Beyond the home itself lies the incredible waterfront lifestyle this property offers. With approximately 150 feet of deep-water frontage on Barrentine Creek, the property overlooks the scenic Seven Sisters Islands, a group of uninhabited islands formed where Barrentine Creek and Trout Creek meet the St. Johns River.

It has previously accommodated vessels such as a 27-foot sailboat and even a 56-foot houseboat, making it ideal for serious boaters.Barrentine Creek flows alongside the St. Johns River--the longest river in Florida, stretching 310 miles before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. FFor those traveling with larger vessels, Shands Bridge is undergoing a remodel and will go from a 45 ft. clearance to a 65 ft of air clearance, allowing comfortable navigation along the river system. The home is located approximately 40 miles inland and about 90 miles from the mouth of the St. Johns River.
