Property Description

“River Time” will be your new motto after you move into this fantastic Santa Fe River front home located just over the Alachua County line in the lower-taxed Gilchrist County. Use it as a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, an investment property or an AirBnB…Regardless of how you use this house, being on “river time” will encourage that slower pace of life that you're looking for. Situated on a county-maintained blacktop road, this 5-acre home has its own private gated driveway. The lime rock and pea gravel driveway meanders from its front entrance, past the property's two storage buildings, past the man-cave/she shed with Hughesnet for internet and an attached screen-enclosed patio with a hot tub, and finally toward the home near the bank of the Santa Fe River. Fully fenced on three sides, this home is elevated 18 ft above ground, commanding serene views of the property toward the front and rear yard, and the riverfront. The home's concrete pad is your party place to be complete with drive-through access for your golf cart. Pass the time sitting at the custom-made bar or in the Adirondack chairs streaming the Gator Spring sports teams with CFEC (Central FL Electric Coop) fiber optic service, or entertain friends and family with a game of darts, corn hole or pool. This home has a front staircase that leads to an open-air deck complete with a custom “elevator” on the exterior of the home for groceries and suitcases. The interior of the home features new neutral tile flooring in the foyer that connects it with the laundry room on the left and the kitchen down the hall. The kitchen has been smartly updated with pretty granite counters and newer appliances. Its angled countertop return offers casual seating options in addition to the dining area. The entire second-level living space has a vaulted A-frame ceiling giving this home its voluminous feel. The family room features immaculately kept wood flooring and a natural wood-burning fireplace with river views flanking each side. The master bedroom wing features its own private access to the rear lanai, an en suite bath complete with a pocket door separating the vanity from the water closet and step-in shower. In addition, there is a walk-in closet. The guest room can be accessed in two ways: first, off the family room via the double pocket door, or off the foyer in the guest hallway. Close off the pocket doors for a private guest room or home office, or keep the doors open for use as a flex room or home gym. The en suite guest bathroom has a single sink vanity and a water closet/tub shower combo that can be closed off via its pocket door. The river lifestyle is easy to appreciate while sitting on the A-framed designed, screen-enclosed rear lanai. Spanning the width of the home, there is room for a secondary dining space, a lounge area, and another sitting area just outside the master sliding glass doors. Use the split rear staircase for easy access to the rear yard. Complete with a newer $15,000 floating 8x16 ft dock, this home's river views are summed up in one word: SPECTACULAR. Watch kayakers, Johnny boat fishermen, and people tubing down the river passing by your private dock. Canoe and kayak rentals are a short pontoon ride up river. If floating is your pastime, drive 5 miles to Ginnie Springs and float 2.5 hours downstream toward your home. Instantly relieve your workweek stress with its stunning views and peaceful environment. Don't miss out on this summer's fun!
