IT'S 75 DEGREES ON THE WEEKI WACHEE TODAY!!!!

THIS IS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME FIND! SWIM WITH THE MANATEES IN YOUR OWN CRYSTAL CLEAR TROPICAL RIVER  YEAR AROUND!!!

THE WEEKI WACHEE RIVER IS FLORIDA'S BEST KEPT SECRET!  IT'S SO SECLUDED THAT EVEN MOST OF THE LOCALS DON'T KNOW IT EXISTS AND HAVE NEVER SEEN IT.

No traffic noise, airplanes or sirens here! Only the sounds of nature. If you want to enjoy the best of living on fresh spring water and still be only 10 minutes to salt water by boat or car, here's your spot! Enjoy nature's peaceful serenity in this quiet riverside community. Situated amid the Weeki Wachee Nature Preserve and adjacent to the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge (click on 'Explore the Neighborhood'), this is a three-story stilt home on the beautiful, clear, Weeki Wachee River. Weeki Wachee Spring produces 170 million gallons of fresh spring water per day at a pleasant, constant 75 degrees all year and flows 12 miles through the pristine forest of the Preserve to the Gulf of Mexico. The river wraps around this house on 3 sides. Every window in the house has a great view of the blue-green water with it's white, sandy bottom. (See photos) Manatees and dolphin swim by the house almost daily! Direct Gulf access; an easy 1 1/2 mile float to the Gulf by boat; 14ft deep water for larger boats; 220ft+ of riverfront seawall; 2 docks; water slide; rope swing over the river. A great place to raise children, entertain grandchildren, retire or anything in between! Because the community is surrounded by Preserve, there will never be any more development other than the small number of homes and shops already here.

Snorkel or scuba? Kayak or canoe? Sail or power boat? These are some of the tough decisions you will face in life on the river! Catch a variety of fish right from the dock or go out to the Gulf for the "Big uns". There are far too many activities to list. And don't forget, because of Florida's great climate, you can do all the outdoor activities, golf, swim, boat and fish, all year long. 

THIS IS A MUST SEE PLACE IN AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE AND UNIQUE TROPICAL LOCATION!
