About this property

Waterfront Cabin on Lake Swan, Melrose

  • Wake up to mist rising off the water. This beautifully preserved 1946 fishing cabin sits on 200 feet of private Lake Swan waterfront, tucked into a peaceful, park-like setting that feels worlds away — yet you're just 20 minutes from Gainesville.

    Spend your days paddling the lake in the complimentary kayaks and canoe, casting a line right from the shore, or simply relaxing on the screened lakeside porch with your morning coffee. Inside, vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and oversized windows fill the space with light and old-Florida charm, while a recently remodeled kitchen and bath bring modern comfort to the rustic setting.

    Perfect for a weekend escape, a fishing getaway, or a small family retreat.
