About this home
12 61ST STREET
Picture this: You step outside your front door into the crisp morning air, greeted by moss-draped oaks and the gentle breeze sweeping off the nearby Withlacoochee River. In Yankeetown, life moves at a refreshingly peaceful pace, where tight-knit, Old Florida fishing culture and relaxed coastal living meet right outside your door. This is a true coastal haven where neighbors wave as they pass by in their golf carts, skiffs and boat trailers line the driveways, and everyday life revolves around the water. As a golf cart-friendly community, you can hop in your cart for a slow-paced cruise down to the local marina, head over to the waterfront restaurant where anglers gather to swap catch stories at sunset, or roll down to the nearby campground and riverbank parks. The classic two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath cottage itself delivers the ultimate low-maintenance retreat. Capped with a durable metal roof for years of worry-free living and two new split system a/c's. The home serves as the perfect launchpad for coastal living. Take a short morning stroll or golf cart ride down to the river, where quiet waters flow straight out to the Gulf of Mexico for world-class fishing, boating, and seasonal scalloping. Adding to its unique character, the community sits along the historic "Follow That Dream" Highway—made famous when Elvis Presley filmed on location here in 1961. With local marina facilities, boat launches, dining, and river access just moments away, everything that makes this hidden coastal enclave so special is within easy reach. Offered at $121,000, this cottage provides an unbeatable opportunity to drop anchor and become part of Yankeetown's storied, golf cart-friendly fishing community. Schedule a private showing today!

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.
