Features

St. Joseph River Waterfront X2 - BUILDABLE MAINLAND LOT + PRIVATE ISLAND OASIS
2 waterfront parcels combined and ready for immediate use!
A rare opportunity to secure one of the most unique build-ready parcels in Buchanan MI.

Properties like this simply don't come to market! Neighboring the well-known Bachelors Island, you will find this 2.42-acre gem with even better amenity access!

The mainland parcel offers an oversized 1.64-acre buildable lot with 221+ feet of waterfront and checks every box today's land buyers need to get started: surveyed, utilities established, and ready for planning. Across the canal sits your 2nd waterfront extension, a 0.77-acre private island featuring over 474 feet of waterfront, sandy edges, willow trees, and a trail clearing from the shore to the canal. The island offers space for recreation, additional docking, gatherings, or the potential to create a pavilion or retreat-style setting. A rare lifestyle amenity not often found in this region. Enjoy the river from day one! This turnkey lifestyle package includes a custom 50-foot floating Poly dock system, a 22-foot Godfrey Sweetwater pontoon boat with Yamaha 50HP high-output outboard motor with electric start, one motorized fishing boat, two canoes, and an insulated Amish-built lofted cottage unit with stairs that can be used for storage, recreation, or potential overnight use.
Access to your private patio deck is situated along the canal, where a wooded canopy provides shade and a peaceful setting. The canal offers protection from river currents and creates an ideal environment for boating, floating, kayaking, fishing, sandbar lounging, and entertaining.
This is a no-HOA, golf-cart-friendly community where you can build with flexibility or enjoy the property immediately for recreation.
Located just minutes from River St. Joe Brewery, local wineries, Fernwood Botanical Garden, Orchard Hills Country Club, and Buchanan's historic downtown, shopping area, and an open air concert events center. Only 11 miles to the pristine beaches of Lake Michigan, and approximately 20 miles to the University of Notre Dame.
A truly once-in-a-lifetime find for SW MI waterfronts!
