2.42 Acres with the mainland parcel (1.64 acres) checks every box today's land buyers prioritize: buildable, surveyed, utilities established, and ready for immediate planning. Electric is already connected, soils are approved, and the building site offers an ideal footprint overlooking the river, with a private canal, and island. Across the canal sits the 0.77-acre island. Your own waterfront extension. With sandy edges, mature trees, a clearing with trail area. There is space to build on and enjoy here. Whether for recreation, additional docks, or create a covered pavilion area. The island is a lifestyle amenity rarely offered in this region. Enjoy kayaking, fishing, beach lounging, or creating a destination gathering space for family and guests to picnic. This is a turnkey lifestyle package, complete with floating dock, pontoon, fishing boat, two canoes, lofted garage outbuilding. Access to the dock is found off the private deck with a Riverview seating area that will instantly transport you into the riverfront experience. This is a no HOA. Golf-cart-friendly community. Build with freedom or use as recreation. There are lending options for both uses. Located minutes from River St. Joe Brewery, Wineries, Fernwood Botanical Garden, Orchard Hills Country Club, and Buchanan's historic downtown. All just 11 miles to the pristine beaches of Lake Michigan. For those seeking a build-ready homesite with high recreational value. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy the river lifestyle and own your very own private island! Showings by appointment only. No Trespassing. Do not walk property without permission. Island access requires 24-hour notice for arranged transport (boat has been winterized for the season). If buyer-provided transport, this will still require agent accompaniment. SentriKey on outbuilding. Camper is available for purchase (winterized). Preliminary title opened with Meridian Title.
