Red Bird Realty-Central Florida

08/06/2026

Experience an extraordinary opportunity to own one of Central Florida’s most remarkable private island estates in Lake Marion, Florida. Historic Bannon Island in Polk County is a rare waterfront sanctuary that offers unmatched privacy, breathtaking 360-degree lake views, and the perfect balance of secluded island living with convenient access to Orlando, Tampa, world-renowned attractions, premier golf, and major international airports. Bannon Island is only accessible by boat, seaplane or helicopter.

A 5034-square-foot main residence anchors the island and is complemented by a separate 2698 sq. foot duplex residence and four additional accessory buildings, creating an exceptional setting for a private family compound, multigenerational living, or hosting guests in complete privacy. Despite its remarkable seclusion, this extraordinary estate offers the rare combination of total exclusivity and convenient access to everything Central Florida has to offer.

The custom-designed main residence is an architectural masterpiece centered around a dramatic octagonal great room with soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and extraordinary craftsmanship throughout. Reclaimed cypress harvested from the island, dating back to the 1800s, enriches the home’s distinctive character. The residence was thoughtfully designed in the form of a Celtic cross, with four wings radiating from the central octagon to maximize natural light and panoramic lake views. The gourmet kitchen, elegant gathering spaces, elevator, impressive library, and luxurious owner’s suite are thoughtfully designed for both grand-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living.

Expansive porches, tropical landscaping, citrus groves stocked with Valencia orange trees and private outdoor living areas all embrace the spectacular waterfront setting from every angle of this unique island.

Offered at $12,000,000.
Private showings by appointment only.

Bannon Island, a storied pioneer island in the middle of Polk County’s Lake Marion, is now on the market for the first time in over a hundred years. The 20-acre island’s first known resident was Echo Emathla Chipco, also known as the Seminole tribe’s “Chief Chipco,” who maintained a camp on the island until the 1880s, according to the Lakeland Ledger.

Oakbridge Publix Scale
Lakeland, Florida
I gave Publix "guff" back when they reopened the store because the scale was missing.
While this has weighed heavy on my mind, I see now Publix has returned balance by bringing back the scale.
I take back my guff.
