Country Trails is a rural acreage neighborhood in Polk City, Polk County, located southeast of Moore Road and northeast of Tenoroc Mine Road, off Country Trails Drive (city-data neighborhood profile, 2026). The community dates back to roughly the 1980s and has continued to develop over the years, with most of the housing stock established but not old.
The neighborhood is made up of single-family homes and manufactured homes on owned acreage homesites, with listing guides describing parcels of roughly one to five acres in a quiet, wooded, low-density setting (neighborhoods.com and listing data, 2026). Homes range broadly in size and vintage, so confirm the exact acreage, the construction type, and the home age for any specific parcel.
Because this is an acreage subdivision rather than a tight platted community, the money is made or lost on the parcel and the home, not the address. The drivers are the lot size and usability, the home construction type and condition, the well and septic systems, and the property owners association rules, all of which have to be read per parcel and from the current association documents.
The pitch is rural space within reach of Central Florida: Polk City sits between Lakeland and the I-4 corridor toward Auburndale and Orlando, with the Tenoroc public use area and the Green Swamp nearby for outdoor recreation. The work is the diligence: verify the acreage, the construction, the well and septic, and the association rules before you buy the trees.
