This funky 1930s forest cottage is on the market in Central Florida for $1.4 million

A funky Florida home with plenty of history and artistic charm is now on the market.

The home, located at 603 Front St. in Welaka, was originally built in 1930 and sits just between the 387,000 acres of the Ocala National Forest and the St. Johns River.

Remodeled in 2017, the home offers modern amenities and historical charm with its one-of-a-kind architectural design and features like custom stained glass, reclaimed wood beams and panoramic windows. There are two bedrooms, three bathrooms and two studios or offices spread across 1,000 square feet.

The estate’s versatile location and design — and zoning permits — allow it to be used as a shop, restaurant, recording studio or “artist sanctuary,” according to the listing. It really would be the perfect place to escape society.

Outside, the home is surrounded by gardens, 100-year-old oak canopy and plenty of Florida wildlife. There’s private deck access to the river, as well as six boat slips.

The home is listed for $1,400,000 and is being sold by Mazie Regan.
