Suwannee River, Cracker Homestead

A Cracker Homestead With Over a Mile on the Suwannee River Located in the Middle of one of the Largest Spring Groups! What Everyone (including the State!) Dreams of Owning.

Broker's Opinion

This is one of most idyllic places we have seen in decades. Despite how proud we are to have the opportunity to represent this property, it is actually quite surprising it is not a state park. If it were, there is no doubt it would be one of Florida's favorites! This unique property would be snapped up by the state and unavailable like a large percentage of the land on the river already is!

Even we land experts didn't think a place like this still existed in North Florida. If you like Old Florida the way it was with unspoiled rivers and park-like views, moss draped live oaks, no neighbors, wildlife everywhere, and authentic Cracker Architecture, then you will be overjoyed to see this property. For the last 20 years this unique property has been protected and preserved by the same owner and they are now placing it on the market for a new family to enjoy. Suwannee River Cracker Homestead is one of those few places completely surrounded by state parks and where not even one other home, dock, or any structure can be seen!

This 160+ acres is one of the most coveted privately owned parcels on the 246 mile Suwannee River. The hand-hewn and authentic cypress cabins look like they are out of a movie set from The Yearling and represent everything right about Florida's Cracker style architecture. After our first trip to this property, we tried to justify basing our entire operation from there. If you appreciate real Florida, wildlife, rivers, springs, and no neighbors but don't want to spend over $10M+ for a plantation, this property is ideal. This place can be bought fully furnished with antiques, six cypress cabins, barns, arbor and equipment. In addition, there is no conservation easement on the property and the SRWMD is very interested in purchasing an easement for fee or many of the conservation groups would gladly take a donated easement which, either way, would greatly reduce the net cost.

If you like Old Florida with moss draped live oaks, park-like land with flowing rivers, no neighbors, and don't want to break the bank, this property is a must see.
