Property Description
Built in 1953, this warm and soulful riverfront home offers 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms in the main house, plus an additional bedroom and bathroom in the detached guesthouse. Cedar walls throughout give the home its signature cabin-cool, river-relaxed character — the kind of place that slows your heartbeat the moment you walk in. Tile floors keep things easy and comfortable, while the cozy kitchen features granite countertops and recently updated appliances. Each bedroom tells its own story: one looks out over the garden, the other opens to the river. Wake up to morning fog rolling softly over the water, herons gliding through the mist, and turtles perching on sun-warmed driftwood as the day gently stirs to life. The massive waterfront deck is just steps from your bedroom door — grab a book, a journal, or a cup of coffee and settle into one of the Adirondack chairs. Breakfast tastes better here. Rainy Summer Day, no worries, the enclosed oversized lanai overlooks the river - curl up, chill out, and just take in the scenery. Rain or shine, time moves more slowly here. That's the point. But we are in Florida, where endless summer days warm up, and the real fun begins. A waterfront slide, rafting, boating, kayaking, and the pure wonder of the Rainbow River await. After a full day of adventure, rinse off at the outdoor shower or use the convenient exterior entrance directly to the bathroom and bedrooms. This home is also actively generating rental income and is available turn-key — details provided upon request.
The detached guesthouse is a wonderful bonus, offering a comfortable living space with a Murphy bed, a private bedroom, a recently remodeled bathroom, and a lovely lanai overlooking the fire pit — perfect for family, guests, or additional income potential. Round it all out with an oversized 2-car detached garage for all the gear, toys, and storage you need.
Peace of mind comes included: roof replaced in 2020, HVAC and hot water heater both new in 2025, and a soft water system already in place. This home has been loved by every generation that has called it their own, and that sense of warmth and care is felt in every corner.
Perfectly situated just minutes from Downtown Dunnellon, Blue Run Park, and Rainbow Springs State Park, with easy access to Crystal River, Inverness, Hernando, and Ocala for those days when you're ready for a change of scenery — though once you're here, that urge may be hard to find. This is a rare opportunity to own a place where the river lifestyle is the amenity, and where leaving is the hardest part.
