Sanctuary Meadows is a 19+/- acre recreation and Social Storm property located in Jefferson County, Florida. This property sits right in the heart of the Red Hills region. Sanctuary Meadows is connected to Lake Drain, the southern water flow of Lake Miccosukee. This unique property promotes and sustains a wide variety of wildlife throughout the 19 acres. Lake Drain directly feeds the 3-acre pond on the property, creating an abundance of fish within Sanctuary Meadows. The direct flow of water through the Florida Aquifer yields beautiful, clear water throughout the year. Lake Miccosukee is located just a few miles north of the property. The aquatic vegetation habitat attracts some of the highest concentrations of migrating waterfowl in North Florida, as well as brood-rearing habitat for wood ducks. Wood ducks continually use this small 3-acre pond as a refuge from the larger, more active Lake Miccosukee.
Sanctuary Meadows is also located less than 12 miles from Tallahassee East, and just a few miles from the I-10 interchange in Lloyd. This prime location allows easy access to the capital citys restaurants and shopping. With a property less than 20 minutes from Tallahassee East, one of the fastest-growing areas in North Florida, you are the perfect distance from all of the growth and activity while also far enough away to enjoy the calm and quiet beauty of Sanctuary Meadows.
