This Retreat sits directly on the Suwannee River and is your getaway to Nature | House in Chiefland
4 Bedroom House in Chiefland
Great new deck structure on river boat house! The best room on the Suwannee. Sit high above the river with a line dropped in or a book in hand and watch the water flow below.
Go back in time to a place on the Suwannee that is reminiscent of the 50s.
A quiet retreat where nature, the river and fishing is right out your back door.
A beautiful private dock to lounge on or fish from, as well as a sloped beach which is perfect for your kayaks/canoes, with a tie up for larger boats, and a floating dock and easy river access. A free county boat ramp is just a few houses down. The property is approximately 28 minutes by boat to the Gulf of Mexico for salt water enthusiasts. This is a perfect location for those who are serious fishermen or kayak paddlers. Our neighborhood is a peaceful, relaxing and safe one. Wildlife co-exist with deer and local birds frequenting the premises.
Our single-dwelling home will sleep seven easily and has a nice yard to relax and picnic in. The fire pit and grill are available for cooking up your daily catch or a nice steak. The dishwasher works great inside so you will not have to deal with daily chores. A collection of over 400 books are in the library for the evenings when your day events are done, and internet is available. The bedding is super comfortable and we take pride in keeping the home immaculately clean.
The property is 4.9 miles from Manatee State Park -- a perfect swimming hole in the summer and with wintering manatees to view. It is a 27-minute drive to historic Cedar Key on the Gulf of Mexico, and a 20-minute drive to Shell Mound known as a kayakers playground. It is an interesting historical site you won't want to miss! If you like to hike, just walk out the front door as we are near the brush trails of both the State Park and Florida Water Management Preserve. We are also only 10 miles from the Lower Suwannee Refuge, great for biking or hiking, and also just a short drive to Gulf Hammock area which is a hunter's paradise. Bring your bicycles and enjoy the beautiful and mostly shaded Nature Coast Rail Trail which can be accessed in nearby Chiefland.
The town of Chiefland is 10 minutes from the house and has a variety of restaurants, antique stores, shops and groceries. Other areas to explore are Fanning Springs, Old Town, Suwannee (the town), Crystal River, as well as many nature parks nearby. Gainesville and Ocala are roughly one hour away if you want more metro activities. If you don’t own a boat/kayak/canoe/bike, there are plenty of charter and rental companies in the area.
This area of the Suwannee is what Ol' Florida used to be -- a place to get away and just relax, fish, bike, kayak, get back to nature. We look forward to hosting you and if you have any questions we are right next door.
