The Citrus County and Nature Coast area boasts eight, crystal clear spring fed rivers that flow into the Gulf of Mexico offering world class boating, fishing and swimming with the manatees. The area has hundreds of acres of national forest, ideal for hiking, biking or horse riding.

I did extensive research before I decided on a home in Black Diamond and in Citrus County. Let me put that research to work for you.
