Looking for a place to escape it all? This seasonal cottage is like nothing else on the market - offering remote privacy, fishing, hunting, and affordability due to being built on leased land. Sitting on a dirt road less than ten minutes from downtown Galena overlooking Spratts Lake, which connects to the Mississippi River. Prefer to bike? Hop on the Aiken trail just feet away and ride the Galena River Trail into downtown. With electricity, septic, and well, the possibilities to make this your own retreat are endless. Open concept living room has a wood burning stove and kitchenette with a 1950's vintage metal sink, cabinets, and microwave. One private bedroom as well as an additional room at the entrance with a built in bunk bed and workbench (some tools stay). There is one full bath in need of a an update, new 30 year roof in 2006, and the interior was painted in 2015. Close to Blanding Landing, Casper Bluff, and Chestnut Mountain Resort. And for the train lover, there are tracks right outside your door! Listing is for the cabin, land is leased from the US Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District. Lease is $1,575 per year, paid in two annual payments of $787.50. link to short video clip: https://youtu.be/iy1_h3XaN_w
