Old FL charm and classic elegance abound in this extraordinary almost 8 acre refuge on the west shore of Alligator Lake. The majestic, cathedral like beauty of this natural sanctuary is perfectly punctuated by the towering pines, moss-draped oaks and statuesque cypress trees lining the shore. Nestled on a high bluff among the long-established southern gardens of boxwoods, hollies, camellias, azaleas, dogwoods and antique roses is a timeless classic home boasting southern vernacular architectural traditions with dramatic lake views. The heirloom native woods of cherry, live oak, juniper and cypress from the family saw mill in the FL Panhandle were handcrafted by a local cabinet maker paying homage to the past and accentuating the warm rich hues and soft honey tones throughout. The heart pine hearth and mantel hand carved from old-growth long leaf pine logs recovered from the Suwannee River adds a quintessential southern twist. Only 5 minutes to downtown Lake City, 40 minutes to Gainesville and 1 hour to Jacksonville, your lake side refuge awaits. Truly exquisite. Nothing else compares.
