About this home
Opportunities like this almost never surface, and when they do, they are typically held for generations. Tucked beyond a nearly 400-foot private drive, approximately 25 feet wide, 16619 Indian Mound unveils a setting that feels worlds away from the city while remaining remarkably close to it. Positioned along the quiet southern shoreline of private Byrd Lake, an approximately 18-acre freshwater retreat shared in part with neighboring Avila, this approximately 3.01-acre parcel with approximately 133 feet of lake frontage offers a rare canvas for a true legacy estate defined by nature, water, and enduring privacy. Large private lakefront parcels of this scale are extraordinarily scarce. Over the past three years, only two lakefront lot sales in all of Tampa have exceeded 2.5 acres, underscoring how rarely opportunities like this become available and reinforcing the long-term significance of securing land of this caliber.
As morning arrives, a soft veil of mist rises from the lake’s glass-like surface, reflecting towering bald cypress, mature pines, and ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss. The shoreline curves gently, creating layered sightlines that shift with the light throughout the day. Wildlife moves quietly along the water’s edge, while the calm shoreline invites moments of stillness rarely found this close to Tampa’s urban core. The homesite remains completely unseen from the road, delivering a sense of arrival more often associated with countryside estates than with property located just minutes from Downtown Tampa.
The southern lake-facing exposure brings a consistent rhythm of natural light that transforms the landscape from sunrise through late afternoon. Sunlight dances across the water, warming the open lawn and creating a vibrant, “alive” feeling across the entire yard. This orientation is ideal for designing resort-style outdoor living, sun-filled pool terraces, and expansive glass-lined interiors that remain bright and welcoming throughout the day. Rather than relying solely on dramatic sunset moments, the property offers a balanced golden glow that enhances daily living, photography, and architectural design.
Imagine a modern estate rising from the shoreline, framed by mature trees and open sky. Elevated terraces overlooking the water. A private dock extending into calm freshwater, perfect for kayaking at sunrise or casting a line in the quiet evening air. With no HOA restrictions limiting your vision, architecture and landscape can work together in ways rarely possible within gated communities. The expansive frontage naturally supports thoughtful design, allowing sweeping water vistas from nearly every primary living space.
Byrd Lake is one of only a small number of Tampa lakes exceeding 18 acres in size and is among the closest to Downtown and South Tampa. Water Street is approximately 15 minutes away, and Tampa International Airport about 20 minutes away, yet the absence of public boat ramps preserves a level of peace and exclusivity that feels increasingly rare. Simple docks often qualify for streamlined DEP self-certification, providing effortless access to calm waters ideal for paddleboarding, fishing, or simply drifting across the lake at dawn.
