Nestled under two giant live oaks, on a high bluff, overlooking the beautiful St. Johns River is a small slice of paradise,
Old Florida style.
This traditional board-n-batten cottage has been completely remodeled inside and out, enhancing the natural character
while providing modern creature comforts. With two covered porches, a wood burning stove, metal roof, hardwood floors and
tongue and groove walls it 's hard not to imagine a simpler time. Because we want you to have the best of both worlds,
to this we've added a full kitchen with dishwasher and gas stove, televisions with cable in the living room and each
bedroom, each with combination VCR/DVD player, central heat and air, washer and dryer, and best of all a five person spa on
the outside deck overlooking the river. The first bedroom has a great view of the river and a queen size bed. The
second bedroom has two twins.The kitchen, which features solid hickory cabinets and natural stone countertops, opens into
the living room. In addition, there is a dining table for four adjacent. The cozy living room enjoys the comfort and ambiance
of a wood burning stove as well as a superb view. On the open air deck that is extended from one of the covered
porches sits the spa, firepit, and a Jenn-Air stainless steel gas grill, as well as a dining area for those nights you just
don't want to come inside. Lush eight feet high camelias surround one side enclosing you in privacy. A fence
and old growth azaleas envelop you from the other side. The river side is, of course, open, except for the two large liveoaks,
in order to give you the best view from the river.
The view is to die for! From the vantage point where the cottage sits you are privy to the most glorious sunsets imaginable.
Across the river is the Ocala National Forest, the mouth of the Ocklawaha River, and the Carravelle Management area, so you
are looking at nature not development. And you might even catch a glimpse of our blue heron visitor who keeps watch over our
docks most nights.
