Hunters Cove in Crystal River is arguably one of the best spots to view manatees in the wild, especially in the colder months — and now a rare home with direct access to the freshwater spring lagoon is on the market.
Located at 236 3rd St., the one-story, 1,500-square-foot home was built in 1940, and was impacted quite a bit by Hurricane Helene last September. But the real value here is the lot.
Hunter’s Cove is a 10-acre body of fresh water within the city of Crystal River and is part of the first magnitude Kings Bay freshwater spring system, which is an extremely popular location for birds, fish and manatees.
Homes on Hunter’s Cove rarely come on the market, though one did sell last May for $2.4 million.
This one is currently asking $1.3 million, and the listing agent is Margaret “Maggie” Moore of Coldwell Banker Next Generation Realty.
