This 2018 Jacobson 3/2 home is a perfectly secluded get away, yet within easy access to shopping, services, local outdoor activities and natural attractions via Fort Island Trail. These 4.4 acres are mostly wooded with young and mature oak trees and long leaf pines. The owner created a freshwater pond with bends and deep holes to appear like a lazy river but, its’ real purpose is to serve as a detention basin and floodway to direct flood waters away from the home. Fill from the pond was also used to elevate the home and surrounding land. The floor elevation of the home is 12 feet MSL, in accordance with the latest FEMA guidelines for the current flood zone designation, and floodwaters never reached the home during Hurricane Hermine.
The pond is stocked with minnows, blue gills and largemouth bass, and there are 4 resident ducks, 3 Rouen and 1 Khaki Campbell. There are no residential zoning restrictions on livestock or poultry, you can even bring your horses. There is a 12 ft x 24 ft wood barn with a hay loft and gambrel roof as well as an 8x10 metal storage shed for all your extras. Also included is a 2014 model John Deere 3038E Utility tractor with front-end loader, brush chopper and a back blade to tackle heavy chores. Plenty of room to park a camper or two and multiple cars for all your friends and family. The home has an outdoor spigot which includes hoses. Another outdoor spigot with hoses is located near the barn. The property is fenced and includes a solar-powered swinging gate opener (not installed). All in all this home is a perfect retreat or year-round home.
