Step back in time at this classic Old Florida river cabin nestled along the world-famous Ichetucknee River with its own private dock. Fed by crystal-clear natural springs that begin in Ichetucknee Springs State Park, the river flows into the Santa Fe and Suwannee Rivers before reaching the Gulf—creating one of Florida’s most pristine and scenic waterways.
Spend your days kayaking, floating, or fishing right from the property as you explore miles of untouched natural beauty. The river is teeming with wildlife—watch manatees, fish, otters, birds, and turtles glide through the clear waters. After a day on the river, clean your fresh catch at the on-site fish cleaning station or simply relax and soak in the peaceful surroundings.
The main living space is located on the second floor and features three bedrooms and one full bath, along with a large screened-in porch offering plenty of seating. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee, read a book, listen to the river flow, or watch local wildlife at play.
Downstairs, guests will find a second full outdoor bathroom and a spacious screened recreation area complete with a ping-pong table, comfortable seating, and ample storage. The outdoor grilling and serving area with sink makes family cookouts and evenings by the river easy and enjoyable.
This is a rare opportunity to experience your own slice of Old Florida riverfront paradise—peaceful, natural, and unforgettable. Conveniently located near Fort White, Branford, High Springs, and Gainesville, you’re just a short drive from shopping, dining, attractions, and small-town historic charm while still feeling a world away.
