About the host

I am a pilot who flies as Captain for a major US airline.
My wife and I travel a lot and often have very little or no contact with our guests. However, we employee a full time property manager for our rental home business and he is available for any issues that arise.
Our vacation travel always includes each other. We enjoy boating the rivers, springs, lakes and Gulf of Mexico near us in northern Florida and we spend a lot of time at our other home closer to the Suwannee and Santa Fe rivers. We are both PADI certified divers and enjoy warm and wet outdoor activities...
Why they chose this property
Our home was built by my grandfather in 1943 using timber off the land and it sits on 200+ acres, some of which has been in my family since the 1800s. It was renovated in 1980 and 1992 and has been updated to modern plumbing, wiring, and central heat and air, none of which was a part of the original home.
Five generations of my family have lived on the property, including four in this home. My mother was born here in 1925 and to her death 96+ years later she lived within 200 yards of here.
The property was used as a tobacco farm until the 1980s and has since been planted in commercial pine tree fields amid an old growth, upland hardwood forest.
What makes this property unique
The home is centrally located to lots of northern Florida activities from Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park to tubing the Ichetucknee River to enjoying the many fresh water springs to fishing and scalloping in the Gulf of Mexico to Wild Adventure Park in Lake Park, Ga., this and much more are within 10 minutes to 1 hour from our home.
