Our pie shaped property is .33 acres with 138 feet on the Salt Creek Canal.  Our canal is 65' wide.  We have a brand new boat ramp and sea wall to protect this piece from erosion.  We have 180 degrees view from the 60 foot porch over the canal, from the gulf to the west, due north and east.  Sun rise and sunset are glorious here.  Artists sit on the porch over the canal and study the light, fish and manatee in the canal, birds moving across the 100's of miles of protected national preserve.  Spend days and see no other people. Truly old Florida, on the nature coast, you will see exciting wildlife and birds.  Ride your bikes on hundreds of miles of accessable trails in every direction.  Archeology and history abound, with horshoe beach to the north up the coast, with Indian artifacts and eroding primeval forest, and deep port Cedar Key to the south.  A one hour drive by car, 30 minutes in a small boat will bring you to all the modern bustle of Cedar Key with bars and shopping.  In your life, you may never complete all the trails through the preserves, or the myriad of canals through the wetlands along the coast and river. A KAYAKER'S PARADISE.  Crystal springs by the dozen bubble up along the banks of the Suwannee with three or four within the 19 mile boatride to Fanning Springs, or drive your boat up to Fanning Springs and explore another batch of crystal springs heading north, upriver.  The Suwannee River boasts the most crystal springs of any river in america.  A selection of diverse underground cavern-cave diving is all within an hour's drive.  The Suwannee river is the longest river in Florida with no dam on it.  It is one of the top ten rivers in America for artifact finding with its historical past. 1400 square foot modular home is grandfathered  at the 1993 flood requirement height of 14 feet.  The current height to build in Suwannee is 19 feet, a substantial and inconvenient difference.  One can take advantage of this grandfathering in by further adapting and adding on to home at this lower, more convenient height.  There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, two laundry stations, inside and out with W/D.  Lots of renovation, we have removed walls, replaced plumbing, refloored and added windows and 18' of sliding glass doors onto porch.  New appliances, new sinks and fixtures in handy roomy long double kitchen.
