About this property
Relax and unwind in this unique waterfront property!
**NO Children under 12 y.o. or pets** No FLAMMABLE materials Storage (gas cans). Picture yourself on a semi-private deck, sipping a cold drink as the sun dips below the horizon and the water gently ripples below—pure serenity. This one-of-a-kind stilt home is a 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath loft tucked within a quiet, charming community of just 15 duplex units.
Inside, you’ll find a cozy loft with a luxurious king bed, plus a pull-out couch on the main floor for additional sleeping space. Step out onto the back deck for peaceful canal views and easy access to the boat dock. A nearby tributary flows into the Salt River and Crystal River, only 2 miles from both the Gulf of Mexico and the natural springs.
Cool off with a dip in the pool just steps away, or enjoy a leisurely walk along the boardwalk that winds through the property, offering a unique nature experience right outside your door. Prefer the beach? A five-minute drive takes you to the public beach, and a public boat ramp is only a mile away.
The home includes convenient amenities like in-unit laundry and a fully stocked kitchen with cookware and small appliances, making it perfect for short getaways or longer stays.
