64 Our ROAD

Step back into old Florida as you enter this almost 2 acre property on the Withlacoochie River. Ancient pine trees, lush landscaping, and a long dirt drive take you away from the hustle of daily life to a quiet retreat. Drive through the bamboo archway into a garden oasis surrounding this sweet cottage. As you enter the front door, Pecky cypress walls surround the open concept kitchen, dining and living room spaces. As you walk around, large picture windows look out onto the calm Withlacoochie River just steps outside the back door. The kitchen features hardwood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and an entertaining island. Open dining flows into the living room with handmade shelving, stone fireplace hearth and a wood burning fire place. Two generous sized bedrooms both feature walk in closets, and updated en-suite bathrooms. As you open the sliding glass doors, step out onto the expansive 1500 SF deck and dock floating over the river. The peacefulness of the breeze through the old oaks and palms provides a temperature drop for dining al fresco on the handmade picnic table, or finishing off the dock level. There is also a ramp to easily launch kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. The Withlacoochie River is about 16' deep off the dock, so no need to downsize your boat! The Withlacoochie River flows out to the Gulf of Mexico and is vibrant with manatees, dolphin, scallops, birds, turtles, fish, and more wildlife, and there is always something to watch off this deck. The expansive property also has several gardens, a shed with carport, burn pit, and power hookup for RV. Property elevation runs from approximately 6.7' to more than 17' toward the road. Current home could serve as guest house or summer kitchen with a larger home to be built on the property out of the flood zone. Don't miss your chance to unplug and enjoy the quiet life!
