This home flooded 18" in Helene for the first time in 30 years resulting in the $500K reduction in price. The early shots in the photos are designed to give you an idea of the way this home was. Starting in the later pics, you will see the home with 4' of drywall that has been removed. This location is one of the most pristine locations on the Blue Water (where the springs are) on the Homosassa River. Nestled in the tranquil Bluewater Forest subdivision, this 2,648 square-foot pool home offers 278 feet of frontage on the river in the famous "Blue Water" area. The water depth off the dock and in the river is sufficient for larger boats and there is direct Gulf access. This property can be your full-time, part-time residence or offered as a VRBO with no restrictions. These spring-fed waters offer great wildlife views of manatees, dolphins, otters as well as great fishing for redfish, trout and snook from your dock area as the water temperature stays around 72 degrees all year 'round. When temperatures drop in the winter they all find their way to the springs. Direct Gulf-of-Mexico access cruising down the Homosassa River. The Roof was installed in 2021 and both A/C units on each end of the house were installed late 2020 or early 2021. It also features solar panels installed in 2024. This large yard is completely fenced for your pets. The garage houses an elaborate battery backup system that runs some of the house during power outages. The system is "generator ready." The dock area has a boat lift, kayak docking area and 180* degree view of the river. BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE DRONE VIDEO
