About this property

3400 sf Stilt Home Retreat of Gated Privacy on Homosassa Peninsula

The perfect waterfront retreat! Great deep water canal off Homosassa River! No bridges. 2/2 upstairs with cedar wood interior and Trex deck. Downstairs, an additional bed in an open alcove area, bathroom, and a game room.

This is a gated peninsula property with 2 homes/boat docks. We do not own the other home/boat dock and it is not a rental, but is private property. Our home and boat dock is available as a rental. It is a 2 story stilt home. There is a 50’ Trex boat dock that sits behind our home with a boat lift. The boat lift is not available. Just a snook's jump to the river and minutes to the Gulf of Mexico. The Homosassa River is home to the Homosassa River State Wildlife Park and Springs, great fishing and casual waterfront dining.

Upstairs 2/2: 2 carpeted bedrooms with queen size beds each with its own tiled bathroom. Laundry room with washer and dryer. The Kitchen sports a center island with glass top stove and appliances, cookware, dishes and utensils. Dining room seats 6 at a glass top table. Cable TV in living room. Both upstairs bedrooms overlook the water. This is a stilt home. Access to downstairs has exterior front and back stairways.

Downstairs Game Room and Bed: 1 tiled open room features queen size bed and dresser. There is a large bathroom and shower. Large open game room includes pool table, ping pong table, and wall mounted dart board and cable TV. Tired of indoor sports? Step outside to the 50' Trex dock and hop in your boat to go fish or float with the Manatees at the Springs in minutes.

Exterior Property Features: Property includes trex dock. Enclosed, attached garage with security code. Coded gate access to property.

Month stay
We liked this part of old Homosassa because it was quiet and there were many canals in the river close by as well as great places to eat. We didn’t bring a boat or kayaks, but they would be ideal at this location. There is a nice rec room downstairs for ping-pong and pool and darts. Our host couple was very responsive to a couple of minor needs. The beds were great and we used the charcoal grill frequently.

Homosassa
Excellent, owners cleaned up waterfront property within 2 days after Hurricane Idalia stormed through. Good dock for tie-up of 24' boat. Great scalloping and fishing in Homosassa Bay.
