Crystal River comprises a part of Citrus County, also known as Florida’s Nature Coast. Located along the Gulf of Mexico, Citrus County offers the best of two contrasting worlds: modern, city-like living, and a quiet haven for nature-lovers alike.

Waterfront property abounds throughout the area. With seven rivers snaking through the county, including the spring-fed Crystal River, beautiful King’s Bay, and a peppering of peaceful lakes and clear springs, you are certain to find your ideal waterfront home. Further, enjoy the water’s tranquility with peace of mind of having made a solid real estate investment.

The Gulf of Mexico, King’s Bay, and the Crystal River are all home to an assortment of wildlife. Pelicans and cormorants are frequently seen skimming above the surface of the water or splaying their wings in the warm sun. Largemouth bass, catfish, sea trout, and redfish make for great fishing. Citrus County is also the winter home of the manatee. These docile aquatic mammals migrate from gulf waters right into the Crystal River and King’s Bay. Don’t be alarmed to see a spray of water burst from the surface as you gaze from your new waterfront home-it’s a manatee, enjoying the water just as much as you!

How about a round of golf at some of Florida’s finest golf courses? Better yet, how about living on one of these courses? Black Diamond Ranch offers three challenging courses at its private club. El Diablo, the Plantation Inn, and Skyview at Citrus Hills provide pristine fairways and greens and thick rough to test any golfer’s skills. Don’t forget nearby World Woods, with its #1 ranked practice facility in the United States and world-famous Oaks and Barren Pines courses.
