Nearly ½ Mile of Suwannee River Frontage | 36.9 Acres | River Lodge | State Submerged Land Lease

One of the most extraordinary riverfront properties in North Florida, this 36.9-acre estate offers nearly half a mile of frontage along the legendary Suwannee River.

Formerly, Bob’s River Place, family owned and operated for over 40 years, drew in hundreds of thousands of customers nationally and internationally and was featured as one of the top "Hidden Gems In Florida."

With approximately 2,017 feet of direct river frontage and a natural sandy beach, the property controls a remarkable stretch of one of Florida’s most iconic waterways.

Positioned high above the river is a 2,610-square-foot, 3 bedroom, 4 bath elevated river lodge featuring vaulted wood ceilings, expansive windows capturing panoramic river views, a dramatic stone fireplace, and a wraparound porch that feels like a private treehouse overlooking the water.

The lodge blends rustic architecture with mid-century modern elements and serves as a stunning focal point for the property.

A rare asset associated with the property is a Florida Department of Environmental Protection sovereign submerged land lease covering approximately 22,609 square feet of the Suwannee River designated for a commercial swimming area. This established river recreation zone historically supported docks, platforms, and water activities and represents a highly uncommon opportunity to control permitted submerged land along the river.

The property previously operated as a well-known outdoor recreation destination and includes numerous existing improvements such as pavilions, gathering areas, and recreational spaces. These features create a strong foundation for continued recreational use, private retreat development, or hospitality concepts.

The expansive landscape offers a beautiful mix of mature trees, open spaces, and scenic river views with both sun and shade throughout the property.

Utilities include electric service, well water, septic systems, underground plumbing infrastructure, and fiber optic internet availability.

Located in Florida’s renowned spring region, the property is near several of the state’s most visited natural attractions including Ginnie Springs, Gilchrist Blue Springs, Poe Springs, and Rock Bluff Springs. Gainesville and Lake City are both within approximately 45 minutes, providing access to major amenities while preserving the property’s secluded and natural setting.

With nearly half a mile of Suwannee River frontage, an existing river lodge, established recreational infrastructure, and a state submerged land lease in place, this offering represents a truly rare opportunity to acquire a landmark riverfront property in one of Florida’s most sought-after outdoor destinations.
