Canal-Front & Unfiltered: 1.03 Acres of Waterfront Freedom with Zero HOA

Gate Open. River Ready. No Rules Attached.
Direct canal access to the St. Johns River and Lake Washington sets the tone for this unapologetically bold 1.03-acre property—no HOA, no limits, just wide-open opportunity. A 2024 electric gate system marks the entrance, opening to a fully fenced expanse framed by fresh landscaping and sweeping green space that stretches toward the water. The scale is immediate and undeniable. A 2025 airboat ramp delivers direct launch capability for life on the river, while storm shutters and a whole-house generator outlet reinforce the home’s readiness. This is navigable canal living with reach, range, and attitude.

Living with Presence: Fireplace Warmth & Elevated Finishes
Inside, tile flooring runs throughout, creating seamless continuity underfoot and a clean architectural foundation from room to room. Crown molding traces the ceilings with subtle refinement, while a wood-burning fireplace commands attention in the main living area, grounding the space with texture and warmth. The layout transitions effortlessly into the kitchen, where granite countertops bring durability and natural character. A built-in coffee bar introduces a dedicated daily ritual space—functional, intentional, and full of personality. New 2024 appliances with transferable warranty elevate performance, and the overall flow balances openness with defined purpose. Tucked within the home, a secret room adds a layer of intrigue, offering flexible use for storage, creativity, or privacy.

Restful Quarters with Light & Flexibility
The bedrooms continue the cohesive design language with tile flooring and crown molding throughout, reinforcing the home’s polished yet practical aesthetic. Generous windows draw in natural light, giving each space an airy, breathable quality that feels calm and grounded. The primary suite offers a spacious layout with versatility for rest and retreat, while additional bedrooms adapt easily for guests, work, or hobbies. The consistency in finish creates unity, while the layout allows each room to function independently without feeling disconnected.

Bath Design with Coastal Edge
The bathroom delivers clean lines and crisp finishes anchored by a marble-topped vanity that stretches wide beneath a statement round mirror. Updated fixtures complement the space, while the tiled shower with glass enclosure enhances both visual openness and everyday functionality. The layout maximizes surface area and storage, blending practicality with subtle refinement. The materials feel timeless, tying naturally into the waterfront setting beyond the walls.

Utility, Function & Hidden Workhorse Spaces
The laundry room is thoughtfully built out with extensive cabinetry, creating a storage-forward workspace designed for efficiency. New appliances with transferable warranty reinforce reliability, while durable flooring ensures longevity. The organization potential here is significant, keeping daily operations streamlined and out of sight. A new 2024 garage door opener adds another layer of practical upgrade, rounding out a home that prioritizes both comfort and capability.

Backyard Built for Action
The backyard commands attention with a saltwater pool that curves across an expansive paver deck, paired with a raised hot tub featuring a brand-new 2025 heater. The screened patio extends the living space outward, offering a shaded transition zone ideal for entertaining or unwinding. Updated pool and sprinkler pumps from 2023 keep systems operating smoothly. Beyond the pool, the land opens wide—usable, unrestricted, and primed for possibility. A brand-new 2024 shed with electric provides dedicated powered storage, while the pole barn introduces covered space for larger equipment or recreational vehicles. A chicken coop supports homesteading ambitions, blending lifestyle flexibility with functional infrastructure. Every element reinforces that this acreage is meant to be lived on, used fully, and enjoyed without limitation.

Water Access Without Limits
The navigable canal delivers direct connection to the St. Johns River and Lake Washington, expanding your backyard into miles of open water. The 2025 airboat ramp transforms access into action, making spontaneous river days effortless.
