Features

For the very first time, a truly rare opportunity is available on the St. Joseph River! An exclusive two-parcel property pairing a build-ready mainland lot with a private island retreat. 1,418 feet of pristine river frontage, this package is as much a lifestyle as it is a legacy investment. The 1.64-acre mainland parcel has been thoughtfully prepared for new construction. Surveyed, perk-tested, and with electric service already connected, it is ready to bring your vision to life. Whether that's a striking modern estate, a timeless vacation home, or an investment rental retreat, you are sure to find serenity here. Across it's private canal lies the 0.77-acre island: a sanctuary of sandy shoreline, wooded privacy, and unrivaled recreation. Here, life slows down. Spend mornings fishing at the water's edge, afternoons kayaking or lounging on your own beach, and evenings gathered around a fire with friends under starlit skies. This property is turnkey, complete with a floating dock, pontoon boat, motorized fishing boat, two canoes, two outbuildings, a nearly new camper, and a deck seating area. Everything you need to start enjoying the river lifestyle immediately. Additional benefits include no homeowners' association to restrict your vision and golf carts permitted throughout the area. The property balances seclusion with incredible convenience. Just minutes from River St. Joe Brewery, Dablon Vineyards, Tabor Hill, and Round Barn Winery. Nearby attractions also include the beloved Fernwood Botanical Garden, Orchard Hills Country Club, and the Bar Cave & Waterfall. Buchanan's historic downtown is just a short drive, and Lake Michigan's sandy beaches are only 11 miles away. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or a unique income-generating retreat, East River Road offers unmatched potential and a truly one-of-a-kind lifestyle.
