About this property

Beautiful Property On The Santa Fe River

This is the perfect retreat away! The home has two bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath, an open concept living area, 1200sq ft that has been newly renovated with new flooring, paint, furniture, linens and a chlorination system. The large deck offers beautiful views of the river, a picnic table and a family sized grill. The back yard features a tree shaded dock with plenty of room to spread out and relax. Home is conveniently located just a short 30 minute drive to Gainesville.

The house is furnished, including all the necessary appliances, a 40" HD T.V. with Amazon FireStick, WiFi and a DVD player in the living area. The Amazon FireStick allows you access HBO, Sirius Xm, and Amazon Prime video for free movies and shows as well as your Netflix account if you have one. There is also a small T.V./DVD combo in one bedroom. Television channels are local over the air HD.

There are two kayaks and tubes available for use and stairs on the dock for easy river access. The river varies in color from clear to tea colored and is shallow enough to wade into. There are many convenient access points to the river for tubing or kayaking and ending up right back at the house. There is a public boat ramp a short walk from the property, and plenty of room to park an average sized boat under the house.

Fort White is 4 miles away, and provides basic amenities such as grocery shopping, gas stations, and places to eat. High Springs is around 10 miles away and has a scenic downtown area with diners, antique and specialty shops, ice cream parlors, and a movie theatre. Gainesville is a 30 mile drive, perfect for a day trip. There are several springs and parks in the immediate area, including Blue Springs and Ichetucknee State Park. If tubing is your thing, their is a 45 minute tube trip straight from the dock to a small park nearby or a several hour trip if you let in at Rum Island, which leads you right back to the house.

The average winter temperature is in the mid to upper sixties, with a typical day being warm and sunny. The water temperature is 74 degrees year-round, perfect for swimming on relaxing summer days. The house includes a new air conditioning system that can be independently controlled in each bedroom and the living area by wireless remote to suit each occupants' individual needs.

Please note: Because we are located on a river we only have access to well water. A chlorination system has been installed to produce clean and clear water which is perfectly fine to shower, bathe, wash dishes and clothing in but not necessarily the best for drinking. For this reason we include gallons of water for drinking and cooking. The homeowner lives right around the corner and will be available by phone if there are any questions or concerns. Pets are allowed for a fee.

Cozy river retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our month long stay escaping from the cold rain and wind up north. Very quiet and peaceful most days but weekends did see an uptick in boat/jet ski traffic. We found lot's to do: tubing and paddleboarding on the Santa Fe, swimming and exploring the many gorgeous springs along the river or a short drive away, hiking in the nearby River Rise SP etc. Not a lot of good restaurants nearby, but we still managed to eat well. The Friday farmers market in High Spring provided us with lot's of delicious local veggies, greens, berries etc., as well as baked goods, local seafood and meats. There is also a cute food truck court in Fort White though we preferred the Cuban food truck who set up a few blocks away. The kitchen was large and well organized and things like baggies, foil, paper products etc. were thoughtfully provided. They even had toys for our pup. Loved it and hope to stay here again.

River Thanksgiving
We enjoyed our stay at the property. Was near a family home for Thanksgiving. It was really great to have a second kitchen for the days meal and another tv for football watching. Thanks again!

Back on the river
Property’s kitchen was very well stocked, clean and well organized. Many games for kids. And I was able to play Packman for the first time in 58 years. The last time was at Pizza Hut on a date. I do have a couple of suggestions. We could not use the barbecue because it was full of roaches and they’re leavings. It would be good to clean it out after every stay. the house would benefit from a good power wash as would the canoes and life vests. Looks like repairs of the deck and landing are underway. I really appreciated the air conditioning and the layout of the house. I did ask to use the washing machine and was told the is for people staying more than three days. That would be a factor in my decision in the future since you cannot be on the river and not have wet clothes and towels. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation it might be a good idea to check the batteries in the remotes. My granddaughter had a blast with the Legos so we didn’t miss TV too much. Many thoughtful amenities such as snack bars, paper goods, water, condiments, etc. were appreciated. Lots of towels provided!

Wonderful and cozy
Absolutely gorgeous property! This property is very cozy and has everything you need to have a great stay. Plenty to do even if it rains. My kids loved the archade game! Plenty of room to spread out and do different things. Love having access to the river from the back yard deck. Quiet and peaceful to get away from the hustle of everyday life. Can't wait to come and stay again.
