​The St. Johns River is one of Florida’s natural wonders with an unsurpassed beauty like no other in our state. For generations the river has captivated hearts of those who have visited our state and is a constant reminder of authentic Florida to those who live here. Some of the earliest records of the River were recorded by William Bartram, early American naturalist and explorer. Even when traveling on the river today, it feels like stepping back in time to Florida’s rugged past when Native Americans roamed the banks and you would hear the distant cry of a wolf or panther after dark. 

For those who have lived on or near the St. Johns River, few would trade that experience for anything. Seizing the opportunity to enjoy the splendor of the jewel of Florida every day is something that many think is out of range. Although rare, there are sometimes affordable options for those who want to take advantage of all the river has to offer. 

For example, consider the listing at 2231 Hontoon Road in DeLand. This four bedroom and two bathroom home is located on a canal with access to the River within two minutes. Hontoon Island & Marina are only minutes away as well. 

The home also has the following features:
