Rare opportunity on the St. Johns River! Situated directly on the river along desirable Heckscher Drive, this waterfront property offers an incredible location for investors, contractors, builders, or buyers looking for the perfect site to create their dream riverfront home. The existing home has undergone renovations that were not permitted and do not meet current code requirements. Buyers wishing to retain or rehabilitate the structure will be responsible for bringing the property into compliance with applicable code requirements and obtaining all necessary permits. Ideally, start fresh and build a custom home designed to take full advantage of this incredible waterfront setting. Boaters will appreciate navigable water with access to the ocean just minutes away, making it easy to enjoy fishing, boating, and everything the Northeast Florida waterways have to offer. The Heckscher Drive corridor is known for its waterfront lifestyle, with nearby public boat ramps, waterfront restaurants, state parks, nature preserves, beaches, and outdoor recreation. The location also offers a great balance of waterfront living and convenience-Amelia Island is approximately 20 minutes away, and Jacksonville International Airport is also approximately 20 minutes away. Whether your vision is a renovation project, investment opportunity, or a brand-new riverfront retreat, bring your contractor, your plans, and your vision to this unique St. Johns River property!
