About this property
A SLICE OF "OLD FLORIDA" AMONG GRANDFATHER OAKS.
A meandering drive through 5 acres of tropical flora, large oaks draped with Spanish moss, and the calming sound of water falling into a spring-fed pond are some first impressions of this magical place of vanishing “Old Florida”. The home is reminiscent of a French Colonial tropical home, beautifully appointed with rattan and Tommy Bahama furnishings. A salt-water pool and relaxing hot tub is as refreshing as the nature surrounding you. Top off the day by swimming with the gentle Manatees in the Springs of the Crystal River…. Or you may want to spend the day at nearby Gulf beaches or fish in the many waterways. This area is appropriately named “The Nature Coast” for the many encounters with nature it provides. Plenty of flower and fern gardens are on the property as well as citrus in season. Abundant fresh seafood is a mainstay here, either caught by you or in one of many fine restaurants. Relax in the evening sitting on the front porch and listening to the tropical sounds of nature… imagine yourself in the most exotic place in the world. Perfect romantic getaway or solo retreat!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Joy Keen
We are a blend of Florida pioneer and Tennessee hillbilly! David is a fifth generation Floridian, whose ancestors were true Florida pioneers in the early 1800's, rooted in citrus, cattle and pineapple plantations. Joy's family history began in the hills of East Tennessee. Together we have sought to provide unique properties that evoke these rich heritages for travelers who want to step away from busy lives and decompress in a simple, quiet paradise. In addition to this "Old Florida" home, we have gorgeous place in the Tennessee hills. Check out the Dixie Lee Bed & Barn!
Why they chose this property
This property is simply enchanting! From sitting on the screened-in porch listening to the lull of the waterfall into the lovely spring fed pond, to snuggling in front of a cozy fireplace or soaking in the hot tub under the moss-draped oak trees and vast starry sky, there's simply nothing else like it!
What makes this property unique
We found this property one night on the internet and were amazed at its beauty. We immediately drove across the state the next day, made a cash offer and bought it. We love it so much we want to share it with others who have an appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds this property. The sense of well being it gives our guests makes us happy to share it.
