What you will love about this home
This house is all about the views! We have amazing sunsets EVERY night! It's a haven for bird watching! Our home faces west and the interesting boat and barge travelled intercoastal waterway. Almost all rooms face the waterway and marsh. The 10' X 20' heated pool is steps from the master bedroom within the deck that extends the length of the house. Towering live oak trees dripping with Spanish Moss frame the marsh view. We have completed a whole house renovation (2019) with stained concrete flooring throughout. There is an abundance of natural light, elevated ceilings with clean and minimalist design. There is a baby grand piano to satisfy the urge you have always dreamed about! The master bedroom and second bedroom are on the first floor with full bath for each. The loft can be another sleeping space with a half bath on this level. Jim has taken up oil painting so it is used by us as an art studio. A second half bath is off the kitchen near the laundry and outdoor shower. The outdoor shower is simply the best! It is completely private and used all year round. Our landscaping uses native plants which thrive in the local environment and we have no grass lawn to mow. This is our permanent home. We don't rent it out on Air B&B or other money making ventures. We joined home exchange to experience other people's home and environment where they live day to day. We are looking to exchange with like minded travelers.
What you will love about this neighborhood
We live on Amelia Island which is 13 miles long and 4 miles wide. The Atlantic beach is a short bike or car ride away. There is a parking lot at the beach with plenty of FREE parking. The town of Fernandina Beach is 8 miles north of our house. It's a quaint historic old town with plenty of great restaurants and shops. Again, all parking is FREE! We live in an un-gated neighborhood that is lined with live oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. Our home is located at the end of meandering Florence Point Drive The few streets in our neighborhood are quiet and walking friendly. Just outside the neighborhood, bike paths both north and south are abundant and tree-covered. We have two bikes for your enjoyment. Both the Omni Plantation Hotel and The Ritz Carlton Hotels are a short distance from the house and on the ocean side of the island. Fort Clinch is at the north end of the island with beaches and many hiking and biking trails as well as an historic fort to explore. We have a park pass for the State Park that you are welcome to use.
Additional information
Kayaking, biking, birding, running, sailing, river & ocean fishing and public tour boats are all available. Cumberland Island is a National Park across the river inlet at the north end of Amelia Island. Pristine beaches, a maritime forest, historic Greyfield Inn and camping with wild horses roaming the island can be reached from St Mary's, Georgia or privately from downtown Fernandina Beach marina. At the south end of the island, the road passes two State Parks (Big and Little Talbot Island) with fantastic scenery following the St Johns River into Jacksonville 40 minutes away. Large ocean going barges and fish trawlers travel this route. Just after leaving Amelia Island, a parking area on Big Talbot Island has a short trail to 3 mile sandy Boneyard beach famous for its salt-washed skeletons of live oak and cedar twisted branches and trees - a site not to be missed! We feel fortunate to call such a spot home.
