City Editor Amelia here, and I'll admit: I'm a bit of a real estate nerd. When I'm not out and about in Lakeland, you can probably find me curled up perusing homes on Zillow — don't judge me, you know you've done it at least once.

Today, I'm sharing a bit of my scroll history featuring some of the highest-priced Lakeland listings I've come across.

South Lakeland waterfront estate

Entertainers have met their match with this home. As soon as I saw the spacious living + dining areas, I immediately pictured them filled with people à la "The Great Gatsby." From the full tennis + basketball court to the pool, private dock on Scott Lake, and home theater, getting bored here is simply not an option.

Dream house loading — visionaries can put their unique stamp on this estate that's one of only seven directly on Lake Hollingsworth. Architectural renderings for the space include room for a home gym, gaming area, primary suite with private balcony, and even the potential to add a pool. BRB, summoning my inner Joanna Gaines.

Imagine driving up to this farmhouse surrounded by trees after a bustling day downtown — I can feel myself relaxing already. Oh, and did I mention it also has its own horse barn and sits on ~14 acres? If you want a taste of classic country living while still being within driving distance of your favorite shops + restaurants, this is the spot for you.
