    What's special

    Welcome to 18527 Hwy 231 - where historic charm meets modern homestead living. Situated on 1.6 acres just north of Panama City in the peaceful town of Fountain, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers a rare blend of character, functionality, and room to roam. Originally serving as an overnight boarding house for the railway system, the home still showcases its timeless roots with original hardwood floors, tongue and groove ceilings, and a decorative fireplace that recalls its rich past. The spacious kitchen is a true highlight--designed for both daily living and entertaining. Enjoy the convenience of two cooktops (including induction), a pot filler, a deep single basin sink with a glass washing station, and a separate vegetable sink on the island. Storage is no issue with multiple closets throughout the home and two pantries--including one walk-in--to keep everything organized and accessible. The master bedroom and en-suite bath are ready for the new owner to personalize and make their own, offering a blank canvas for your vision. Outside, the property is a budding homesteader's dream--complete with a chicken coop, two sheds, and honey bees (available to stay if desired). If you're seeking a home with history, heart, and the potential to live a more intentional lifestyle, this one is truly a must-see.
