Pierce Hills Country Estates is a rural country-estate subdivision in unincorporated Lake Wales, Polk County, near Lake Pierce in east Polk County (real estate neighborhood records, RE/MAX and Coldwell Banker community profiles, 2026). It is mapped as a distinct named community of large single-family acreage parcels rather than a dense subdivision of small lots.
The community reads as a low-density acreage plat: recently recorded sales here have included sizable land parcels, such as multi-acre lots, alongside homes, so a buyer should confirm whether a given parcel is an improved homesite or raw land (Estately sold records for Pierce Hills Country Estates, 2026). Lot sizes, frontage, and access vary parcel to parcel, so verify the exact acreage and road access on the recorded plat.
Because this is rural acreage, the money is made or lost on the parcel and its servicing, not on a community average. The drivers are the lot size and shape, the road access and any easements, whether water and waste are well and septic or connected utilities, the FEMA flood and wetland picture given the Lake Pierce area, and any recorded deed restrictions or property-owner rules, all of which have to be read from the recorded plat and county records for the specific parcel.
The pitch is country living with space and privacy near a major Polk County lake, within reach of Lake Wales for services and the US 27 and SR 60 corridors for commuting. The work is the diligence: confirm the buildability, the utilities, the flood and wetland lines, and any restrictions per parcel before you buy the open space.
