Welcome to Blackwater, y'all! Tucked along the Florida–Georgia line on the most southern tip of Georgia, Blackwater is a 10+ acre private property surrounded by Georgia pines and the St. Mary’s River. Here, the days feel longer, the countryside invites you to slow down, unplug, and explore. Just 35 minutes from Jacksonville and an hour from St. Augustine, this peaceful compound boasts more than 1,300+ feet of riverfront. Over two acres of open field provide plenty of space to spread out, while the surrounding native woods capture that “Old Florida” feel. Across the river on the FL side, 150+ acres of protected preserve land ensure unspoiled views and total privacy. Whether you’re pitching a tent for a night under the stars or gathering with friends and family for a party/event beneath our 70' pavilion with electricity and water, Blackwater has something for everyone. Swim, fish, paddleboard, kayak, canoe, or launch a jon boat in the river. Just minutes away from St. Mary's Shoals "Equipedal" Park for a day of hiking, off-roading, and horseback trails, and our property sits near the edge of the Okefenokee Swamp, the largest blackwater swamp in North America, making it a unique destination for nature lovers. Frequently Asked Questions: Why is the river black? The water is rich with tannins from the Okefenokee Swamp, giving it a tea-colored appearance that is black in 1ft or more in depth Is the river water safe for swimming? Definitely! The water is free from agricultural runoff, pollutants, and silt, and it even possesses natural antibacterial properties Is the river rough on the feet? No, the property sits on an ancient 10,000+ year old beach dune called "Trail Ridge", featuring soft white quartz sand Does the river smell? Not at all How bad are the bugs? While we recommend bug/tick spray, mosquitoes/flies don’t overrun the property Are there wild animals? Yes, wild animals can make an appearance at any time Is hunting/shooting allowed? No, this is private property. BB guns and archery are okay with adult supervision. Family-friendly? Yes! But please note that there is no lifeguard on duty, so watch children closely, as river currents can be strong at times. *Swim at your own risk* Are there stores/restaurants nearby? Yes, plenty!

Sheehan Homestead is a small‑acre, education‑focused farm located in Callahan, FL, just outside Jacksonville. Our mission is to promote healing, growth, and sustainable living through meaningful interactions with nature . Visitors can expect a warm, hands‑on experience among our rescued and cherished animals—including goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, quail, Royal Palm turkeys, and gentle guardian dogs . We offer farm tours, interactive feeding sessions, and mobile petting‑zoo experiences—available both on site and brought to schools, events, or birthday parties. As hosts, Ann‑Marie (M.Ed. in STEM education) and Michael (Executive MBA, former corporate marketing professional) bring passion and purpose to every visit. You’ll learn about sustainable farming, composting, animal care, and the value of a slower, nature‑based lifestyle. On‑site visitors enjoy a relaxed rural setting with a port‑a‑potty, hand‑sanitizing stations, and limited parking (carpooling encouraged)  Depending on the day, you may encounter seasonal offerings like goat yoga, STEM enrichment, fresh cottage‑law foods, and the chance to see how our composting and upcycling practices support the farm . What to Expect: Friendly animals ready for interaction Educational discussions about sustainable living and caring for the land A peaceful, small‑farm atmosphere away from city noise Hands‑on experiences like feeding, holding, and learning about animals and homestead practices
