Sit on the screened porch or large open deck and watch the Santa Fe River roll by. This totally private getaway is just down river from Rum Island Park, on a area of the river where it's easy and fun to go springs hopping in your canoe or kayak. You can visit Blue Springs State Park, Ginnie Springs, and all the many secret springs that are accessible only from the river. An absolute paradise. The cabin is turn-key and comes furnished, so is ready for you to spend your weekends or make it your permanent home. There is also a huge 30 x 50 metal building, with roll-up doors large enough to park your motor home in, plus have a workshop. A place like this is a once in a lifetime find. Only a few minutes from downtown High Springs, and easy access to I-75 and everywhere. .
