Wewahitchka keeps its own time. This is tupelo honey country, where the Dead Lakes hold their cypress shadows and the Chipola River runs slow and dark through the swamp. Life moves at the pace of a Sunday afternoon, and 341 Old Transfer Road fits right into it, set on two-thirds of an acre in town under a canopy of big live oaks. The home is a single-story, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath build with 1,468 heated square feet under a metal roof, with a covered front porch. Luxury vinyl plank flooring carries through every room, board and batten walls give the interior warmth and character. A painted brick wood-burning fireplace with a heavy wood mantel anchors the living room. The kitchen opens to it, with a peninsula for casual meals, quartz countertops, and stainless appliances including a refrigerator with ice maker. One full bath has a vanity with a glass tile backsplash and a walk-in shower. Outside, the lot is deep and generous, with mature oaks for shade and plenty of open ground for a garden, a workshop, or simply room to breathe. The property sits in flood zone X. Port St. Joe and the Gulf are roughly 25 miles south. Panama City is about 40 miles west. Closer to home there's Dead Lakes Park, river landings for a morning on the water, and the Tupelo Honey Festival every spring. It's the Forgotten Coast's quiet inland side.
