Santa Fe River Retreat. Want to get away from it all? This is the place if you like the idea of being at the end of a private road which passes through beautiful forest and pastures, far from traffic sounds, on your own 12 acre park-like property with 593 feet along the river and a wood deck and dock from which to enjoy the water. The home is at the end of a 1000 foot long driveway which winds along ancient forest on the left and open pasture with scattered granddaddy live oaks on the right. The great room and kitchen overlook a long sun room with views of the river and doors to a wood deck also accessed from the master suite. Features include a stone-faced gas fireplace in the great room, stainless steel gas range and refrigerator, and granite counters in the kitchen. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a bath, and a balcony overlooking the great room. The master suite is downstairs off the great room. The lower level is a 2-car garage with ample storage space. An elaborate wood deck and stair system gives outside access to all rooms of the house. Located 11 miles NW of High Springs. New roof shingles June 2018.
