Tucked away on approximately 1.25 wooded acres in the private Deer Lake Retreat community, this charming lakefront cabin offers the kind of peaceful setting that feels like a true escape. Surrounded by mature trees and overlooking beautiful Deer Lake, the property combines waterfront living, privacy, and all the relaxed character of a classic cabin in the woods. The main level features an open living, dining, and kitchen area with a gas stove and easy access to the outdoor deck, creating a comfortable flow for everyday living and entertaining. A cozy first-floor bunk room adds flexible sleeping space, while the upper level offers a spacious bedroom and bath along with a private balcony overlooking the lake and surrounding woods. Outdoor living is at the heart of this property, with multiple deck spaces, a private pier, a fire pit area, and a covered gathering space nestled beneath the trees. A detached outbuilding with bath and laundry adds extra functionality, while the 12x20 storage shed provides plenty of room for lake gear, tools, hobbies and more. Both the laundry/bath outbuilding and storage shed are equipped with water and electricity, adding even more versatility to these spaces. Recent improvements include a new roof, water pump, and downstairs mini-split HVAC system completed in 2021–2022. Additional updates completed in 2026 include fresh interior paint upstairs and downstairs, new flooring in both bedrooms, bathroom, closet, and new cabinet hardware. Deer Lake Retreat offers a quiet, private-road setting surrounded by the natural beauty of Northwest Florida, a wonderful place to trade the noise of everyday life for peaceful mornings by the water and evenings beneath the trees. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a weekend lake getaway, this one-of-a-kind property offers 1.25 wooded acres, your own private pier, and the laid-back lakefront lifestyle you've been looking for. Conveniently located less than 45 minutes from Novelis Facility.

AGR
Agricultural District
The agricultural (Agr) district establishes appropriate areas and land use regulations for the routine agricultural production of plants and animals, and such related uses as silviculture and aquaculture. The primary intent of the district is to avoid the loss of prime farmland to other uses, its division into smaller parcels of multiple owners, and other obstacles to maintaining or assembling sufficient agricultural acreage for efficient large-scale farming. Other than agricultural production, non-residential uses within the agricultural district are generally limited to rural community uses that directly support agriculture, and to public facilities and services necessary for the basic health, safety, and welfare of a rural population. The absence of urban or suburban infrastructure is intentional. Residential uses within the district are largely self-sustaining, consistent with rural land use and limited infrastructure. Single-family dwellings are allowed at a very low density sufficient for the needs of the district's farm-based population.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Equestrian facility
Greenhouse / nursery
Livestock production
Housing-Single unit
Industrial
Kennel
Veterinary clinic
