Blue Jordan Forest is a gated rural acreage community in southeast Polk County, near Frostproof and Babson Park, designated by the community as a wildlife sanctuary (Blue Jordan Forest Owners' Association, 2026). It is built around large lots rather than a dense street grid, with the association describing roughly 299 lots averaging about three acres each off Blue Jordan Road and R E Byrd Road.
The owners' association maintains the common areas, the gated entrances, the lighting, and the roads, funded by annual dues, with volunteers from the membership helping with upkeep (Blue Jordan Forest Owners' Association, 2026). Listings in the community describe wooded, private parcels with frequent wildlife, including deer and other native species, consistent with the sanctuary setting. Confirm the current dues, the association rules, and the recorded deed restrictions for any specific lot.
Because this is rural acreage, the money is made or lost on the parcel and its utilities, not on a townwide average. The drivers are the lot size and shape, the road frontage and access, whether the parcel relies on private well and septic, any wetlands or soils constraints, and the owners' association rules, all of which have to be read parcel by parcel from the survey, the title work, and the association documents.
The pitch is space, privacy, and a nature-oriented rural setting within reach of central Florida. Frostproof, Babson Park, and the chain-of-lakes country are nearby, with US 27 the main corridor north toward Haines City and the Interstate 4 region; the drive to larger employment and shopping centers is real, so confirm your commute and verify utilities, access, and restrictions by address before you buy.
