Welcome to your dream property in Crystal River, Florida!

Although it serves as one of the Sunshine State's best kept secrets, Crystal River has recently garnered national attention for its balanced blend of natural beauty and Southern charm, leading to exciting growth and development. If you are looking for a vacation home, a rental investment property, or a primary residence, this beautifully updated, waterfront ranch checks all of the boxes! Situated on a "no-wake" canal with a private floating dock to accommodate anything from a large vessel to kayaks and paddle boards, access to water sports and leisure is literally right in your own back yard!

There are two additional bedrooms with a guest bathroom on the other side of this split floor-plan home.
