About This Home

As of November 2021

A nice quiet location tucked back off the road on the St. Joseph River. There is a nice 3 bed, 2 bath ranch home with full unfinished basement, and attached 2 car garage that provides peace and quiet in a country atmosphere. Lots of waterfront to park your boat, and enjoy the river relaxing or fishing on those hot summer days. Waterfowl hunting on the backwaters of the river should provide excellent additional opportunities. There are also many whitetail deer that travel through the property. Located only about 30 minutes from Portage, Michigan. Take a look, as this is a rare opportunity to own waterfront acreage in a wonderful peaceful setting.
