The Story Behind the River House
Rob and Mike originally purchased the River House as a peaceful getaway — drawn to the beauty of the Withlacoochee River, the surrounding forest, and the nearby Rails to Trails bike path. At first, they visited just once a month, but it didn’t take long to fall in love with the area and everything it had to offer.
A few years later, they began searching for a permanent home nearby that could support their growing love of animals. They found the perfect spot: a 60-acre ranch in Sumter County, not far from the River House. Today, at Lucky U Ranch they raise goats, horses, chickens, donkeys, and cattle — living their dream on their own slice of heaven.
Although they’ve settled into ranch life, Rob and Mike couldn’t bear to part with the River House completely. Instead, they chose to share it with others by offering it as a vacation rental — so travelers can experience the same peace, beauty, and adventure that first drew them in.

Why they chose this property
Why the River House?
Picking out the River House was easy. The very first time Rob and Mike saw the property, they knew — and they wrote an offer on the spot. It was just that simple.
Where else can you find a house on stilts that makes you feel like you’re living in a treehouse, perched right above Florida’s most scenic river? The views, the breeze, the sense of peace — it all came together in one unforgettable place.

What makes this property unique
A Trail, a River, and a View You’ll Never Forget
The River House property features a winding trail that loops through native woods, shaded almost entirely by native oak trees. As you stroll, you might spot gopher tortoises peeking out from the brush — curious and calm, like longtime residents of this peaceful haven.
The trail leads you toward the river, where two decks offer stunning views of the Withlacoochee — Florida’s most scenic waterway. One deck sits right at the river’s edge, perfect for morning coffee, sunset watching, or simply soaking in the quiet flow of nature. There’s also a dock where you can launch the two kayaks or the three-person canoe for an adventure downstream.
Whether you’re walking beneath the oaks, paddling through cypress reflections, or sitting by the fire pit under the stars, the property has a mystical, grounding feel that’s hard to put into words — but easy to fall in love with.
