Description

At Sandy Bottom River Retreat you will find 8 acres of beautiful Florida woodlands, wetlands, and the river all in one place for you and your pup(s) to play and explore! There are tons of different sensory elements for you and your pup(s) to find throughout Sandy Bottom! Including but not limited to: 🌼 Wildflowers 🐓 Chicken Coop 🌲 Tree Swings 🦌 Wildlife 🐾 Trails 🐟 Fish 👃 Scents 🦋 Butterfriends 🔥 Firepits Our property is nestled on the river and is typically crystal clear, shallow and sandy bottomed; During the rainy season (July-Oct), the river becomes deep and dark colored, this can happen other times of the year as well when there is heavy rain for several days. It is very uncommon to see Alligators in the river where we are at but not impossible, and if you're lucky, on a rare occasion you might catch sight of river otter! However, usually the most you will see in the river is fish. 💩 Waste bags and disposal bin provided ❓ ~ If you ever have questions, please don't hesitate to ask, we are happy to answer questions! 👙 We are CO friendly! We work closely with several specialty professionals and also offer: 📸 Photo Sessions 🎪 Events 🏕️ Camping 💍 Weddings 🐕‍🦺 Dog Training Sessions 🧘 Personal Training & Rehabilitation 🕑 Hourly, nightly, weekly, and monthly rates. 🍃☮️💙 Thank you and happy trails! 💚🐕🌲 📲📞💻 Social Media & Contact: https://linktr.ee/sandybottomriverretreat?utm_source=linktree_admin_share

Oak & Pond 5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Yard in Parrish

Fully Fenced
5 acres

This 5 acre private, fully fenced Sniffspot offers a peaceful and secure environment with plenty of room to run, sniff, play in the pond and explore. The property is quiet and private. It is fully fenced & very secure which is perfect for reactive, anxious, or escape-prone dogs. We have a GSP who is an escape artist, and we've made sure it's safe for her. There are tons of oak trees + natural shade which makes the property cool, comfortable, and relaxing. Our dogs love the property so much we wanted to share it with others. There is a pond on the property so dogs can sniff around, swim and enjoy the natural setting. There is a fountain and fish in the pond (primarily Blue Gill and Catfish). We have never seen any gators on the property. They would have to climb the 6 foot fence to get in. Great for multi-dog families. There is enough room for everyone to run free! The property is set back a little from the road. It feels very peaceful. 🕒 Open Daily 6AM to 8PM. Repeat guests who are great with the property can request access to the pool. The yard is treated regularly for fire ants by a professional fire ant company. It is rare to find fire ants on the property. We did this to protect our own pets. There are ant hills present, but they are not fire ants. The pond is maintained by a pond company. Depending on the time of year, the water level and number of Lilly pads (and other vegetation) in the pond changes. 💧 Amenities Water available Seating for owners Easy parking Quiet, natural environment Two hoses for bathing. Bring your own bowls, shampoo, and towels. :) Pool and lanai access - as an extra upon request for repeat, courteous guests :) We hope you enjoy the property as much as we do!
