You might hear the Santa Fe River whispering her soul-lifting secrets as she weaves the fabric of river life, and you begin your new story. And from the deck of your elevated masterpiece of nature's finest wood, listen closely. Of special note, there are airports, shopping, entertainment, and dining nearby. Or just meander through the winding trails of your private forest, breathing in the sweet river air. Or relax in peaceful quiet and fish from your dock. So, go on, indulge your playful side with swimming, boating, snorkeling, kayaking and the like. A floating dock and a screened-in cabana adorn the 336 feet of riverfront. There's also a room that combines a ¾ bathroom, laundry, and HVAC, and near the front door is an ADA-compliant elevator. The two glass sides of the fireplace were configured to heat the view deck that runs the length of the home, thus allowing you to lounge outside in comfort during North Florida's winters. The commanding fireplace is made of Tennessee river rock with inlays of arrow heads and shark and wild boar teeth.

There's native cypress, basswood, hickory, cedar, oak, pine, lighter stump, and apart from a few chinaberry cabinets, much of the wood in the home was harvested from the property. Each piece of wood was personally curated and brought together in harmony like a wooden quilt. The cabin design itself is a nod to the sublime gifts of nature: The views of majestic trees that seem to pierce the sky, the luminous light that shines through grand windows beneath soaring ceilings, the pageantry of wood species that comprise almost every surface of this unexpectedly nuanced home. Later, as an adult and drawing from 40 years of river living, the owner chose an expansive tract of land on the Santa Fe River that would capture the beauty and respect the power of the river and her teeming wildlife. A summer holiday visit to the log cabin of Abe Lincoln inspired a five-year-old boy, the owner, to one day build a home that expressed such strength and simplicity.
