About this home

Rare waterfront opportunity! Tucked away on a unique private road, this tranquil riverfront setting provides a peaceful escape from the everyday. Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the water, spend evenings around the fire watching the river flow by, or relax among the multiple gardens. This cozy, updated home offers upper and lower patios, open-concept main-level living, and a versatile walkout lower level that can accommodate a recreation room, guest quarters, a home office, or a potential apartment-style rental. Large windows capture scenic river views and fill the home with natural light. Major improvements: plumbing, electrical, and heating systems (2017); A/C (2018); new roof (2020); new septic (2026). Best of all, no flood insurance is required. Additional features: detached 2-car garage near the home, a second detached garage/workshop being sold as-is, and a handy storage shed. Whether you need space for hobbies, storage, gardening, or outdoor recreation, this property offers endless possibilities. Conveniently located between Elkhart and Mishawaka. Waterfront living on 1.1 acres for under $325,000 is a rare find—don't miss this opportunity to make the river your backyard. House hack! Live in the upper space and rent the lower.
