About this home
Tucked away at the very end of Island Road, this charming rustic retreat offers a rare opportunity to enjoy true waterfront living on the Santa Fe Canal—just steps from where it opens into Lake Santa Fe. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home blends cozy character with thoughtful updates, including a beautifully refreshed kitchen and bathrooms, along with a durable new metal roof for peace of mind. Inside, you’ll find warm, inviting spaces that make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Out back is where this property truly shines. A massive Florida room creates the ultimate entertaining space—complete with a built-in bar area and pool table—perfect for hosting friends, game nights, or simply relaxing after a day on the water. Even better, all furnishings can stay, making this a turnkey opportunity. Step outside and take in peaceful canal views from your backyard, with direct access to Lake Santa Fe just moments away.
