Blackwater is a 10+ acre private riverfront retreat at Georgia’s southernmost edge, sitting directly on the Florida–Georgia line. Though the land is in Georgia, your view looks straight into Florida, across more than 150 acres of protected, undeveloped preserve. No visible neighbors. No noise. Just open sky, quiet dark waters, and complete privacy.
Surrounded by Georgia pines, palmettos, wild blueberries, bald cypress, and towering 150+ year-old Southern live oaks, Blackwater blends multiple Southern ecosystems into one rare setting. The property feels far larger than its acreage, featuring a 2+ acre open grassy field perfect for camping, games, gatherings, or simply unplugging.
Secluded, yet convenient, just 35 minutes from Jacksonville and about 1 hour from St. Augustine.
🌊 The River Is the Star
Blackwater sits on the St. Marys River, a rain-fed freshwater river flowing from the Okefenokee Swamp. Natural tannins give the water its famous sweet-tea color, darker in deeper sections, crystal clear along the shore.
✔️ Clean and safe for swimming
✔️ Naturally antibacterial
✔️ No pollutants or runoff
✔️ No smell, mud, or rocks
✔️ Soft white quartz sugar-sand bottom
The property rests on an ancient 10,000+ year-old beach dune (Trail Ridge), creating one of the best swimming spots on the river. In warmer months, guests love the sugar-sand beach for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing.
