These are the five highest-priced home sales reported in Lakeland-Winter Haven / Polk County, Florida for the week ending October 25, 2026, and together they came to $4.46 million. Each of the five sold in a different city: Auburndale, Polk City, Lakeland, Davenport and Bartow.
The week had a little of everything the county offers, from life on a lake and acreage in the country to a golf community and a gated street of custom homes.
No. 1 — $1,120,000 · 5911 Old Berkley Road, Auburndale, Florida
The top sale of the week was a lakefront home in the Rogers Landing neighborhood of Auburndale, which sold for $1,120,000. Built in 2011 of block and stucco, it has six bedrooms, five baths and 4,185 square feet on 0.59 acres. The property last sold for $105,000 in 2010, before the current home was built.
The home is organized around two ways of living. A lower level is set aside for the younger members of a family, with bedrooms of their own, a hangout area and a game room, and doors that lead out toward the pool and the lake. The main living level is modern and open, with high ceilings, a combined kitchen and family room with stone counters, lake views and a balcony. The home faces east, so it takes in the morning sun and is spared the strongest light of the afternoon.
Outside, the water is the point. The property has a boat house with a covered lift, a private dock and a boat launch, and skiing is allowed on the lake. Closer to the home are a self-cleaning in-ground pool, a patio, front and rear porches and a three-car garage.
Keith St. Onge of LA ROSA REALTY PRESTIGE was the listing agent, and Sana Butt, LLC of THE FIRM RE represented the buyer in the highest-priced sale of the week.

No. 2 — $930,000 · 17620 Poyner Road N, Polk City, Florida
The land is the story at 17620 Poyner Road N in Polk City, which sold for $930,000. Its 34.23 acres of farm and pasture make up the largest lot among the five sales, while the home itself is the smallest of the group, a two-story block home built in 2000 with three bedrooms, two baths and 1,912 square feet. Inside are vaulted ceilings, an open floor plan, hardwood floors and a fireplace in the family room. The listing says the sellers built the home themselves.
The acreage is set up for work as well as quiet. A pole barn, a workshop and several sheds give room for equipment and projects, and a carport covers the vehicles. For warm afternoons there is an above-ground pool with a deck.

Much of the living here happens outdoors, on a large screened lanai. It takes in an outdoor kitchen, where the grill is built in and runs on propane, as well as the home’s heated saltwater pool and spa. Inside, the kitchen has a propane cooktop and an electric wall oven, plus a breakfast bar and a pantry. The plan adds a flex room and a guest suite, with the bedrooms split apart, and the primary bath has a tub and a separate shower. A whole-home generator and a three-car garage with room left over for storage cover the practical side.
