Overview / Comments
|
Life's all about taking advantage of the few opportunities that pass before you in life. I believe this to be one of those opportunities. Not many waterfront commercial properties in the area and there certainly aren't very many commercial waterfront properties in Old Homosassa. If you don't know Old Homosassa, you are missing out. As far as historic goes, it doesn't get much more historic than down here. Yulee Sugarmill operated from 1851 to 1864 and served as a supplier of sugar products for Southern troops during the Civil War. This along with some of the coolest waterfront establishments on the west coast of Florida make Old Homosassa a true destination. This property has the size and ability to be redeveloped into just about anything you want; a Bed & Breakfast, camp retreat, art gallery, and much more. There is currently a thriving restaurant on site with a vacation rental cottage. The Commercial Land Use would allow for multiple vacation rental properties to be constructed, as well supporting operations. Imagine 10-15 vacation rental units, a bait shop, a kayak/paddle board rental, restaurant, gold carts, tiki bar and more all on the same site? This would be something people would drive from miles and miles away to come and be a part of. The canal behind is only suitable for flats boats, pontoon boats, and the like, but there is a small bridge to travel under anyway. You aren't going to attract the big boat crowd, and really, you don't need to. The private boat ramp on site can not be duplicated anywhere. Your guests can come and launch their boats and more all from the same site they lodge at. If you did it right, the income from the restaurant and the vacation rental could carry the property while you get your ducks in a row to develop. The site is currently serviced by city water and sewer is available. One you add sewer the possibilities are endless. This really could be something special located in an area that is already known as being special. Ask about owner finance options.

| Area Description: |
An original Florida fishing town, few place can match the feeling of the gulf coast better than Homosassa, Florida. Manatees, paddlers, and boaters cruise these waters heading up to the world-famous Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. The centerpiece of this incredible Park which features rescued and rehabilitated native Florida wildlife is deep beautiful Homosassa Spring–a second magnitude spring that attracts manatees, fish of all kinds, and people. Descend underwater without ever getting wet in the Fishbowl Observatory. Or take a manatee tour to Blue Waters just outside the park and swim with a manatee. It’s an experience you’ll never forget.
Wild manatees use Homosassa Springs as a warm water shelter from November 15 to March 31. The rest of the year, the Park’s rehabilitated manatees swim in the spring. If you want to see a manatee, guaranteed, this is the place. Florida panthers, black bears, red wolves, alligators and a parade of flamingos make this one of Florida’s most incredible wildlife experiences! Please check out our live Homosassa River cam to see what is happening. |
