A rare Weeki Wachee spring house hits the market for $799K

A rare spring-adjacent Florida home is for sale, and it sits on the banks of arguably one of the most touristy rivers in the Tampa Bay area.

Located in Weeki Wachee Gardens at 6090 Waverly Road, the home was built in 1974 and sits directly on the crystal-clear, manatee-preferred Weeki Wachee River.

The cement block home has 1,114 square feet of living space and features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as ceramic plank flooring, stainless-steel appliances, butcher-block countertops, and 80 feet of river frontage overlooking the Weeki Wachee Preserve.

As anyone who's floated by this house before will tell you, the spring-side location is really what's for sale here. The house is uniquely located just slightly downstream from the popular diving spot Hospital Hole. Up the river a bit further is Weeki Wachee State Park.

The Weeki Wachee river house is currently asking $799,900, and the listing agent is Gregory S. Klesius of Gulf Coast Fishing Homes Realty.
