A Quiet Two Near DeFuniak Springs, Wetlands in the Back

OWNER FINANCING AVAILABLE: $2000 down (plus the $500 doc fee) $495/mo for 78 months --------------------------------- Two Acres, a Creek, and the Quiet That Comes with Both Walk this property from the front and the first half feels like most of the sandy wooded country in this part of Florida: cottonwood, magnolia, pine, and a floor soft enough to hear your own boots on. Keep walking and Battle Creek shows up near the midpoint, which is the kind of surprise most two-acre parcels don't have the budget for. The back end runs into wetland from there, which means the creek has company and you have a natural fence line the county protects for you. On the honest-dirt side, access is not the easiest part of this parcel. The legal platted access is overgrown to the point that it's mostly a line on a map, so most people come in from Watson Lane on foot and cross Battle Creek to walk the southern reach. Cell service is one bar at the parcel, voice calls only, so plan on a hotspot or Starlink if you need internet. No power or water runs to the lot today, and neighbors are sparse enough that a direct tap is a longer conversation with the utility than it would be closer to town. The wetlands in the back 60% are wildlife country and state-regulated, meaning they stay the way they are, which is the point. Florida does quiet differently than most places. The loud pockets get written about and the rest just sit there, wet and wooded, with a creek running through somebody's two acres. A piece like this is somewhere you put a small house, a porch, a couple of good chairs, and let the years do what they're going to do.
