The surrounding landscape captures the essence of Old Florida, filled with hickory, oak, cedar, palm, and wild citrus trees, and frequented by deer, turkeys, owls, pileated woodpeckers, bobcats, coyotes, and even the occasional bear or panther. As evening falls, fireflies light up the yard, the air fills with the calls of whip poor wills and great owls. The unspoiled night sky offers spectacular stargazing thanks to Aripekas minimal light pollution. Below the home, youll find covered parking, secure storage, and an electric vehicle charging station. With no HOA, room for boats and RVs, and the rare blend of coastal convenience and conservation land serenity, this property offers true freedom, beauty, and authenticity.
