Just doors from the world-famous Three Sisters Springs Manatee Sanctuary, this 4-bed, 3-bath waterfront gem is a nature lover’s paradise. It features a 3-bed, 2-bath main home and a structurally isolated 1-bed, 1-bath apartment, offering flexibility, space, and stunning water views. The main house boasts two spacious living areas, a large Florida room with water views, an oversized two-car garage with ample overhead storage, plus a separate bonus one-car garage. The apartment, perched above the garage with a separate entrance via exterior stairs or custom elevator, includes a full kitchen, dining area, two cozy sunrooms, and a full living space.

Walkable to downtown Crystal River, shops, restaurants, and vibrant nightlife. Whether you seek a peaceful escape or an adventure hub, this property is full of charm and potential. During the season, you will see hundreds of manatees in your backyard, including newborn baby manatees. Come experience the magic of Crystal River, where every sunset feels like a vacation.
