About this property

Farm/Woods stay, 3 miles from Live Oak

Set about 300 yards off the street, our home is conveniently located just 3 miles from Live Oak. It is surrounded by 200+ acres of commercial timberland and old-growth, upland hardwood forest.

On the same property we have two additional VRBO homes. Booked together we can host a total of 25 Guests! One is next door (300' away), the other is a 1 mile drive. For more info, search for "Catherine's Place" and "Inn the Woods" or message us for links to them.

Our home was built in 1943 from timber off the land by Host's grandparents and is of old Florida Cracker architecture. The home has been updated with central Heat & AC, WiFi (17+ Mbps), and 4 Smart HDTVs that stream online content.

Guests will have access to the entire home other than 2 closets secured with deadbolt locks and marked "Owners Closet."

Our neighborhood is quiet and is not on a commercial street or main highway. The street begins 2 miles away in a residential subdivision in town and ends about a mile past our home.

There is a state managed public lake less than a mile away that has fishing piers, a boat ramp, and plenty of parking space. Suwannee Lake was temporarily closed for a couple of years for renovations but has now reopened. Don't expect to water ski here, at 63 acres its more a fishing pond with quite a few cypress tress.

Our rural community has no public transportation. There is taxi service and an uncontrolled general aviation airport (24J) with one paved 4000' runway about 6 miles away.

A Greyhound bus terminal is about 22 miles away in Lake City. Closest commercial airports are, Valdosta, Ga, 50 mi.; Gainesville, Fl., 68 mi.; Jacksonville, Fl., 90 mi.; Tallahassee, Fl., 95 mi.; Orlando, 185 mi.; and Tampa 200 mi.

Amtrak service to the US mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states as well as Central and South Florida is available from Jacksonville, 90 miles away.

Many people enjoy riding bicycles on our rural highways and there are dozens of miles of paved rails to trails paths within a half-hour.

Distance to area attractions:
Camp Weed & Cerveny Conference Center (Episcopal), 6 Miles
Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, 10 Miles
Suwannee River State Park, 16 Miles
Advent Christian Village at Dowling Park, 20 Miles
Ichetucknee Springs, 28 Miles
Other Springs, 10 - 40 Miles
Wild Adventures Park in Lake Park, Ga., 47 Miles
Steinhatchee/Gulf Coast, 57 Miles

My wife Vicki and I travel a lot and often have very little or no contact with our guests. However, we have a handyman and a housekeeper available for most issues that may arise.
