Overview

Welcome to Flip-Flop Farm, your private retreat nestled on 10 lush acres with a beautiful year-round creek. You’ll be captivated by a long, scenic driveway leading to a host of Grand Oak trees. But you’ll fall in love with the Old South wrap-around porch that invites you to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath Florida farmhouse is full of character, yet it’s been updated with modern comforts. Inside, the open floor plan offers a spacious family room with stunning wood-beam ceilings, an inviting dining area, and a farmhouse-style kitchen equipped with modern conveniences. The large primary bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, while the second and third bedrooms are generously sized for family or guests. Enjoy the protection of the seven-years-young metal roof and the peace of mind of a newer HVAC system. Even better, you’ll love the energy savings thanks to the nearby pole barn equipped with fully owned solar panels that power the entire home and sell excess power back to the utility company. Often, watch your electric meter run backward! This lovely 10-acre property offers an abundance of fun opportunities for the whole family, with year-round Gamble Creek providing a glimpse of old Florida from the distant past. The A-1 zoning allows for horses, cows, goats and as many turtles as you can find in the creek. The owners have enjoyed seeing eagles, red-tailed hawks, barn owls, and even a doe and her fawns that visit just about every spring. With less traffic than the nearby highway, Jim Davis Road offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. This property is ideal for those seeking country living with sustainable touches and timeless farmhouse style, all while being a few miles from modern grocery stores, shops and many restaurant choices. Boating enthusiasts will love that they can park large boats on the property and then find great fishing and adventures only 5.4 miles away at the Fort Hamer boat ramp. Come and see Flip-Flop Farm to discover old Florida living is still alive and well — with all the modern conveniences you’ve come to enjoy.
