Features

A rare opportunity to secure one of the most unique build-ready parcels in Buchanan MI. A surveyed, perk tested mainland lot paired with its own private island on the St. Joseph River. 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 amenities! The mainland parcel 1.64-acres checks every box today's land buyers need to get started: buildable, surveyed, utilities established, and ready for immediate planning. Electric is connected, soils are approved, and the building site offers an ideal footprint overlooking the river, with a canal, and island view.

Across the canal sits your own waterfront extension, the 0.77-acre private island with a sand bar!. The island offers sandy edges, willow trees, a clearing with a trail area, and privacy. There is space to build on OR buy and enjoy immediately! Whether for recreation, additional docking, or creating a covered pavilion resort styled area.
The island is a lifestyle amenity rarely offered in this region.

Enjoy boating, floating, 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 the private patio deck and you are welcomed by a beautiful canal, wooded canopy, and boat dock area. Riverview seating that feels so exclusive you will be instantly transported 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.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy the River lifestyle and rights to say you have your very own private island + Land!
