3294 HIGHWAY 277, VERNON | PADDLE OUT YOUR BACK DOOR Right next door, paddlers are loading up at Cypress Springs Canoe Adventures for the short float down Holmes Creek to Cypress Springs, where the water turns that famous spring-fed clear. The outfitter handling the launch is steps away, making the springs a less-than-a-mile kayak trip rather than a drive-and-unload production. This is life on Highway 277 in Vernon, minutes from Holmes Creek and Vernon Springs, the kind of quiet that makes people drive out from Panama City just to visit, let alone live. Inside, the split floor plan keeps everyone's space their own, anchored by a primary suite with a sitting area and a generously sized, tiled walk-in shower. A bonus room flexes to whatever the next chapter calls for: home office, playroom, gear room for all that paddling equipment next door. Out back and up front, covered porches do double duty as the real living space for most of the year, the kind of wraparound indoor-outdoor flow this corner of Washington County was made for. A newer metal roof and low-maintenance vinyl siding keep the to-do list short, so the focus stays on the lifestyle, not the upkeep. Vernon's volunteer fire station sits under two miles away, a quiet point of reassurance for anyone used to weighing distance to help against distance from it all. And for buyers thinking beyond a homestead, this one's short-term-rental-friendly, perfectly positioned to capture the steady stream of visitors heading to the springs. This is a home for someone ready to make the springs part of their daily life rather than their vacation. 3294 Highway 277, Vernon, FL 32462 | 4 beds, 2 baths, 2,052 sq ft
