About this home

Escape to this unique, deep-water property that is lovingly referred to as the “Tree House.” Nestled amongst the large, mossy oaks is a cottage with ample living space, highlighting a wall of windows that overlook the 125 foot river frontage and the 1,236 square feet of tiered deck space that connects to a mobile home for additional guests and living area. This property is ideal for entertaining and fun-filled days and evenings catching the sun rise and set over the all saltwater Juliention River. Walk down to the floating dock for easy kayak or boat access, some fishing or crabbing, or just taking it all in while migratory birds and dolphins can be seen. This lifestyle embodies everything about coastal river living, whether your desire is to live on site fu

This unique deep-water at all tides property is loving referred to as the “Tree House. ” Comprised of a cottage and a separate mobile home, both overlooking the all saltwater Juliention River, this property is ideal for family gatherings and fun.

This property, with its mossed draped live oaks, embodies the essence of spending time at the river. All who come are encouraged to linger outside to look for dolphin or watch migratory birds across the expansive river and marsh. Whether your desire is to live on this property full-time or have a weekend getaway, the Tree House is a lifestyle you'll want to experience.
