This is waterfront living at its very best.

If your dream home includes a backyard oasis and an incomparable view, then this is the listing for you. 5147 Dixie Landing Drive in Jacksonville, a 5-bedroom mansion on over 4 acres of land, is currently listed by Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices for $8,995,000.

Visitors will drive up on a gravel lane, through acres of mature trees dripping with Spanish moss. 

Inside, the home is decidedly modern, the perfect backdrop for your art collection. Light comes streaming in from endless windows, creating a dramatic entryway that leads to a generous open floorplan. Parties will flow organically throughout the space, making this a great home for anyone who loves to entertain.

The gourmet kitchen has a unique layout with three parallel work surfaces. There will be no shortage of prep space for those big holiday dinners.

Meals can be served in the sunny breakfast nook or the formal dining room. There is plenty of space to relax over dinner, no matter how many people you invite.

After you're done eating, take the private elevator down to the cozy home theater and grab a bottle or two from the wine cellar.

Out back, the extensive pool deck will be a favorite spot with all of your visitors on those sunny Florida days. Just imagine how epic your pool parties could be!

The boater in the family will appreciate the wooden deep-water dock. A special second-story platform provides the perfect place for your morning coffee or sunrise yoga. The property is located just minutes from the Atlantic, on the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway.
