Property Description

A truly unique opportunity to own a piece of North Florida history! Built in 1896, this approximately 130-year-old farmhouse was originally the homestead for a 500-acre farm, with approximately 13 acres remaining with the property today. Rich with history and original character, the home retains its original wood walls, ceilings, and architectural details throughout, offering a glimpse into a much different era of Florida living. Even the original Aermotor Chicago windmill remains on the property, once serving as the working windmill for the farm's well. The original portion of the home includes a foyer, living/dining area, kitchen, one bedroom and one bathroom. Two additional bedrooms were added in the 1920s and are accessed separately from the exterior porch, adding to the home's historic and unusual layout. The original cooking area was located off the back of the home, where the bathroom is now, rather than inside the main living quarters due to Florida's heat. The kitchen was later relocated inside the home. No central a/c there is window units in bedrooms. The current owners have owned the property since the 1980s and over the years have planted an abundance of vegetation designed to attract butterflies and hummingbirds, creating a beautiful natural setting around the old farmhouse. The property also features an additional well and septic system where a mobile home was previously located. The acreage currently consists of two parcels, and according to information provided by the county, with appropriate survey work, the second parcel would be a buildable parcel also. Buyer to independently verify all subdivision, zoning and building requirements with the appropriate governmental agencies. The home is a restoration project and is being sold in its current condition. Repairs needed include, but are not limited to, rebuilding portions of the porches, addressing wood rot around the home, and repairing areas of soft flooring, primarily in the bathroom. As with many historic wood homes in Florida, continued maintenance is necessary. The roof is approximately 10 years old, the electrical system has been updated, and portions of the plumbing have also been replaced. For someone who appreciates old homes, this is an incredibly special property with character that simply cannot be recreated. Restore it as a private country retreat, preserve a piece of local history, or explore its potential as a distinctive vacation rental/Airbnb near the rivers and springs of North Florida. CASH ONLY. PROOF OF FUNDS REQUIRED PRIOR TO SHOWING. Property is being sold as-is.
