Description

A rare opportunity to own nearly half a mile of pristine Suwannee River frontage across approximately 36.9 acres in North Florida. Formerly known as the iconic Bob's River Place, this one-of-a-kind property has been recognized as one of Florida's hidden gems and has a decades-long history as a destination for outdoor recreation and riverfront gatherings.The property features approximately 2,017 feet, over a half mile, of river frontage with a natural beach area along one of the most beautiful and clean stretches of the Suwannee River. For years, visitors traveled from across the state to experience the unique setting and water activities offered here.The site includes a 2,444-square-foot elevated cabin-style home with panoramic river views, vaulted ceilings, a large fireplace, and expansive windows that capture the surrounding natural landscape. With its wraparound porch and elevated design, the home offers a peaceful treehouse-style setting overlooking the river and could serve as a private residence, lodge, amenity center, or gift shop.Multiple structures and improvements remain across the property including pavilions, gathering areas, restroom facilities, a pole barn, stage area, and recreational spaces that previously supported concerts, weddings, retreats, and seasonal events. Two local boat ramps provide convenient river access, including one across the river and another nearby across the road.Although currently zoned residential, the property has historically operated as a successful recreational park and offers exceptional potential for redevelopment as an event venue, campground, outdoor recreation destination, or private riverfront retreat. County guidance has previously indicated the potential for up to approximately 100 RV sites with the appropriate approvals. Utilities include electric service, well water, septic systems, fiber optic internet availability, and underground plumbing throughout the property. The landscape offers a beautiful mix of sun and shade with mature trees, open gathering areas, and scenic river views.Located in the heart of Florida's world-famous spring region, the property sits near Ginnie Springs, Gilchrist Blue Springs, Poe Springs, and Rock Bluff Springs.
