Charming, serene, lakefront sanctuary on spring fed West Lake, 4.07 wooded acres. Centrally located to St. Augustine Beach and Gainesville. Property offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities, such as fishing, canoeing, & swimming. FIVE FREESTANDING BUILDINGS with screened decks and porches accommodate 6 or more residents or serve as art studios or business quarters. 4 full bathrooms, 1 outdoor shower, 2 wells, and a 16,000-gal screened-in SALTWATER POOL and HOT TUB brick paver deck. Acreage is fenced and bamboo-lined on two sides with lakefront comprising a third side. Maintained using organic principles by single owner for 45 years. A 1/2-acre organic vegetable garden, herb beds, and flowering plants thrive along with over 50 mature avocado, citrus, pomegranate, loquat, banana, guava, kiwi, persimmon and other fruit trees that dot the property. Stately Live Oaks, longleaf pines, and flowering trees and plants lovingly tended in mulched beds or on trellises guarantee that something is always in bloom and edible. Statuaries, birdfeeders, and hand-crafted tilework, walkways, wooden flooring and collectables dazzle at every turn in the buildings and along walkways. This is a magical property that has good karma. It is scented with ginger, orange blossom, and jasmine that attract butterflies and wildlife, and would be ideal for community living, retirement, extended family, art studios, AirBnb units, recreation, or a cottage industry.
