Set high above the 500-year floodplain, the property offers peace of mind and breathtaking views of one of Florida’s most scenic rivers. What makes it truly special is its historical significance—this land is a registered archaeological site, with artifacts that reflect centuries of Florida heritage. Owning this home means more than just a place to live; it means becoming the caretaker of a rich and storied landscape. Outside, the property is a haven for nature lovers and adventurers alike. The surrounding waters of the Santa Fe River are spring-fed, clear, and teeming with life—from world-class fishing to kayaking, wildlife watching, and even scuba diving in nearby springs and river caverns. Manatees frequently pass by during their seasonal migrations, drawn to the river’s over 100 freshwater springs. The Amish-built barn adds valuable space for equipment, storage, or potential conversion into a workshop, studio, or guest space. Currently operating as a licensed nursery, the property offers additional opportunities for small business use or expansion into gardens, orchards, or other agricultural ventures. The natural beauty of the land is unmatched—towering live oaks, including one estimated to be over 400 years old, stand alongside magnolias, persimmons, and sweet gums. The lush understory is alive with biodiversity, supporting a variety of Florida wildlife including white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, bald eagles, and river otters. Every season brings its own soundtrack—from the rustle of leaves to the call of birds overhead.
