About this property

The Blue Heron - Waterfront, Deep Canal, Dock, Pool, Direct Gulf Access

Welcome to The Blue Heron, a stunning waterfront oasis in the heart of paradise. This gorgeous property offers the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and adventure. Nestled away from the chaos of everyday life, this tranquil home is sure to rejuvenate your mind and spirit with its peaceful waterside setting and Gulf breezes.

Located on a deep-water canal with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, and showcasing the waterfront with extra large sliding glass doors, The Blue Heron boasts breathtaking sunsets and a serene atmosphere that will leave you in awe. Spend your days fishing for sea trout, red drum, flounder, shallow water grouper, snook, cobia, and tarpon. Or try your hand at scalloping and crabbing. Or simply relax and soak in the beauty of the “Salt Life” right from your own backyard.

Even working remotely can prove to be a pleasure, as this private retreat is fully furnished with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, including a dual monitor workstation and high-speed internet.

Inside you will be welcomed into a spacious and luxurious three-bedroom, two-bathroom retreat. With a king bed, queen bed, two double beds, and a sofa sleeper, there's plenty of room for everyone to relax and unwind.

The master suite features a jetted garden soaking tub for the ultimate spa experience, as well as a stunning private tiled shower. Pull open the floor to ceiling "al fresco" sliding glass doors and sleep with the whispering sea breezes or step out into the screened lanai and enjoy that morning coffee with bird song and panoramic views of the pool and water.

Unleash your inner chef in the spacious and fully equipped kitchen and host unforgettable gatherings and shared meals around the elegant dining table, complete with exquisite tableware.

Unwind in the spacious family room with a plush leather reclining sectional, perfect for cozy nights in. Immerse yourself in your favorite entertainment on the massive 75-inch smart television while soaking in breathtaking sunset views.

This home boasts a generous shaded pool patio complete with large outdoor dining and sectional sofa, while the sunny pool overlooks the serene waters and breathtaking Gulf sunsets. Challenge your loved ones to a game of Corn Hole (regulation size) or try your skills at the giant outdoor Jenga set. A gas grill is available for your enjoyment as you soak up the Florida sunshine. The privacy fence surrounding the yard and pool ensures that you can unwind in peace and seclusion.

The dock is perfect for fishing or dropping a crab basket. Keep your eyes peeled for local visitors like manatees, dolphins, stingrays, and sea turtles right in your backyard.

Feeling adventurous and wishing to experience the Nature Coast by water? Bring your own vessel or rent one from one of the nearby marinas. Whether you're going out on a fishing charter, cruising, jet skiing, sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, or simply relaxing with a cold beverage and partying on the flats with the other boaters, this is truly a water lover’s dream come true.

The Blue Heron is conveniently located minutes away from various attractions including pristine beaches, and the crystal-clear waters of the Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. Explore charming shops or indulge in the tastings at local wineries and nearby breweries. Treat yourself to delicious cuisine at restaurants just a short drive away from your tranquil retreat or go spend the day on the golf course and return to cook up a feast with fresh ingredients from the local produce and fish markets.

Looking for live music and a cold beverage, there are many local establishments, reachable by either water and road, where you can find local musicians playing the afternoon and evening hours away.
