Pay close attention to this listing. Undoubtedly, it will check a lot of boxes on your needs list. Maybe all of them. If you want a spring-fed pond stocked with bream, or a 2,300 square foot mechanics shop with a built in compressor, bookmark this one. If you need a manageably-sized home that doesn’t need a lot of work, this one has many updates, and is clean as a pin. Is accessibility a concern? A ramp to the front door was installed in 2025. Trailer, camper, RV, or boat owners: The 2,300 square foot barn-style workshop has an electrical hookup. The mechanics shop offers a concrete floor, multiple roll-up doors, lighting, compressor, and was rewired in 2025. In 2019, Rebuild Northwest Florida performed a thorough hurricane shore up on the house. Full details are in the document section. A complete walk around the fence line left me astounded that you can’t see any neighbors — should true privacy be your hot button. It’s so private, in fact, that not even the cars on Helms Road can see in. The topography is a dream. A large assortment of live oaks, water oaks, and cypress trees dot the parcel, and the pond edge is alive with cypress knees. The 17x14 dock was installed in 2024. Windows were updated in 2018, the roof was replaced in 2020, and the house electrical was updated in 2023. The pictures tell the story of a mid-century ranch with an impressive maintenance history, located on an exquisite parcel, with a natural pond, huge workshop, and a 100% private disposition. This is the one.
