Ichetucknee River Retreat

Available all year weather permitting 

This beautiful one of a kind house is a destination in itself. The 
architect designed, handmade,  curvilinear sculpture is exciting to be
in and look at. Its location on the spectacular Ichetucknee makes it
very special. This unusual house is a retreat away from ordinary life,
a getaway into the deciduous forest and crystal clear river that was 
the original Florida.

The house is elevated to be a tree house. It has pocket views of the 
river and spectacular views of the huge ancient trees around it. The 
house is a small retreat, a river camp. The house sleeps two people in
one double bed. It is an artists retreat, a lovers retreat, a special
romantic private place to get away from ordinary life. It is a unusual
sculptural house, for special people, it not a large house for
parties. It is one of the few houses on the Ichetucknee that cannot
see another house or be seen, you are alone in your own private
sensual world.

An entry way with river views leads to the kitchen with a stove and 
oven, compact refrigerator, toaster, blender, champion juicer, 
and all cooking amenities. 

The living room has 12' high windows and skylights. The house is air 
conditioned. The house has satellite TV, DVD, DSL, WIFI, and a 
stereo. It has views of the forest and pocket secret views of the
river.  

The bedroom has a double bed and a large two person Jacuzzi tub and
opens onto a wild floating deck high in the trees. There is one
bathroom, in a curtained area off the bedroom. Because of the house's
architecture and
construction, no pets are allowed. 

A short path from the house through the forest leads to private 
access to the magnificent Ichetucknee river and a dock for swimming or
a Kayak or canoe launch. The house has 200' of river frontage but 
is far enough back to ensure complete privacy on its six river acres 
adjoining the Ichetucknee state park. A private park for homeowners,
is down river, it is available with a beach, you can float from the
house in a tube and take out there and walk or drive back to the 
house. 

A kayakers paradise, you can paddle the Ichetucknee to the 
headsprings or down the Sante Fe and even the Suwannee for those who 
are adventurous. Canoe the famous Ichetucknee river or just swim or 
float. Snorkel this crystal clear river with wet suits or bathing 
suits. Canoe and fish the deep holes along the river or watch beaver, 
otter, hawk, owl, heron, woodpecker, turtles and raccoons. 

Launch your own kayak or canoe or rent our kayak. A kayak is
available , a double wilderness pamlico, that can be paddled as a
