About this property
Family Retreat by the Pond
Welcome to our secluded oasis nestled on a sprawling 5-acre estate, where tranquility meets adventure. Ideally suited for families or groups, our charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home promises a getaway filled with relaxation and outdoor excitement you may never want to leave. If outdoor living is your calling or more room is needed, we offer primitive tent camping; please inquire.
Situated amidst lush greenery, our estate boasts a picturesque, fully stocked 1.6-acre pond. It invites you to indulge in kayaking and fishing adventures right at your doorstep. Imagine spending lazy afternoons on the water, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature.
Our property is a treasure trove of activities for those who crave outdoor adventure. Explore natural surroundings by hiking or getting lost in the beauty of bird watching. After a day of excitement, unwind with a barbecue feast at our large built-in smoker while children swing, play games, and let their imaginations soar. As the sun sets, gather around the campfire for smores and storytelling under the twinkling stars.
Our estate is not only a haven of relaxation and adventure, but also conveniently located. Just a short 20-minute drive from downtown, the Jaguars and Jumbo shrimp stadiums, it's a breeze to catch a game. And with several beaches within a 25-minute drive, you can easily enjoy sun-soaked sands and endless ocean views. Plus, being just 14 minutes from the airport, your travel arrangements are a cinch.
Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat or an active outdoor escape, our estate provides the ideal setting for creating unforgettable memories. Experience the best of both worlds at our inviting home, where relaxation and adventure await.

About the area
Jacksonville
Located on the waterfront, this holiday home is in Northside, a neighbourhood in Jacksonville. Jacksonville Cruise Terminal and Anheuser-Busch Brewery are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those in the mood for shopping can visit River City Market Place and Pecan Park Flea and Farmers' Market. Check out an event or a game at EverBank Stadium, and consider making time for Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, a top attraction not to be missed. Make sure you get close to the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.

About the host
Hosted by Jamie Jarausch

I am from a small town in Indiana. I left for the Military when I was 17 and never looked back. I have traveled the world and raised two amazing boys! My beautiful girlfriend has two great daughters that I consider my own and we love to travel, see shows, and eat delicious food.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is in a small, little, and safe community that reminded me of my home town. ALL the neighbors are super awesome and friendly. The previous owner is a great friend I have known for years; this was where he was born and raised. It is a property that has everything yet close to it all too.
What makes this property unique
5 acres with a stocked 1.6acre pond. Offering outdoor activities for all ages and families. It's like a resort once you enter, you never really have to leave.
