A rare and unusual opportunity to own a piece of history with beautiful water views in a central, yet very private, Jacksonville location. The property, located on over four acres, exudes Old Florida with a long dirt road entry, oak trees, and wildlife. You may even startle a deer as you drive in through the heavily wooded entry.
This historic waterfront home, built-in 1902 in Avondale and later floated down the St Johns River to the Intracoastal Waterway, holds character and craftsmanship unseen in today’s homes. The cedar shake exterior has been newly stained and the roof recently replaced. The interior of the house is richly finished with curly pine and coffered ceilings with a variety of distinctive decorative patterns. Eight fireplaces radiate the warmth and hospitality felt throughout the property. Four generous bedrooms open up to a wide hallway which ends in one direction with a glassed-in sleeping porch. The gracious wraparound porch with a painted blue ceiling, a southern staple, is the ideal spot to watch the boats go by.
Stroll down the large green lawn past the border of seagrass to a new and finely built dock with two boat lifts to enjoy life on the water. The property has 139 feet of waterfront footage with Eastern exposure and overlooks one of the widest sections of the Intracoastal.
In addition to all the priceless ambiance and charm of the property, the home is just 5-minutes to the Mayo Clinic, 10-minutes to the 5-diamond Ponte Vedra Inn & Club and is zoned for top-rated Ponte Vedra Beach Schools even though it is a Jacksonville street address.
Address: 5385 Dixie Landing Dr., Jacksonville, FL 32224
Price: $3.2M
