    What's special

    Quiet waterfront property
    A rare find, a piece of old Florida on the St Johns River, only 25 minutes from St Augustine and its beaches; an unmatched opportunity of nature, seclusion and privacy. This quiet waterfront property boasts new 2024 construction, never occupied, and is situated on 1.4 acres with 139 feet of navigable riverfront. Native Florida fieldstone and cypress wood finishes accent this remarkable custom home and its oversized detached garage that has a second story treetop apartment home. The expansive river view and beautiful sunsets are unparalleled. There is plenty of space yet to be utilized. No HOA and no restrictions on vehicle, boat, RV or trailer parking. Open floor plans with island kitchens. Beautiful Italian quartz tops throughout. Stunning views from master suite, dining, kitchen, and bedroom which all lead to a 12' x 52' covered lanai. Elegant large master bath with polished porcelain tile, etched glass, his and her vanities with backlit mirrors, bidet, w/c, soaker tub and separate oversized shower.
