About this home
18841 NW 282ND DRIVE
THE ONLY RIVERFRONT HOME FOR SALE IN HIGH SPRINGS. Tucked along the banks of the Santa Fe River, this exceptionally charming riverfront cottage feels more like a private Tennessee mountain retreat than a home in North central Florida. Elevated among the trees and overlooking the water, the 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is filled with character, including exceptionally rare heart pine floors and a warm, timeless interior. The expansive living room opens directly to a full-length screened porch through a set of pocket sliding glass doors that disappear into the walls, creating an incredible 12-foot-wide opening blurring the line between indoors and out and filling the home with the views and sounds of rushing water. The kitchen continues the cottage aesthetic with butcher block countertops and a farmhouse apron sink, while the bathroom features a pedestal sink and walk-in shower with pebble flooring. The primary bedroom has a walk in closet and features a second pocket sliding door with river views. A dedicated laundry closet includes the washer and dryer. Outside, the screened porch stretches across the entire river-facing side of the home, creating an extraordinary place for morning coffee, long dinners, or simply listening to the Santa Fe flow below. Across the river, hundreds of acres of protected preserve land provide an untouched natural backdrop with no neighboring homes in sight, while Poe Springs Park is just a short walk away. The property also has a successful history as an Airbnb with Superhost status, offering the opportunity to continue its use as an established vacation rental or keep it entirely for yourself as a peaceful riverfront escape. All furnishings may also be included with an acceptable offer, making this a rare opportunity to own a truly special, potentially turnkey retreat on one of North Florida’s most beautiful rivers.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
