Get ready to fall in love with these 6 acres of history, charm & endless possibilities in the heart of Riverview. Spanning 6 acres of picturesque land, this unique property offers an extraordinary combination of history, charm, and versatility. With ASC-1 zoning (Agricultural, Single-Family, 1 Acre Minimum), the possibilities are endless—you can enjoy a private estate, create a multi-generational homestead, raise horses or small livestock, or run certain home-based businesses while maintaining the property’s residential character. The acreage, dual access points, and two on-site utility poles open the door for ventures like a charming tea room, a workshop, an Airbnb retreat, or simply preserving it as a rare and peaceful slice of Riverview’s past. Recent updates ensure both charm and peace of mind: metal roof replaced in 2011 with Galvalume metal and hurricane strapping, flat roof added in 2025 with a 25-year warranty, upgraded AC mini-splits upstairs (2017), new downstairs AC unit (2023) with a 12-year warranty, electrical panel box replaced in 2019, and a Rheem water heater installed in 2021.If the stunning grandfather oaks could talk, they’d share captivating stories from Riverview’s early days, when the area was a bustling hub for pine milling. Today, the same location is just minutes from vibrant restaurants, top-rated schools, and world-class medical facilities, offering the perfect blend of country living and city convenience. Built in 1910 by master carpenter James L. Hackney as his personal residence, the home was crafted to stand the test of time—no shortcuts taken. When it changed hands in 1952, its new owner, an employee of GE, infused it with the latest modern conveniences of the era. Inside, you’ll find five bedrooms, including the primary suite on the main floor, a spacious great room, and a large Florida sunroom just off the kitchen—perfect for gathering with family and friends. Step outside to explore the naturally manicured grounds, bursting with tropical flowers, and take a peaceful stroll around the backyard pond, where Mother Nature displays her most beautiful, untouched side. Opportunities like this are rare. Here’s your chance to own not just a home, but a remarkable piece of Riverview’s history. Conveniently located north of the Alafia River, this property is just 10 minutes from a boat ramp on the river and offers easy access to the Crosstown Expressway and I-75 entrance ramp. Situated just past Bloomingdale on US-301, you’ll enjoy both peaceful country living and quick connectivity to everything Riverview and the surrounding area have to offer.
