About this property

The Tipsy Turtle located on Ichetucknee River!

Step back in time to this beautiful old Florida river cabin on the world famous Ichetucknee River! This is a crystal clear spring fed river that starts at the head springs in Ichetucknee State Park and flows into the Santa Fe River, then flows into the Suwanne River and then on down to the gulf. Spend the day kayaking up or down the rivers exploring and experiencing all of the beautiful wildlife and nature this area has to offer. Observe the manatees, fish, and otters swimming and playing throughout the river. Take a nice float down the river or catch some fresh fish and clean at your own cleaning station.

This very cozy, yet spacious living area, is located on the second floor and consists of 3/1 upstairs and has a large screened in porch with lots of seating for entertaining or is a great place to relax, read a book, listen to the river flow, or watch the birds and squirrels play. The first floor offers a second full bath, screened in recreation area with ping pong table, lots of seating, table, plenty of storage, and a grilling and serving area with sink area for those family cookouts.

This is a rare opportunity to visit your own slice of old Florida heaven! Property is located close to Fort White, Branford, High Springs, and Gainesville for all your shopping, restaurants, entertainment and small town historic charm.
