Rustic Farmette on 3.86 Acres

Located in the heart of fast-growing St Johns County in the ever popular World Golf Village area lies this treasure of a property on Scaff road. With 3.86 acres, (two, 1-acre parcels of which could be subdivided and sold separately per the county) this country estate has everything you’d want in a rustic open farmette without actually having to sacrifice the convenience of the perfect location just minutes from shopping and within the boundaries of the best school district in Florida- St Johns County. The sprawling greens & quaint pond have matured with grace with the dedication of owners who have loved it just so.The spring fed pond is naturally maintained by special carp (licensed through the county) so that largemouth bass, blue gill, turtles and other beautiful creatures like blue herons and white egret call it home. “Happy Pond”, as the owners call it, is clean enough to kayak or take a dip after enjoying the childlike pleasure of plunging in from a rope swing or lounging in a hammock on its banks to watch. The property includes all the good things: a firepit, treehouse, zip line, playhouse/she shed, outdoor shower, restaurant quality grilling prep area with sink (in carport), above ground pool built into a recess for privacy, 2 spots for an RV with electric/water/sewer hook ups and fenced in chicken pen home to farm fresh egg layers.The house itself feels as if it has centuries old character with a wide-open light filled gathering space, a vaulted ceiling and reclaimed wood flooring from a distillery in Tennessee (@ 150 yrs old) and reflects the intent of the original owner/builder- a cabinet maker and his sons who had an eye for historic flare. The kitchen is equal parts practical and functional with open shelving, a fresh subway tile backsplash, ample counter space and a butcher block island that warms up the white look and adds age old charm. The cozy dining room features a custom rustic light fixture designed specifically for the space. The living quarters include one bedroom with a nearby full, skylit hall bath in one wing of the house. The other side includes a retreat like primary suite with a skylit bath and several closets. Nearby is a large laundry room with enough cabinetry and storage to make you feel like you’ll never have to deal with clutter. An enormous bedroom extends beyond which could easily be divided up further if a new owner so desired. This space has access to the front terrace through French doors. For those who cherish the indoor/outdoor lifestyle, this property does not disappoint. From the kitchen/living space one accesses the large covered back porch with plenty of space for lounging, dining and sipping a morning coffee. There are serene views from every angle of the house including some of the neighboring horses across the back perimeter of the yard.  With an extensive carport, plentiful shed space (including one used as an art studio) and the freedom of being zoned Open Rural, the property is like a dream. It’s sturdy as a fortress with a metal roof and hurricane shutters and it’s already equipped and wired to an security system that could be easily transferred.Entering 5150 Scaff is an opportunity to let the stress of the world melt away as soon as your tires hit the driveway. Let this be your enduring legacy- a timeless farmhouse like home that inspires togetherness, encourages peace through privacy, and invites all to fully appreciate and live in harmony with the beauty of nature.
