Escape to a fully outfitted hunting camp bordering state land, offering privacy, easy access, and game management already done for you. Tucked in North Central Florida within reach of Palatka, Gainesville, Jacksonville, and St. Augustine, this property blends true off-grid convenience with serious hunting infrastructure, making it just as suited to a weekend retreat as to a dedicated hunting operation. The camp is anchored by a small 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom lodge alongside a separate metal building, both powered by the property's solar array, giving you comfortable, self-sufficient shelter for overnight stays plus dedicated storage and workspace without dependence on the grid. The solar power keeps lights, appliances, and gear charged and ready between trips, so arriving at camp feels no different than flipping a switch at home. A gated entrance provides controlled access and privacy, keeping the property secure when no one is on site, while an established network of interior roads reaches every corner of the property by truck or ATV. That road system means checking stands, refilling feeders, hauling out game, or moving equipment around camp is simple rather than a battle with the terrain. Hunters will appreciate the work that has already gone into this property. Multiple cleared food plots throughout, each paired with box stands positioned over the openings to take advantage of natural travel corridors. Feeders are already in place and running, so there is no scramble to set up before the season starts. A small seasonal creek also runs through the property, adding another natural water source that draws wildlife through the cleared areas and stands. The land has been strictly managed, meaning the game populations here reflect real, ongoing stewardship rather than incidental pressure. Deer, turkey, and hogs are all present in strong numbers, giving hunters a genuine variety of pursuits across the calendar, from spring turkey season through fall and winter deer and hog activity. Bordering state land along the entire north side is a rare and valuable feature, extending the property's usable habitat and travel corridors well beyond its own boundary while helping buffer the land from future development and preserve its character for years to come. The location adds real convenience to the package as well. Sitting close to Palatka and within a manageable drive of Gainesville, Jacksonville, and St. Augustine, the camp is easy to reach for weekend trips while still feeling private and secluded once you are through the gate. Supply runs, fuel, and equipment are never far away, but the camp itself stays quiet, gated, and undisturbed between visits. Whether the goal is a turnkey camp ready to hunt this season without lifting a finger, a private outdoor retreat for weekends away, or a well-managed tract to build on for the long term, this property delivers infrastructure, access, and game numbers that are hard to find already in place. Camps with this level of readiness, this location, and this kind of public-land border do not come along often.

There are properties, and then there are places that feel like they were always meant to exist —rooted in the land, shaped by the river, built for a life lived slowly and well. This is one of those places. Situated on 20.2± acres of unspoiled North Florida terrain across two contiguous parcels, this extraordinary riverfront compound commands 423 linear feet of St. Johns River frontage — one of the most coveted stretches of private waterway in the state. The grounds unfold with quiet intention: a working barn anchors the back acreage, mature hardwoods and native landscape frame the approach, and beyond the compound, the land remains beautifully undeveloped. Designed by HAASE DESIGN of Melrose, FL — an award-winning, father-and-son studio with a signature reverence for Old Florida vernacular — and brought to life by Olson Construction, the main house spans approximately 5,500 square feet of ICF-constructed, timber-truss, vaulted-ceiling living space across an open, airy floor plan with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Two guest cottages, each offering 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, complete the compound. All three structures are seamlessly connected by roofed, screened breezeways — no steps, no interruptions, just a fluid flow between indoor and outdoor living. The porches and outdoor spaces are where this estate truly breathes. Morning coffee in the screened breezeway. Afternoon shadows crossing the grounds. And then the river — always the river — drawing you toward the two-story permitted dock with boat lift and 360-square-foot sundeck, where world-class St. Johns River bass fishing awaits and sunsets arrive like slow paintings across the water. Aerial views reveal what photographs cannot fully capture: the scale of the riverfront, the sweep of the acreage, and the harmony of a compound that feels both grand and deeply personal.
