Dating back to 1895, this remarkable period mansion was built by Simeon Strickland after he constructed the historic Wesley House for his daughter. The Wesley house is located in the neighboring 163 acre Eden Garden State Park, overlooking Choctawhatchee Bay. The Strickland house was home to multiple generations of Strickland family descendants, including a daughter who served as the postmistress throughout the 20th century. The Point Washington post office, originally a lumber mill office for the Wesley family, dating back to 1936, is located on the property. It still showcases the postal boxes, but allows flexibility for a new owner to create a special space reflective of their interests.

Boat lovers will appreciate the proximity to Tucker Bayou, accessed from the nearby Point Washington boat ramp on Highway 395. This beautiful period property deserves to be appreciated and enjoyed as a magnificent legacy family home.
