Property Description
There are waterfront homes. And then there is this.
?? Experience this property before you ever leave your home. Our immersive 360° Virtual Tour lets you walk every room, step onto the waterfront, and feel the island lifestyle for yourself — day or night, on any device. Click the tour link in this listing and see why buyers who visit never want to leave.
Wrapped by water on three sides, this remarkable 1.53-acre Crystal River estate delivers something almost impossible to find — the feeling of living on a private island without ever leaving the mainland. Seven hundred feet of pristine waterfront with direct access to the Crystal River and the Gulf of America frames a property so rare, it simply does not come up twice in a lifetime.
The mid-century home has been thoughtfully and completely renovated, marrying the soul of old Florida with the standards of a luxury residence. Travertine marble floors run throughout the entire home. Hardwood interior doors. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space with warmth and character — the kind of feature that turns a house into a home. Dual-zoned Trane HVAC systems replaced in 2022 and 2024. A 2012 roof. Brand-new 2025 GE appliances. 2025 washer and dryer. Every system has been addressed — this is not a "mostly updated" property. This is done right.
Outside, mature oaks and palms frame the landscape while dolphins, sandhill cranes, and manatees make frequent appearances along your waterfront. The 10,000 lb. boat lift — with Kevlar-wrapped pilings completed in 2026 — is ready for your vessel the day you close. The Gulf is not a drive away. It is in your backyard.
For investors, the numbers speak for themselves: the current owner operated this property as a successful VRBO for three years at $350 per night. The income potential is proven and waiting for a new owner to step in.
Two details that will matter enormously when you run the numbers: flood insurance is transferable at only $2,000 annually — a figure that is nearly impossible to replicate on new policies — and the seller will consider financing. In today's market, that combination is as rare as the property itself.
Crystal River is one of Florida's last truly unspoiled coastal communities — home to manatees, world-class fishing, and a waterfront lifestyle that buyers from across the country are actively seeking out. Properties like this one don't just sell. They are claimed.
