About this property

Relax along the River and Let Your Worries Float Away

Beautiful riverfront property and spacious 4 bedroom 2 bath unique home featuring stained glass, exposed beams, sauna, and large deck with outdoor dining space.
Enjoy the "Old Florida" flora and fauna of this 1.4 acre property and take in more scenic views canoeing or kayaking along the historic St Marks River (2 canoes 3 kayaks available). Relax in a hammock on the screened gazebo gazing at the cool water flowing toward the Gulf or maybe throw a line off gazebo's the high fishing deck. Keep an eye out for manatee occasionally gliding upstream and take in the some of the bird life, sighting osprey, great blue herons, kingfishers, pileated woodpeckers, and more.
A large king bedroom upstairs includes a bay window and small balcony looking toward the river. A tall triple bunk room with trundle and loft has windows facing both the woods and the water. The queen bedroom features a map of Old Florida to plot your next adventure. Soak in the clawfoot tub in the upstairs bathroom looking up out the high windows to the canopy of the tree and sky beyond.
Downstairs you will find the main living space with an open floor plan connecting the fully equipped kitchen with the confortable couches and chairs nestled around a delightful wood-burning stove for any cool nights, all within view of the wall mounted tv. Sit out on the connected screened in porch, and when the weather is fine slide away the four full glass doors, expanding the living space even further and letting the breeze fill the house.
The full bedroom is also downstairs near the smaller shower and water closet. In the living area a futon provides a sleeping area for extra guests or back comfortable lounging spot.
The downstairs sauna provides the perfect way to warm up after a swim in the cool river water. And the large two tiered deck with propane grill and dining area is just the place to enjoy some outdoor living.
Located on a quiet street of river homes, the property still lies just 30 minutes from Florida's capital city, so guests can easily enjoy the urban opportunities Tallahassee provides, be that a football game, concert, or fine dining. Even closer, the first magnitude Wakulla Springs State Park, just 20 minutes away, offers riverboat tours, hiking trails, a diving platform, beach, and swimming area, along with a historic/restaurant. To the South a short drive will take you to the coastal towns of St Marks or Shell Point. And don't miss the scenic drive to the St Marks Lighthouse, the second oldest light station in Florida located in the St Marks National Wildlife Refuge. Or asks the owners for some tips on other near by sinkholes and rivers and like the Wacissa and Aucilla.
If you want to enjoy Old Florida riverfront living, this property will set you up for a memory-making vacation lasting for years to come.

Memory maker for sure!

We chose this house to treat our great nieces and nephews ages 5-14. They lost their mother to a car crash last year, and we wanted to give them some summer fun. The house is rustic, as you can see, beds were comfortable and clean, and was the perfect place for our adventure. Kayaking up stream to the head spring is a bit of a challenge, but we saw a manatee, otter, owls, an alligator etc.... The kids loved the small zip line, swing and "monkey bars". They also used the fishing poles and played with their own water guns at the river. Adults can hang out in the screened gazebo to keep eyes on the kids and there is a ton of porch and deck space for entertaining. If that isn't enough fun Jellystone campground is about an hour drive with a great small waterpark for day use! The owners have been great to work with as well. R. Edwards

About the host

Host profile image
My wife and I went to college in FSU and then moved back here in 2004. We have loved raising our three children in the Tallahassee area and exploring how much North Florida holds in store. Though the beach can be fun, I really fell in love with the springs and rivers in the Panhandle. Splash in the cool water on a hot summer days and the myths of the fountain of youth begin to make sense. Having paddled this more secluded river before, we were thrilled a few years ago to buy this property! Now we get to spend more time on the river and share it with others too.
