Bite off a bit of paradise close to the St. Johns River

St. Johns Riverside Estates in Satsuma is an ideal location for whatever your Florida life is designed around. You’ve got .21 acres with no time limit to build. Close to Little Lake George, Lake George, Crescent Lake, as well as the Murphy Creek Conservation area and Dunn Creek State Park. Head west for the coast at Cedar Key or east for the Atlantic oceanside at St. Augustine or Flagler Beach. A visit to Orlando for your theme park fix is just an hour or so away, and if you have a need for speed you’ve got multiple speedways in the area, including one right in Satsuma.

The Murphy Creek Conservation Area is made up of swamps connected to Murphy Creek and the St. Johns River. Murphy Island contains one of the few upland areas along the St. Johns River. Visitors will need a boat to access the island trails, which provide a spectacular view of the river and surrounding area. You can catch sight of bald eagles, tortoises, opossums, deer, bobcats, foxes, and a variety of birds. Murphy Island contains a boat landing, more than six miles of hiking trails and a primitive campsite.

Get a day pass to Dunn Creek State Park and for just a few dollars you can enjoy 6,200 acres of land that protects many endangered and threatened animal species. Better yet, get a yearly Florida State Park pass to enjoy any Florida state parks year round. Among the many activities you can participate in, you can paddle a kayak along 6 mile Deep Creek, which connects the St. Johns River to nearby Crescent Lake. There are trails for hiking, biking and even horseback riding.

With the proximity to St. Johns River, you’ll be catching largemouth bass, crappie, bluegills, catfish and more on a regular basis. Not into fishing? No problem, take a scenic riverboat tour of the area instead or day trip to DeLeon Springs to visit Volusia Speedway Park or make your own pancakes at the SugarMill restaurant (housed in a historic replica mill building).

Enjoy this convenient corner lot situated at the intersection of Hickory Nut Trail and Pond Rd. While you’re deciding what to build, you can bring your RV for temporary visits (see zoning details for length of time) without needing a temporary use permit as long as the RV is self-contained and it’s being used by the owners or friends and family of the owners (with permission). Plus if you plan to build on the property, the RV temporary use permit is good for 6 months.
