About this property
Bring your boats and don't miss the chance to own this delightful 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage, nestled in the heart of Panacea. This custom-built home offers a metal roof, two newly installed decks, new privacy fence, new water heater, and durable hurricane shutters. Set amidst a serene hardwood hammock at the edge of Lake Essay, the property is fenced, creating the perfect retreat for both you and your pets. The lush landscape features 30 mature specimen trees and abundant wildlife, providing an enchanting backdrop. Inside, the home boasts a vintage-inspired charm with modern updates, an open floor plan, and a fully furnished, cozy ambiance. Relax in the inviting outdoor space, where you can savor peaceful mornings on the deck, listening to the soothing sounds of nature. The built-in Weber kettle grill with counter space on the back deck ensures effortless grilling for outdoor dining. Located within the St. Marks Nature Preserve, this home offers a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, with easy access to fishing, birdwatching, boating, kayaking, and miles of scenic nature trails. The property is spacious for parking boats, trailers, or RV's to meet your outdoor needs. For kayaking lovers, a launch site is only 5 min. away. Whether you're looking for privacy, natural beauty, or proximity to the Gulf Coast, this property is ideally situated. The Panacea area was a renowned health resort enclave centered around mineral springs in the early 1900's and still enjoys quick access to pristine Gulf beaches, fresh seafood restaurants, marinas, the Gulf Coast Aquarium, a fishing pier, and miles of picturesque walking and biking trails. This charming cottage is perfect for retirees seeking a peaceful sanctuary, snowbirds looking for a seasonal retreat, or even as a rental property to generate income. It delivers the ideal combination of tranquility and convenience, offering the best of laid-back Florida living. Situated along the Great Florida Birding Trail, many species of birds can be viewed right from this private oasis. Being sold as is with the right to inspect.
