Welcome to the neighborhood that has its on spring, "Bell Spring", where tranquility, privacy, and natural Florida beauty come together. If you’ve been seeking a peaceful retreat with character and charm, this storybook-style 1.05-acre property is the perfect match. As you arrive, the teardrop-shaped driveway winds gracefully through a park-like setting filled with mature trees, colorful gardens, and flowering plants. To the left, the well house provides irrigation to the landscaped areas, while a rain-barrel-fed side garden adds a sustainable touch. A new deck in the front of the home, new entry steps, and a rear patio offers another space to relax and take in the serene surroundings. To the right of the drive, a massive RV carport includes a 40-amp EV charging station, and beyond it lies a large workshop, perfect for hobbies or storage. Step inside from the front deck and you’re greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings and a custom paddle-step staircase leading to the loft. Upstairs, the loft is divided into two spaces — a private retreat and a bright art studio with a French balcony overlooking the backyard, complete with a convenient half bath. Back on the main level, you’ll find a cozy living area with a built-in office nook, a spacious dining area, and the primary suite just beyond. The kitchen impresses with newer panoramic windows, stainless-steel appliances, pull-out cabinetry, and open shelving for herbs and spices. All downstairs flooring has been replaced within the past four years. A laundry/mud room connects to both the rear deck and the side porch. About one-quarter of the property is fenced, ideal for pets or gardening. Inside the fenced area, you’ll find several fruit-bearing citrus trees and space to expand your garden — all while enjoying regular visits from local deer and wildlife. After a day outdoors, rinse off in the outdoor shower, then unwind around the firepit as the sun sets. Additional features include a water softener, water filtration system, and ample outdoor living spaces throughout. Optional membership in the Suwannee River Springs Association is just $35 per year, granting access to private riverfront parks, a boat launch, and exclusive fishing areas not open to the public. Located just 8 miles north of Chiefland, this Bell Spring gem offers a harmonious blend of nature, comfort, and charm — your chance to own a truly one-of-a-kind Fanning Springs retreat.
