Description

Experience true waterfront living in this exceptional 4-bedroom, 3-bath elevated home with remote-opener gated access, perfectly positioned near the world-renowned Three Sisters Springs. Set in the heart of Crystal River, this breathtaking residence offers a lifestyle that feels both peaceful and exhilarating. With approximately 2,110 square feet, this beautifully crafted retreat was engineered with remarkable care and creativity. It was originally designed by a former NASA engineer and built on twelve massive concrete pilings with substantial steel crossbeams, creating a sense of strength and innovation that perfectly complements its stunning natural surroundings. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels alive. Manatees, dolphins, otters, turtles, fish, and coastal birds are frequent visitors, and manatees have been seen giving birth near the property. The canal is estimated at approximately 12' deep at the stated location, and the floating dock rises naturally with changing water levels. Riprap shoreline protection adds stability, and there is potential to expand the dock with proper verification and permitting. This home is ideal for anyone dreaming of a waterfront lifestyle with excellent ocean access. You can hop on your boat or jet ski and reach the Gulf of Mexico in about 25 minutes, where fishing and scalloping adventures await. Three Sisters Springs is only a 10-minute kayak ride away, and Waterfront Social, walking paths, and golfing are all close by. Inside, the living room welcomes you with soaring ceilings with wood accents, updated luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a loft that adds warmth and architectural character. Two guest rooms are located on the main floor, while the primary suite enjoys privacy on the second level. Multiple balconies and rooftop access create unforgettable outdoor living spaces, including an observation area where you can take in glowing western sunsets, views toward downtown Crystal River, and even occasional rocket-launch visibility. The kitchen features butcher-block countertops, a center island with a convenient prep sink, upgraded cabinetry, and recessed LED lighting. A working wood-burning fireplace adds charm, and the home includes a newer roof, a fortified rooftop observation area, new stairs, and modern see through metal railings. A convenient dumb waiter runs from the ground floor to the primary living level, making it easy to bring groceries and everyday items upstairs. The lower level offers a flexible guest or in-law space with a full bathroom, closet, privacy slider, separate entrance, and kitchenette-style area. Water-resistant flooring adds durability, and two garage bays, each approximately two-car lengths deep, provide ample space for vehicles, kayaks, and recreational equipment. Convenience enhances the lifestyle with nearby shopping, dining, waterfront experiences, and a short golf cart ride to Downtown Crystal River. Tampa International Airport is about one hour away, and both Tampa and Orlando cruise ports are easily accessible. What truly sets this home apart is the feeling it gives. You can launch your boat and reach the open ocean in minutes, watch wildlife from your backyard, enjoy glowing sunsets each evening, and experience the deep sense of peace that comes from living on the water. This home blends engineering excellence with natural beauty and everyday convenience, offering a rare chance to live fully immersed in the Crystal River lifestyle.

Navigation note: Navigation routes show the shortest mapped path to open water. A vessel taller than the binding bridge clearance may still reach open water via a longer alternate route that we don't currently map. Verify navigability with a local captain or surveyor before relying on it.
