"Midst moss-hung live oaks and cypress trees, and songs of birds, the drive is begun. Its beauty could never be imagined or dreamed of by driving along a paved highway. Beautiful holly groves, tupelo, magnolia, and wildflowers are along the way, and suddenly it opens up to the romantic Suwannee River! Flowing silently, it holds many secrets of the past... The secrets of Jungle Drive." Words once published about this very property. Welcome to a one-of-a-kind masterpiece on the banks of the Suwannee River in Old Town, Florida — the work of a true craftsman contractor. Tucked away on over 2 acres of land once part of the Suwannee River Jungle Drive of the 1950s, this nearly 2, 300 sq ft home is surrounded by natural landscaping, towering cypress trees, and abundant wildlife. As the driveway winds through the scenery, it opens to reveal a grand riverfront retreat unlike any other. Step inside to discover a brand-new kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, beautiful quartz countertops with warm and cool undertones, and soaring vaulted heart pine ceilings that bring warmth and character. Beyond the kitchen, a striking double-sided fireplace connects the spacious living room with a pool table and bar area — both opening onto the expansive back porch overlooking the river. The dining room is a true showstopper, with coffered ceilings and pine flooring adding elegance and craftsmanship at every turn. Upstairs, a loft offers sweeping views of the grand living space below. The oversized primary suite is wrapped in stunning pecky cypress and opens to both the back porch and a private deck with river views. The master closet feels like a hidden retreat of its own. On the opposite side of the home, an additional bedroom, full bath, and an oversized laundry room provide comfort and convenience for family and guests. With its unmatched craftsmanship, breathtaking river views, and rich connection to Old Florida history, this home offers not just a place to live — but a story to be part of.
