Edward is an avid outdoorsman. Having spent more than 40 years fishing in our coastal waters, including the coastal waters of Homosassa & Crystal River and throughout Bahamas & Caribbean.

There is some thought required to find that perfect water front property. For example: Does the property have access to deep water? Are there bridges or obstacles in the way which would impede navigation, and a very important consideration when purchasing a home are the FEMA Flood Zone rules!

And, if you’re looking for a property to build on, clearly, 40 plus years of building experience goes a long way to help you make the proper decision while choosing a building site.  Jurisdictional wetlands, building setbacks, lot coverage ratios for impervious surfaces, building heights, and utility connections & easements are some of the considerations for new construction. Edward Johnston is by far the most knowledgeable waterfront real estate professional on the Nature Coast & Citrus County and has experience to turn your dream into Reality.
