A mobile home in rough condition. A detached block building that\u2019s seen better days. A property being sold as-is.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"517\" data-end=\"582\">But look a little closer, and a different picture begins to form.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"584\" data-end=\"587\" \/>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"t2inen\" data-start=\"589\" data-end=\"621\">Where Land Meets Opportunity<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"799\">Set on approximately 1.7 acres, this property offers something increasingly difficult to find: a combination of usable land, water access, and road frontage\u2014all in one package.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"801\" data-end=\"1083\">With roughly 144 feet of river frontage and 143 feet of road frontage (per deed), it balances seclusion with accessibility. The land gently slopes toward the river, creating a natural flow that invites everything from quiet mornings by the water to future development possibilities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1104\">It\u2019s not just land.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1106\" data-end=\"1124\">It\u2019s a foundation.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1129\" \/>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"disuv6\" data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1187\">The Existing Structures: Challenge or Starting Point<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1343\">The property includes a mobile home and a detached block building. Neither is move-in ready. In fact, both require substantial work\u2014possibly even removal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1410\">But for the right buyer, that\u2019s not a drawback.

This isn\u2019t a high-traffic recreational hotspot\u2014it\u2019s something calmer, more personal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1995\" data-end=\"2021\">You can picture it easily:<\/p>\n<ul
