The story
- Waterfront
Welcome to your own slice of Old Florida in charming Welaka! This 2-bedroom, 2-bath riverfront retreat offers the kind of waterfront lifestyle people dream about—morning coffee by the water, afternoons spent boating or fishing, and peaceful evenings watching the river go by. Step outside to your private dock and covered boathouse with boat lift, making it easy to keep your boat ready for spontaneous days on the water. With navigable river access right from your backyard, this property is ideal for anyone who loves boating, fishing, kayaking, or simply being near the water. The home offers approximately 1,152 square feet, a covered porch, detached garage, and plenty of space for fishing gear, water toys and everything that comes with river life. Located in Welaka, one of Northeast Florida's wonderfully laid-back river towns, you'll enjoy small-town charm, natural beauty, and a slower pace of life while still having easy access to outdoor recreation and the St. Johns River lifestyle. As an added bonus, the property has operated as a licensed short-term rental for approximately five years, while also being enjoyed personally by the owners. Because it has only been rented intermittently, there may be additional income potential for a buyer who chooses to make greater use of the rental opportunity. When rented, the home has averaged approximately $175 per night. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway, winter retreat, full-time waterfront home, or a property with vacation-rental potential, 232 Sportsman Drive is all about slowing down, getting outside and enjoying life on the river. Bring the boat, bring the fishing poles, and come experience Welaka.
