Description

FANNING SPRINGS GEM! If you are seeking a more peaceful existence, then look no further! This 1.05-acre property has a story book quality about it. When you drive up the driveway, you notice the park like atmosphere as you take in your surroundings. To the left of the driveway, you see the well house, which provides irrigation to all the garden areas, with the exception of the side garden (supplied by metered public water, or from the Rain Barrel). You see the deck extends from the front down the right side of the home, and there is a back patio. You pull around the U-shaped driveway, and notice the GIGANTIC RV Carport, complete with a 40-amp EV charging station. A little further to the right, and you observe the generously sized workshop, and start dreaming of all the projects you can work on. When you enter the home from the front deck, you are instantly drawn in by the expansive vaulted ceiling, and observe the loft, which is accessed by custom paddle steps, installed by the Sellers. Worries of climbing a ladder have been eliminated! When you get to the top of the steps, you are surprised how large of an area it is. The loft is divided into 2 separate areas, divided by side light windows installed by the Sellers. The first section is a private retreat. The 2nd area is being utilized currently as an art studio and has a sliding glass door leading out to the French Balcony, which overlooks the backyard. You are happy to see there is a 1/2 bath in the loft. How convenient! Back downstairs, you see the dining room beyond the living room,with its built in office nook, the Primary Bathroom, the Primary bedroom beyond the dining area, and to the right, the large open and inviting kitchen, with panoramic views of the yard via the newer windows that have been recently replaced. You also appreciate the 2 lower cabinets that have pull outs, providing ease of access to your important kitchen accessories. You are pleased with the stainless-steel appliances, all having been replaced within the last few years, and the built-in shelving near the stove for all your herbs, spices and seasonings. Then you learn all the downstairs flooring has been replaced in the last 4 years. Beyond the amazing kitchen, you have the laundry room/mud room, and a door to the back deck. There is also another entrance from the side porch to the kitchen. Approximately 1/4 of the property is fenced in for animals and plants alike, as there are numerous deer that appear on the property frequently, as well as many other types of wildlife. The fenced in area contains several different varieties of citrus trees which bear fruit. After you're done gardening, rinse off in the outdoor shower. You are happy to hear that there is a water softener, as well as a water filtration system. You can imagine spending chilly evenings sitting by the firepit, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows on sticks over the open fire. By joining the optional $30 a year Suwanee River Springs Association, you gain access to the Suwanee River Springs, a boat launch area, a park with picnic and fishing areas that are not accessible to the Public. 8 miles North of Chiefland, grab this piece of natural Florida while you still have the opportunity!
