About this property

Discover the charm of true Florida waterfront living at this adorable riverfront cottage, where character, nature, and an incredible waterfront setting come together. This special property sits directly on the river with two private docks, natural mangroves, and a natural riprap seawall, creating a peaceful and picturesque shoreline that flows seamlessly into the river.

The charming cottage has lovingly maintained its original character and offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the laid-back lifestyle of Old Florida. Mature oak trees provide shade and beauty, while the expansive grounds offer plenty of room to spread out, entertain, park an RV, or accommodate a large boat.

Step outside and let the river become your backyard. Spend your days boating, fishing, relaxing on the docks, or simply taking in the ever-changing waterfront views. As evening arrives, watch manatees and playful porpoises make their way through the river while the sun sets over the beautiful mangrove vista, painting the sky in unforgettable colors.

A truly special waterfront retreat—where the charm of a classic Florida cottage meets the beauty and adventure of direct riverfront living.
