Chattahoochee's captivating history

Atop high bluffs along the banks of the Apalachicola River in North Florida and straddling the Florida-Georgia state line, Chattahoochee exudes southern charm in every way. While it may be a small town, this rural community in the Sunshine State treats residents to a vibrant downtown, a unique, preserved heritage and abundant outdoor recreation. Established as Mount Vernon in the 1820s, this scenic river city has been at the center of it all – from being the site for Native American mound complexes and trade centers, a thriving riverboat port, one of the first observatories, a major railroad junction and a landmark Supreme Court case involving the historic Florida State Hospital. Built on a former arsenal site used during the Seminole Wars and the Civil War, the Florida State Hospital Administration building played a pivotal role in this town’s legacy and is not only on the National Register of Historic Places but the city’s largest employer.

Charming historic and modern abodes

Chattahoochee’s southern-style rustic atmosphere extends to its housing landscape. The peaceful neighborhood offers single-family, Florida-style bungalows, stately colonials, brick ranch-style homes and farmhouses on the outskirts. Most were built in the 1950s, ranging from $120,000 to $245,000. However, there are some homes dating back to 1906 that have recently been renovated, but most of the historic, charming features remain untouched. Residents enjoy large, covered porches and spacious lots spanning up to 2 acres.
