PRIME location!Waterfront River House w dock/lift
Welcome to Your Unforgettable Old Florida Escape on the Homosassa River
Where slow mornings, shimmering water views, incredible outdoor adventures, and laid-back coastal living define your stay.
Charming River House – Waterfront Living, Dock, Porch & Stunning Views- Perfect for Scalloping Season!
The property features a private boat dock and a boat lift that accommodates up to a 28' boat (maximum 8,000 lbs). A convenient boat launch is located across the canal.
This beautiful 2-bedroom, 2-bath riverfront home is designed for comfort, relaxation, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. With an open, airy layout and abundant natural light, every space feels bright, inviting, and connected to the water just beyond your door.
The spacious primary suite is your private retreat, featuring a large ensuite bathroom with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower—perfect for unwinding after a day on the river. The second bedroom offers a king bed that can be converted into two twin beds, making it ideal for families, couples, or flexible guest arrangements.
You'll also enjoy the convenience of in-home laundry, thoughtful updates throughout the home, and everything you need for a comfortable, stress-free stay.
Relaxed Indoor-Outdoor Living
Step onto the screened porch and take in sweeping water views with no bugs to interrupt the moment—just fresh air, gentle breezes, and the soothing rhythm of the river. Whether it's coffee at sunrise or cocktails at sunset, this is where memories are made.
True Waterfront Lifestyle
This home is all about waterfront living. Your private dock with boat lift makes getting on the water effortless, whether you're heading out to fish, cruise, kayak, paddleboard, scallop, or explore the Gulf.
You'll also have access to an additional boat ramp and dock, making launching and accommodating multiple boats easy and convenient.
Scalloping Season – The Nature Coast's Signature Adventure
Summer scalloping season is one of Florida's most anticipated coastal traditions, and you're perfectly positioned to experience it. Launch directly from your dock and cruise into the crystal-clear Gulf waters where families and friends spend unforgettable days collecting bay scallops in shallow grass flats.
Part treasure hunt, part snorkeling adventure, scalloping is a uniquely Florida experience that keeps visitors returning year after year. Few places offer better access than Homosassa and the surrounding Nature Coast.
Fishing, Hunting & Outdoor Adventures
Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities nearby. Homosassa is renowned for world-class inshore and offshore fishing, with redfish, trout, snook, grouper, and tarpon attracting anglers throughout the year.
For hunters, the region offers access to thousands of acres of public lands and wildlife management areas, including nearby Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area and Withlacoochee State Forest. Seasonal opportunities include deer, turkey, wild hog, waterfowl, and small game hunting, making this an ideal destination for sportsmen and outdoor adventurers.
Explore Homosassa's Best Attractions
Take a short boat ride to Monkey Island, where playful monkeys delight visitors from their tiny island home.
Discover Florida's natural beauty at Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, where you can view manatees, black bears, panthers, and native wildlife up close.
Three Sisters Springs offers crystal-clear spring waters, kayaking, paddleboarding, and seasonal manatee encounters that attract visitors from around the world.
Spend your days scalloping, boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply floating under the Florida sun. Watch dolphins pass by, spot manatees near the dock, or cast a line right from your backyard.
Waterfront Dining, Fresh Seafood & Live Music

The Experience
Imagine waking to soft light reflecting off the river, the house glowing with warmth and openness. The day unfolds slowly—coffee on the porch, a boat ride to the springs, scalloping in turquoise waters, fishing at sunrise, live music at sunset, and laughter echoing long into the evening.
