douglass of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s South Tampa office.

This exceptional equestrian estate spans more than ten acres and encompasses a custom-built main residence, a separate guest house, and two expansive barns. Tucked between the Lake Frances and Lake Dan Nature Preserves and bordered by 1,000 acres of Environmental Lands Acquisition and Protection Program (ELAPP) land, the property offers a rare blend of privacy, serenity, and immersion in Florida’s natural beauty. From the moment one enters the gated drive, a landscape of mature timber pine, manicured greenery, and expansive skies sets the tone for a lifestyle of refined tranquility.

The main residence is situated on just over five acres and exudes understated elegance throughout. Designed with luxury and functionality in mind, the open floor plan leads to walls of hurricane-rated glass doors framing uninterrupted views of the pool and protected land, seamlessly merging the indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The chef’s kitchen is the heart of the home. The expansive primary suite is a private sanctuary and each of the additional bathrooms features granite countertops and walk-in showers, with two of the four guest bedrooms offering en-suite layouts and generously sized closets.

The lanai offers an idyllic setting for alfresco entertaining, appointed with an outdoor fireplace and summer kitchen, while the resort-style pool and spa provide the perfect retreat, featuring a mineral filtration system, sunning deck, and customizable lighting. The 20-stall barn offers exceptional functionality with baths, storage rooms, and a versatile configuration tailored for equestrian use.

Adjacent to the main home, the guest house rests on its own 5.49-acre parcel and encompasses 1,555 square feet with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious deck, and a two-car garage. A second barn, complete with electrical, plumbing, and a large concrete pad for equipment, is also located on this parcel. Notable upgrades throughout the estate include full generator wiring, hurricane-rated windows and doors, and maturing pine trees with future timber potential.

“This extraordinary property offered a rare blend of refined living, equestrian excellence, and unparalleled natural beauty,” said Karen Hegemeier and Alee Douglass, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. “A sale of this caliber reflects the growing demand for private estates that provide both luxury and a meaningful connection to the land.”
