Re-live a unique aspect of rural Florida life in the Town of Pierson, "Fern Capital of the World," a town settled in 1876 & heavily reliant on agriculture. Many pilots visit this quaint town via the 147 acre Pierson Municipal Airport w/1 operational runway for single engine aircraft. (GPS: Lat: 29.249978, Lng: -81.459236) Shaw family owned since 1913, this old Florida family estate is situated on 6 acres w/orange groves, hammocks & lake with riparian rights & a dock. Many of the original out-buildings are still standing. Picture setting up preserves from your own kitchen garden in the food cache/cellar (YES, I said cellar!). Or a fish fry in the ole boat house. Woodworking in the ole tin roof barn w/attached workshop once used as a bunk room. Make a wish at the original well. Spring forward to the 21st century, the original 300 sf Cracker home was expanded in 1972 to a three bedroom, 2 bath home with inside laundry, family room with fireplace, dining room and eat in kitchen with a bay window breakfast nook over looking the lake. Complete kitchen appliance package including deep freeze, washer & dryer. All plumbing and electrical has been updated with the most recent upgrades and renovations in 2005. There is also a detached over sized two car garage w/yet another workshop. And the fifth out-building is dedicated to storage.
