Riverfront
Cottage For Sale… Landscaping by Mother Nature
Imagine a cottage nestled in 12 and a half acres of unspoiled North
Florida forest, high upon the banks of the majestic Suwannee River… a
place where native flora and fauna flourish, where protected habitat
sustains a wealth of animal and birdlife, where endangered species still
reign.
Imagine
lounging on a river-view porch at sunset watching a manatee cresting for
air as a Great Horned Owl swoops from his perch in a Spanish moss-laden
Century Oak in search of his evening meal. A resident red-tailed fox
lopes through palmetto and wild azalea as a white-tailed deer leads her
fawn to the river for a drink.
Private enough to sunbathe in your
birthday suit, this 700 square foot frame home features plantation shutters,
two porches – one with screen and one without, pine cabinets and
flooring throughout.
The
recently renovated, fully-equipped kitchen features elegant black
appliances with porcelain sink and granite counter tops.
Painted in cheerful Florida colors, the living area and single bedroom
are tastefully framed in crown molding with fluted casings and rosettes
and wide baseboards. There are wooden doors and pane windows throughout,
and a ceramic tile bath with all porcelain fixtures.
One hour from Gainesville, this 12.79 Gilchrist County acreage has 528
feet of river frontage, including a private boat dock, with views of
both up river and down…. recreation options abound for water sport
enthusiasts, including boating, water sking, kayaking, canoeing,
fishing, swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving.
Ambling through a majestic virgin forest of Dogwood, River Birch,
Magnolia, Bald Cypress, Sweet Gum, Live Oak and Longleaf Pine… one can
enjoy bird-watching, hiking, and exploring land once inhabited by
indigenous native Floridians.
Whether as a private residence or a vacation home, this secluded parcel
of North Florida paradise is ready to enjoy.
Listing Price: $785,000
