Property Description

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Set on approximately 5 acres of private land with over 650 feet of creek frontage and private creek access, this elevated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find. Features include creek frontage, private creek access, kayak and paddleboard access, a screened-in patio, and outdoor living space with room for boats, RVs, ATVs, and all your outdoor toys. It is the kind of place you come home to and instantly feel the shift, where your backyard becomes your retreat, your playground, and your reset at the end of every day. Kayak or paddleboard right from your backyard, start your mornings with soft light filtering through the trees, and end your evenings with Florida sunsets that glow orange through the trees. Wind down by the fire pit under star-filled night skies and experience a sense of peace that is hard to find anywhere else. Surrounded by cypress trees, mature oaks, native Florida wildlife, and open space, the setting feels both peaceful and completely your own. Time slows down here, whether you are birdwatching, exploring the land, or simply soaking in the quiet surroundings. It is a place that draws you into nature. Screened-in patio perfect for winding down after a long day and taking in your private natural surroundings. The elevated design adds both character and function, offering a treehouse-like vantage point along with a large covered space below that is ideal for gatherings, entertaining, hosting barbecues, or future customization. With over 650 feet of creek frontage and private creek access, the property is ideal for kayaking, fishing, fossil hunting, and exploring. The surrounding land creates your own private retreat with plenty of room to roam, ride, and enjoy the outdoors in a way that feels natural and unconfined. Deer, birds, and native wildlife are part of the everyday landscape, adding to the natural beauty and sense of escape. This property is ideal for those seeking a more intentional lifestyle. Whether it is enjoying everything the creek has to offer, tending to your garden or homestead, or gathering around a fire under the stars, every element here supports a slower, more connected way of living filled with freedom and flexibility. Inside, the home features abundant natural light and feels cozy, updated, and like a true retreat. The home offers two beautifully updated bathrooms, including a fully remodeled main bathroom with a deep soaking tub and a renovated primary bathroom with a light, airy design aesthetic. Updates include new lighting, ceiling fans, and a farmhouse kitchen sink. A place to slow down, reconnect, and live in the moment. Come walk the property, take it all in, and feel what makes this place so special.
