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 Rd., the home was built in 1974 and sits directly on the crystal clear, manatee-preferred Weeki Wachee River.

The cement block home comes with 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.

Every house has a story, and our mission is to tell Tampa Bay’s story through the lens of our community’s historic and colorful homes. Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s real estate features are not ads, and are strictly operated through our editorial department. But we love public input. Do you know of a unique Florida home that we should highlight? Let us know, and email cwolf@cltampa.com.
