Rare opportunity to own a unique parcel offering two distinct potential build sites with scenic surroundings and flexible R15 zoning. This surveyed property has clearly flagged corners and is divided by River Road, creating separate west and east build areas while remaining one parcel. The east side features a completed soil evaluation approved for a 2-bedroom peat septic system, has been recently mulched. R15 zoning allows for manufactured or stick-built homes, and homes on pilings can capture beautiful river, golf course, and pond views while providing covered parking or storage below. The riverside offers additional possibilities with DOT installed culvert access-- while a soil evaluation has not yet been completed, zoning allows for an accessory structure such as a home office/ flex rooms, or living area with kitchen and baths with appropriate site prep and permits. No HOA restrictions. Currently cannot be split into two separate parcels, though future zoning requests may present options.
