Property Description

Step back to a simpler time for respite at The Landing along the St. John’s River shoreline; a stone’s throw from Lake George. This 4+ acre estate, dating back to the mid-1800s, offers many luxuries of the current era, while preserving its history. The above floodplain buildings consist of a home with over 4,000sqft of airconditioned living space, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, parlor, formal dining room, flex room, 2 kitchens, loft, and museum, almost 1,000sqft of covered porches, another 300sqft of deck, a 6-car garage with 3 carport spaces and full loft area, a 1,024sqft carpeted & insulated warehouse/workshop, a 32’x24′ carport, 24’x20′ pole barn with headroom to park a Class C RV, and 400sqft insulated tack room/double stall area. In addition, there is abundant outdoor space for relaxing, playing, and entertaining: cleared land in front and back, beautiful trees and shrubbery along the property border. A long wooden walkway leading to the extended dock with covered boathouse invites you to enjoy the sunsets beyond Drayton Island and bass fishing on the river. There is even a wheelchair accessible platform with antique anchors to gaze at the spring-fed pond and watch the sunrise.

Enter the front of this house from the covered porch on the river side to find the original cabin, found in the center of the house, with a kitchen and dining room, referred to as the Keeping Room. To the right, is what’s believed to be the late 1800s 2 story addition. On the main level is a parlor or sitting room, with fireplace, antique furniture, and a pass-through door to a bedroom. Down the hallway is under-staircase storage and a handicap accessible bathroom with roll/walk-in shower (also a great spot to wash the dog)! This bathroom is also accessible from the rear access area, referred to as the utility room; complete with washer and dryer.

Heading up the original, refurbished wooden staircase you will find an upstairs bathroom, 2 large bedrooms, and a porch with hanging basket seats to enjoy bug-free views of the grass field, trees, St. John’s River, and wildlife. Back inside, and on the way to the 1980s loft addition, is the Museum, found in the attic of the original cabin, and housing artifacts and time-cherished relics of the property collected over the decades. The next door opens into the large, finished loft space with practical spaces for playing, sleeping, and entertaining, as well as a large bedroom with windows inviting you to watch the sunrise over the pond.

Back on the main floor, in the 1980s addition is a 24’x16′ living room, commonly referred to as the River Room, as it has oversized windows and portholes facing the St. John’s River. This oversized living space features antiques from steamboats and rowboats that were the main means of transportation in the 19th century and early 1900s. The next room is used as a formal dining room. There is another full bathroom around the corner. Then, through a doorway is the apartment, which makes this a great intergenerational home, in-law suite, or rental possibility. With a private entrance through a screened porch and sitting room, there is a second kitchen, full bathroom, and large bedroom- 26’x23′, with plenty of space for an office, additional living room, or 8 beds.

The Landing estate is truly one of a kind, and ready for the next owner to carry on its history, while adding their personal touches. Appointment Only. Offered mostly furnished, with many original antiques. Sold AS-IS.
