250 W West Lake Drive Hawthorne, FL 32640

Charming, serene, lakefront sanctuary with clean air and water on 4.07 wooded acres
maintained using organic principles by single owner for 45 years. Centrally located to
St. Augustine Beach and Gainesville, this spring-fed lake property offers a perfect blend
of natural beauty and recreational opportunities, such as fishing, canoeing, paddleboarding
and swimming. Five freestanding buildings with screened decks and porches accommodate
6 or more residents or serve as art studios or business quarters. 4 full bathrooms, 1 outdoor
shower, 2 wells, and a 16,000-gal screened-in saltwater pool and hot tub ringed with an artful
brick paver deck. Acreage is fenced and bamboo-lined on two sides with lakefront comprising a
third side. A half-acre organic vegetable garden, herb beds, and flowering plants thrive along with
over fifty mature avocado, citrus, pomegranate, loquat, banana, guava, kiwi, persimmon
and other fruit trees that dot the property. Stately Live Oaks, longleaf pines, and
flowering trees and plants lovingly tended in mulched beds or on trellises guarantee that
something is always in bloom and edible. Statuaries, birdfeeders, and
hand-crafted tilework, walkways, wooden flooring and collectables dazzle at every turn
in the buildings and along walkways. This is a magical property that has good karma.
It is scented with ginger, orange blossom, and jasmine that attract butterflies and wildlife,
and would be ideal for community living, retirement, extended family, art studios, AirBnb
units, recreation, or a cottage industry.
