Property Details
Remarks
Welcome to Moonwake — a rare and enchanting historic retreat on Drayton Island, where time slows, nature surrounds, and Old Florida charm meets extraordinary craftsmanship.Tucked away on the peaceful shores of Lake George and accessible only by private boat or the island ferry, Moonwake is more than a property — it’s a destination, a legacy, and a lifestyle. Designed in the late 1800s by renowned American designer Gustav Stickley, this one-of-a-kind estate is a masterpiece of rustic architecture and timeless design. The main home offers 5 bedrooms and 2 baths, beautifully curated with original Stickley touches and furnished with select authentic Stickley pieces that will convey with the sale. Rare for historic Florida homes, Moonwake features a true concrete-floor basement, adding both storage and structural integrity. A charming separate structure—known as the Cook’s House—provides an additional 1 bedroom and 1 bath. Currently operating as a highly successful 5-star Airbnb, this guest cottage generates over $20,000 annually, making it a perfect blend of personal retreat and income opportunity. Step outside and you’ll discover grounds designed to inspire: a vibrant butterfly and pollination garden, towering oaks dripping in Spanish moss, and open skies that glow at sunset—where “Moonwake” earns its name as moonlight shimmers across the lake. An all-house generator ensures comfort and security year-round, while a pontoon boat conveys with the property, offering immediate adventure on Florida’s second-largest lake. The included boat slip at the Drayton Island RV Resort is transferable, adding unmatched convenience for island living. Situated on agriculturally zoned land, Moonwake offers uncommon privacy, natural beauty, and a chance to own a true piece of Florida history. Whether you’re seeking a serene homestead, an exclusive getaway, or an income-producing island escape, Moonwake invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience the unforgettable magic of Drayton Island.
