Tucked away on a peaceful freshwater canal with direct access to the majestic St. Johns River, this one-of-a-kind tiny home blends waterfront charm with impressive modern upgrades. Whether you're looking for a weekend retreat, full-time escape, or the ultimate boating lifestyle, this property delivers comfort, convenience, and character in every detail. Step outside to your private waterfront oasis featuring an electric boat hoist, a spacious 22x15 covered boat dock, and an aluminum cradle — ready for endless days on the water. The circular driveway, finished with asphalt millings in 2020, offers easy access and plenty of parking, while the concrete carport and patio added in 2021 create the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining outdoors. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully renovated with quality improvements throughout. In 2020, the home was completely rewired with a 200-amp service, whole-house replumbed, upgraded with smart lighting in the main living area and bedroom, and enhanced with elegant European fixtures. The spa-inspired bath features a stunning freestanding stone composite soaking tub, while the propane tankless water heater ensures efficiency and comfort. Need space for hobbies, guests, or remote work? A beautifully finished 96 sq. ft. office/flex space was added in 2022 complete with A/C, heat mini split, electric fireplace, and stylish Euro window. A 200 sq. ft. shed with electric also provides additional storage or workshop space. This property is future-ready with multiple 50-amp hookups ideal for an RV or EV charging station, including an additional 50-amp service added to the carport in 2023. Recent updates continue with Bahama shutters and a new dryer in 2024, brand-new mini split systems and a new roof in 2025, plus a porch expansion completed in 2026. Rarely does a tiny home have this level of craftsmanship, functionality, and direct river access — all wrapped into one unforgettable property. With no HOA and no rental restrictions, the possibilities here are endless. Perfect as a weekend getaway, full-time waterfront retreat, vacation rental, or income-producing investment property, this unique canal-front escape offers flexibility that’s hard to find. Property has been built up to avoid flooding and home is financeable.
