Property Description

Authentic Florida Cracker-style farmhouse on acreage - your dream home awaits. Nestled on nearly 1.6 private acres among a community of nature-loving neighbors, you and yours may safely roam the rolling country-side without a care besides where the next botanical discovery awaits. Built in 1994, this captivating farmhouse brings you historical features without the aches of an old house. Heart pine boards repurposed from an old Havana tobacco barn were hand-picked for window/door/floor trim, interior doors once swung in a Coolidge brothel, and brass doorknobs first hung in a Chattahoochee sanitarium. You'll notice also authentic art-deco schoolhouse pendant globes suspended from the 19' vaulted ceiling soaring over the living and dining rooms. Ample windows all around allow the original solid red oak flooring to glow in Panhandle sunshine, and an open floor plan downstairs creates an airy spaciousness, in kitchen and beyond (yes, appliances are well-loved, but who wouldn't rather have an old Kenmore than a new Samsung?). Up the stairway custom-built by Woodville artisan Ken Ross, you'll find two nice bedrooms, one a bath suite, both with walk-in closets to augment the plentiful storage spaces throughout. Your easy living extends outdoors as well, where the Cracker architecture offers wrap-around porches, both screened and open-air, and only a short amble along a wooded trail you'll find the community pool and playground for friendly relaxation. The private 1.59 acres lives more like double that and hosts an expansive garden area, plus ample fruit trees that will feed you year-round. Where only a few miles from town feels like worlds away, come and breathe, feel your shoulders drop, and let yourself fall in love <3
