* * Huge Price Improvement!!! * * Canal-front home on Black Hammock Island situated on a quiet and secluded 1.13-acre lot featuring a sizable pond and scenic water views. Originally a manufactured home, the residence has been bricked in and expanded with a substantial addition featuring its own private entrance, and is now classified as a single-family home. This spacious property offers a large primary suite, a private in-law suite, and three additional guest bedrooms with a shared bathroom, making it ideal for multigenerational living. Enjoy outdoor living with a covered front porch and a side covered porch connecting the main house to the oversized detached garage of nearly 1,000 sq ft. The detached garage was originally designed as a 3.5-car tandem garage, with one bay converted into additional living space that can be used as a flex room and features its own window unit. The garage still offers ample storage space, currently utilized as a laundry room, along with attic storage and an upper-level patio and a large deck overlooking peaceful views. A large deck attached to the garage overlooks the canal and pond, providing the perfect setting for entertaining or relaxing in a peaceful, tranquil environment. The property is in need of repairs and updates and is being sold as-is.
Black Hammock Island, located between the Nassau River and the Fort George River, is a rural and waterfront Jacksonville neighborhood with tidal marsh views and long stretches of two-lane roads. The island’s character concentrates around the Black Hammock Island Road corridor near the boat ramps, where bait shops, docks, and marsh-side pull-offs set a working-waterfront tone. Low-slung homes and older river cottages sit behind palms and pines, with wide yards and big skies. Life here follows the tides—kayaks, skiffs, and fishing gear appear in driveways as often as cars. The landscape reads as Florida backcountry: creeks, oyster beds, and birdlife at the marsh edge. Evenings feel quiet, with dark skies and the sound of wind moving through spartina grass.
