    About this House

    Some investments pay dividends.

    Others pay in opening mornings, campfire stories, and fish tales that somehow get bigger every year.

    If you've ever dreamed of owning your own hunting camp instead of paying annual dues to hunt someone else's land, this is your chance.

    Nestled on 11.06 acres just outside Jacksonville, this recreational retreat offers the freedom to create your own traditions. Follow the game trails through mature hardwoods, settle into the elevated hunting cabin before sunrise, spend the afternoon casting a line into the winding creek, and end the day watching the sun disappear from the wraparound deck.

    The cabin is ready for your next adventure with bunk beds, a propane stove, and a strategically planted persimmon tree within bow range. Deer, turkey, bass, bluegill, and the quiet that only the outdoors can provide are all part of the experience.

    Land like this isn't just measured in acres--it's measured in seasons. In opening days. In stories told around the fire. In weekends you'll look forward to all year long.

    Stop paying for memories on someone else's property.

    Start building them on your own.

      "It’s shocking seeing rent become so high in certain neighborhoods in Jacksonville. I have never in a million years thought I’d see duplexes in New River going for $1100! And Town Center apartments being over $1300 a month! That is ridiculous. Rentals in that area were between 550-700. That is so sad."

      "It’s mind blowing to see Jacksonville’s rent prices skyrocket. Duplexes surrounding the New River neighborhood use to be 595-700 a month and now they are in the high 900’s and 1,000’s. That is so sad. I never thought I’d see the day where rentals on Starling St and York St and other streets are 1000-1200. That is RIDICULOUS for that area."

      "I'm not aware of community events besides Halloween but the people are friendly and there is a few schools very close to the actual neighborhood. I have never had any issues living here and it has been a very safe environment so far from the time that I have lived here. I am very happy with everything except the roads which are bumpy and some potholes. These items get taken care of throughout the year."
