Tucked beyond a nearly 400-foot-long private drive, approximately 25 feet wide, 16619 Indian Mound reveals a setting rarely experienced this close to Tampa’s urban core. Positioned along the quiet shoreline of private Byrd Lake, an approximately 18-acre freshwater retreat shared in part with neighboring Avila, this 2.87-acre parcel with approximately 133 feet of lake frontage offers the rare opportunity to shape a true legacy estate surrounded by nature, water, and enduring privacy. The homesite remains completely unseen from the road, creating a sense of arrival more often associated with countryside estates than with property located just minutes from Downtown Tampa. Morning light rises across the lake’s calm surface, framed by towering bald cypress, mature pines, and centuries-old oaks draped in Spanish moss.

This parcel embodies the sophistication and privacy found in neighboring Avila, yet with more land, more seclusion, and an entirely unobstructed natural setting. Imagine building a modern estate with resort-level outdoor living, curated landscaping, and sweeping water vistas uninterrupted by public access or noise. With no HOA restrictions limiting your vision, you have the freedom to design the masterpiece you have always envisioned, allowing architecture and landscape to work together in a way rarely possible within gated communities. The expansive frontage provides a natural stage for thoughtful architecture, allowing glass-lined living spaces, expansive terraces, and outdoor environments designed to embrace sweeping water views.
Most of the building envelope sits within Flood Zone X, while Hillsborough County shoreline setbacks help preserve long-term value and the natural character of the lakefront. Simple docks often qualify for streamlined DEP self-certification, allowing future owners to enjoy direct access to calm waters ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, or fishing. 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, placing Water Street approximately 15 minutes away and Tampa International Airport about 20 minutes away. The absence of public boat ramps maintains a peaceful atmosphere rarely found in larger waterfront communities. Large private lakefront parcels of this scale seldom become available, particularly in such a protected setting. For those seeking to design an estate where modern architecture meets natural tranquility, this property offers a rare canvas defined by privacy, prestige, and timeless potential.
