About this home
8552 BRANDING IRON TRAIL
Welcome to this exceptional custom-built 5-bedroom, 3-bath pool home, completed in summer 2023 and situated on a fully cleared, manicured 3.21-acre lot in Flood Zone X overlooking a picturesque organic strawberry farm. No CDD. No HOA. Located among newer custom homes in North Plant City, this property offers peaceful country living and privacy 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—approximately 13 feet in select areas and 10 feet throughout—plus 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 perfect 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, acreage, and neighboring strawberry fields, creating a beautiful backdrop for outdoor living. The completely cleared and highly usable acreage provides exceptional flexibility for future additions, workshops, garages, recreational structures, or detached living accommodations, subject to applicable approvals. The property offers abundant parking with an oversized side-by-side driveway, additional side parking, and 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. A producing sweet-kumquat grove with approximately 70 irrigated trees adds another unique feature, offering both agricultural charm and seasonal harvest potential. Few properties combine 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. Enjoy the best of both worlds—peaceful country living with room to breathe while staying close to shopping, dining, universities, entertainment, and major employment centers. This rare North Plant City retreat brings together the home, land, location, and lifestyle in one exceptional property.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
