The Story
9022 Heckscher Drive
A true fisherman's retreat on the St. Johns River, offering direct access to the Atlantic Ocean with no HOA and an unbeatable waterfront lifestyle. Launch straight from your private dock, watch cruise ships glide by, spot dolphins in the river, and enjoy spectacular sunrise views from the sunroom or expansive deck overlooking the water. Designed for life on the river, the home features a newly remodeled, generously sized kitchen completed in 2025, ideal for entertaining after a day on the water, along with a beautifully updated primary bathroom. The living room and dining area are positioned to capture river views, creating a comfortable space to relax and take in the scenery. The sunroom serves as a favorite gathering spot, offering front-row views of the river's daily activity. Boaters and anglers will appreciate the private dock with a boat lift rated for up to 7,000 pounds, providing easy access for offshore and inshore fishing. Navigable water leads directly to the ocean, making early-morning runs and sunset returns effortless. The fully fenced yard adds privacy while maintaining the open waterfront feel. Recent 2025 updates enhance comfort and peace of mind, including a new water heater, dishwasher, irrigation system and pump, blown-in attic insulation, attic sealing, new 6" gutters, and an updated fireplace setup. Paid-off solar panels add long-term energy efficiency and reduced operating costs. The home has been thoughtfully maintained with long-term improvements that support both everyday living and waterfront use. Located near local riverfront favorites like Sand Dollar Restaurant and close to the beaches, fishing access, and outdoor recreation at Huguenot Memorial Park, this property offers a laid-back coastal lifestyle. The home is also less than 30 minutes from Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach, providing easy access to additional marinas, dining, and coastal charm. This residence is part of a duplex, with each side deeded separately, presenting a rare opportunity to own a riverfront home built for fishing, boating, and life on the water.
