xa0 COME TO THE xa0WATERxa0xa0xa0 !!!!xa0 xa0 FINAL REDUCTION !! The price is going back up to 450,000.00 when its listed with a Realtor..FINAL REDUCTION !! xa0 xa0 Beautiful home on a 2000+ acre lake. Plenty of fishing, boating, swimming and skiiing. This is a fishermans paradise.xa0. Its a clear to tannish spring fed lake. We have enjoyed this lake for 25 years, and hate to give up the beautiful home we just built but its time to retire and move to the mountains. This home is on 1.75 acres, waterfront on this beautiful lake. I have caught many 10-12 pound large mouth bass right off our dock, we have many fond memories of this place, the fish fry's, the gatherings, all the family fun, the beautiful sunsets to watch and forget your troubles. Its 4 miles out of town, between Starke and Lake Butler, Fl...12 minutes to a super Wal-Mart, 35 mins from Gainesville, 45 mins from Jacksonville...just off of hwy 301, 28 miles from Interstate 10, 40 mins to I 75 in Lake City. Its a good place to raise children or to retire, its in the country but not too far to get to the city. The many acres in front of the home is leased by the paper company and you will have no neighbors in front of you for many years to come, and will have the lake in back of you. The neighbors to the sides are hardly ever here, its a vacation home to them. Its on a dirt road, that eventually will be paved, there is hardly any traffic as it sitsxa0near to thexa0dead end of the road. The home is 4 bedroom with one of the bedrooms downstairs presently being used as an office. There is an extra little room upstairs that we are using for an extra bedroom in addition to the 4, that can be used for a computer room, etc. There is a formal living room, formal dinning, breakfast room, foyer, family room, 3 baths, master bedroom downstairs with master bath, jacuzzi and seperate shower. Jack and jill bath upstairs between the two bedrooms. walkin attic with plenty of storage space. Rocking chair front porch to enjoy the wildlife, listen to the birds singing in the afternoon and watch the deer cross your yard going down to the lake to drink. Bose stero speakers, wiring ran for stero system throughout the downstairs. Security system. 2 fireplaces...one in the family room, one in the master bedroom. In the family room, beautiful solid oak staircase with a 16ft high ceiling. The landscaping is still in process as we have just moved in a year and a half ago and are still planting. We have planted elm, sycamore, silver dollar tree, river berch trees, maple, and green ash trees, wysteria, passion vine and more....its all starting to grow now. There is a 12x20 metal shed for storage, there is a 12x24 metal building on a 52x24 ft concrete slab with 4 runs on each side that we are using for a dog kennel as we raise terriers. It can also be used for storage. or tore down and used for a basket ball/tennis court. This place will increase in value at a high rate as water front property is getting harder and harder to find. When we sold the lot next door recently it sold within 2 weeks of listing.xa0 If this property was further down south it would sell for much higher, we had visitors recently from Tampa that said the property like this there is going in the six hundreds and more. Starke will catch up in the years to come with the property values as its growing everyday. We have many more pictures than what I can place on here, if interested in seeing the other pictures, write or call me and let me know and I can send them to you in e-mail.We have had three different families try to buy this place but something fell through on each one...one couldn't sell her place in order to buy it, the other could not get financing, and then the last one had just purchased a home before seeing this one and would have had to pay an enormous amount of capital gains if she sold hers so soon in order to purchase this one. So we have had plenty of interest in the place, but just not the right buyer. xa0 xa0 We were not getting real serious with selling until my son graduated which he did now in June, so we are ready to move to our farm in NC now so my Husband can retire. Therefore we reduced the price by 36k, however, if we do not get a contract on it by Aug 1st, we are listing with a realtor and the price will go back to 425k. 07-21-09xa0xa0 We have recently listed with a realtor for 3 months and the price went to 450,000.00 with the realtor...HOWEVER, if interested, we can sell it by owner for 389,000.00. when the contract is up in October 09. xa0 Serious inquiries only...SHOWN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY call 904-964-2722 to make an appointment to view.
