    Investment opportunity!! Motivated seller seeking to sell second home used as successful short term rental. This home is a fisherman's dream located on the St. John's River with tons of potential as well as kitchen sink upgrades, butcher block countertops, pine floors and an outdoor shower. The Sportsman's Harbor neighborhood offers quick access to great fishing and shrimping. Waters are navigable to the Ocean via the St. John's River. Covered boat house which is currently decked over, still has the boat lift in it and can be converted back. So many options and so much potential to offer. Water at your dock is over 5 feet at low tide. Covered deck is a great place to hook up your hammock and enjoy the breeze after being out on your boat all day or you can enjoy your morning coffee in the screened patio room with sink, ceiling fan and custom shades. The cutest bungalow offers a third bed with 1/2 bath for extra sleeping with privacy. Public boat ramp is less than a mile away. Home will come fully furnished with all paint and decorations refreshed in the last 2 years and well maintained as a successful Air BnB since 2022. This is a turn key property that would be perfect for a second home or short term rental. Property is in close proximity to the up and coming Bass Pro Resort.
    What the owner loves about this home
    This home is located in a quiet, friendly and well maintained neighborhood. Situated perfectly not far from restaurants and shopping but right on the river so you can live a relaxed quiet lifestyle of fishing and boating.
