Log Ranch House | 246 Acres | River | Horses | 12

Wake to birdsong on a wraparound porch while the horses graze below. River & Roots Ranch is a 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom full-log homestead on 246 private acres along the St. Marys River in Northeast Florida — soaring stone fireplace, gas-range chef`s kitchen, master soaking tub, sleeps 12. Step off the porch: resident horses, a stocked catch-and-release fishing pond with gear, miles of old-growth trails, a fire pit, and 1.2 miles of pristine blackwater river teeming with bass, bream, and wildlife.
You`ll be staying on a working ranch, so please treat the home, the land, and the animals with care and respect.
