Property Description

This is Weeki Wachee waterfront living at its best! Set along a wide canal just a quarter-mile boat ride from the crystal-clear, spring-fed Weeki Wachee River, this elevated three-story home puts one of Florida’s most iconic waterways right in your backyard. From your own dock, head out for a day of boating, kayaking, fishing, swimming, or watching for manatees. Continue down the Weeki Wachee River and you can reach the Gulf in approximately 25 minutes by boat at idle speed. Situated on a corner lot with approximately 160 feet of water frontage, the property enjoys expansive canal views and plenty of room along the water. There are two boat docks, a stationary dock and a newer floating dock, taking full advantage of everything this location has to offer. The three-story home was designed to embrace its waterfront setting while offering approximately 2,160 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Unlike many elevated waterfront homes, getting between floors is easy thanks to a fully functional elevator, which was recently serviced and provides convenient access throughout the home. The layout offers an impressive amount of flexibility, with two separate living areas and what essentially functions as two primary suites, one on the second floor and another on the third. Each primary suite features its own en-suite bathroom and massive walk-in closet, creating two spacious and private retreats on separate levels. The large open kitchen anchors the main living level, while the additional living space upstairs gives everyone room to spread out. Multiple balconies provide beautiful waterfront views and places to sit outside and enjoy the surroundings. The interior has been freshly painted, with a newer oven, brand-new dishwasher, and BRAND NEW A/C system among the recent updates. The elevated construction creates approximately 1,320 square feet of covered space beneath the home, currently set up as an awesome waterfront hangout. Just outside, an outdoor fireplace overlooking the water creates another spot to gather and enjoy the scenery. The fully fenced yard adds usable outdoor space around the home, while the designer rock driveway and freshly mulched landscaping complement the setting. A storage shed also stays with the property. The home is being offered FULLY FURNISHED. With the waterfront setup already in place, this is a truly turnkey opportunity to start enjoying the Weeki Wachee lifestyle from day one. SHORT-TERM RENTALS are allowed, adding another layer of flexibility for an owner looking to use the property as a full-time residence, vacation home, or income-producing rental. Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is also nearby, home to the world-famous mermaid shows, crystal-clear spring water, Buccaneer Bay, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Head toward the coast for days at Pine Island Beach, or spend your time exploring the boating, fishing, scalloping, paddling, and outdoor recreation that make Florida’s Nature Coast such a special place to call home. For someone who wants the complete waterfront package, a 2019 Carolina Skiff with a Suzuki 60 HP motor and trailer to haul it can be purchased separately for $12,990. With approximately 160 feet of water frontage, two docks, direct boating access to the Weeki Wachee River and Gulf, a private elevator, and extensive covered outdoor space, this is a waterfront lifestyle that is rare to find.
