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 sandy edges, mature trees, a clearing with trail area. There is space to build on and enjoy here. Whether for recreation, additional docking, or create a covered pavilion resort 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.
