Property Description

REEL IN THIS DEAL!! Price Reduced on a Mini Farm with a Stocked Lake! A Little Country Magic-Your Own 2.4-Acre Retreat with a Fully Stocked Fishing Pond. Escape the noise and rediscover the simple pleasures of country living. Peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature, yet just 15 minutes from Downtown Jacksonville, San Marco, shopping, and major hospitals, this charming 1,200-square-foot home offers the best of both worlds-a slower pace of life without giving up the convenience of the city. From the inviting front porch to the thoughtfully designed interior, this home feels warm, comfortable, and welcoming. The spacious family room flows into an updated kitchen with a center island, perfect for morning coffee, casual meals, or gathering with friends. A generous dining room provides plenty of space for memorable dinners and celebrations. The cozy primary suite features a beautifully appointed en-suite bath with a walk-in shower, while the additional bedrooms are comfortably sized and served by an updated hall bath with a tub. The enclosed back porch houses the laundry room and leads to an outdoor oasis complete with a large shaded patio and a refreshing above-ground pool-ideal for relaxing after a day outdoors. For those who love to tinker, create, or need extra space, the detached two-car garage is equipped with power, water, and a workshop, making it perfect for hobbies, equipment, or storage. Then there's the land...and it's something truly special. Cast a line from your private dock into the stocked pond, home to tilapia, bass, warmouth, and bream. Watch wildlife thrive among pesticide-free pastures filled with wildflowers, wild lettuce, elderberry, and native plants that attract butterflies, birds, and pollinators. Bring your bees, start your garden, or simply enjoy the peace and privacy that only country living can provide. The charming chicken coop even comes with its feathered residents, already accustomed to their deluxe accommodations! Whether you're a sportsman looking for your own outdoor paradise, dreaming of a hobby farm, or simply longing for wide-open spaces where life slows down and nature takes center stage, this extraordinary property delivers. Rarely does a place combine charm, functionality, and such a remarkable connection to the outdoors. If you've been searching for a place where rural dreams become reality, you've found it. Welcome home!!
