Welcome to “The Reid House”, a historic luxury waterfront residence. Built circa 1850 and scheduled for demolition in 1990, it was moved downriver by barge to its current, private location. Its historical integrity has been retained and the updates are impeccable. Venetian plaster enhances the original lathe and plaster walls, period glass panes adorn sash windows and the gorgeous heart of pine flooring gives a feeling of warmth and comfort. This magnificent estate home boasts a beautiful and meticulous restoration, with many period details restored to their original condition. The two electronic security entrances bring you to a circular driveway. There, the front brick walkway introduces you to the lush surroundings that include a private canal for harboring your yacht, outside seating areas, extensive landscaping, rock fountain, a koi pond, and a caretaker’s quarters. Surrounded by orange groves and moss-laden trees, this lovingly restored waterfront property is an oasis of delight for nature lovers, yachtsmen or serious fisherman with an appreciation of history and a taste for elegance. This estate can be either enjoyed as is or altered to suit your vision. The original porch swing still graces the plantation style porch. The gracious grand staircase in the main foyer beckons with the promise of comfort you want. And the updated kitchen and baths provide the comfort you expect – and deserve! Period charm, riverfront elegance, and modern comforts make this the perfect retreat for a discriminating owner. Special touches include original shutters and doors, windows glazed with period glass, enchanting tin roof and beautiful heart of pine floors. Imagine the end of the day, after a successful largemouth bass fishing trip on the St. Johns River. The front porch and two decks provide choice to enjoy an iced tea or lemonade or that evening cocktail. The word “retreat” must have been penned after a trip to "The Reid House" at Browns Landing! Make your dreams come true. Make the Browns Landing estate "Your Piece of Paradise"!
