Indian Spring dates back to the Timucua Indians and other indigenous tribes who traveled to the local fishing village and used this spring as a vital life-giving water source. Historians note that early villagers would bend the limbs of trees so that as they grew, they would point the way towards its refreshing waters. The crystal clear spring head flows into a thirty-foot wide limestone bottom pond outlined by a decorative concrete wall and channel (Indian Creek). Indian Creek flows through an adjoining preserve before reaching neighboring ponds and eventually entering the intercoastal waterways. Along its path, the high quality of freshwater contributes to a series of small but valuable fresh and saltwater ecological habitats. An abundance of wildlife in the area utilizes the property, its waters, and the adjoining preserve.

Floridas aquifers are the primary source (90%) of fresh water for most residents in Florida. Indian Spring is unique in its location as springs are uncommon this far south in Florida and situated in an urban setting. According to a recent study, the spring emits around one million gallons of freshwater per day, which qualifies it as a third-magnitude spring. A prior ten-year Water Use Permit (WUP) had been issued to harvest up to 60,000 gallons per day. It was never acted upon and expired in 2008.

In addition to the spring, the property features a three bedroom/three bathroom 2500+ sq. ft. residence comprised of two buildings 10 feet apart. The main structure has an open living/dining room, kitchen, master bedroom/bath, office, and a guest bathroom with access from inside or out. The West and south sides of the building have elevated covered porches with quite the view. The garage building offers a 28-foot wide garage with two 10-foot wide doors. It also includes two additional bedrooms, living space, and its own full bathroom. The current home location does not require Flood Insurance and will allow for further expansion. The property features developable land on both sides of the spring/pond, making this an attractive property for someone looking to create their dream home or have room for the family to live and play.

Indian Spring has flowed here since time has been recorded in the area and will continue to flow way past our time. Lay down your familys legacy here by owning such a rare historical natural Florida wonder.
