Description
**Seller Financing available. Call listing agent for details. Tucked away down a quiet dirt country road this beautifully restored 1945 Old Florida Cottage sits on a 2.08 acre high-and-dry private homestead and offers a rare blend of historic charm, privacy, and creative possibility. Previously known as Camp Wild Dog, the property has served as a butterfly habitat, garden sanctuary, and most recently a boutique Airbnb retreat for couples and families seeking a peaceful escape from the pace of everyday life. Surrounded by mature trees, beautiful views, and thoughtful outdoor spaces, this property is perfect for someone ready to roll up their sleeves and build a productive homestead, food forest, hobby farm, outdoor school, or those who simply want to soak in the front porch views and sounds of the country with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. The historic cracker cottage has been fully updated while preserving its original character. Inside you'll find a well-designed layout with a defined kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and living area. Modern updates include updated electrical, insulation, zone AC, along with a full kitchen featuring an oven, refrigerator, freezer, and microwave as well as plenty of storage space. Outside, there's a designated gardening area with a gravity fed irrigation system as well as a potting shed, utility shed, a big outdoor fireplace area with seating and shade, and a large concrete sun deck making it well suited for gardening, hobby farming, or any other type of creative work. Since it's over 2 acres, the zoning allows for up to four farm animals including horses, cows, sheep, goats, and pigs. A 35-amp RV hookup and water access provides additional flexibility for guests, campers, or future expansion. With no flood zone concerns and plenty of usable land, the property offers room for a wide range of possibilities. Expand the existing home, build a second residence on the already poured slab while keeping the cottage as a guest house, continue operating a boutique retreat, or simply enjoy the peaceful lifestyle of a private country homestead. Despite its tranquil setting, the property is only about eight minutes from downtown Dade City, where you'll find antique shops, bakeries, award winning barbecue, restaurants, and year-round festivals. Whether you're a gardener, artist, writer, animal lover, or someone simply looking for a quiet place to breathe, this unique Old Florida retreat offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the countryside while still staying connected to town and the rest of beautiful sunny Florida!
