The plantation house and cottage may be long gone, but the Southern vibe is still abundant at 6975 Old Church Road in Fleming Island. Built in 1955, the 4,077-square-foot brick ranch home is perched at the edge of the St. Johns River on 5.65 acres of property once part of Hibernia, the original home of the Fleming family, for whom the island is named. The home is listed for $2,850,000.
