8515 FLORENCE COVE ROAD SAINT AUGUSTINE FL 32092 MLS #FC296665

SEE VIDEO. The canvas to develop your riverfront dream home on a historic piece of Old Florida. Reside in a segment of William Bartram’s 500-acre tract, where Bartram spent several months attempting to operate the area as a rice farm before abandoning the settlement in 1766. The area would later be part of a 1,000 acre land grant to Captain William S Rainsford in 1768, becoming part of many settlements that would evolve along Six Mile Creek. Today, the area represents an example of pastoral Florida charm progressing into an expanding suburban corridor. This 1 acre parcel is your point of departure to the St. Johns River, with 100′ of southeast waterfront exposure. Encompassing 31 lots, Florence Cove is an enclave canopied by live oaks and roaming with peacocks. The 400’+ deep lot offers 0.59 acres of upland area to construct a residence that balances a natural and private location. The remnants of a 350′ dock and boat ramp provide a vision for riverfront recreation. No HOA.
