Incredible opportunity for investors, builders, or developers! This property offers a rare chance to reimagine a unique piece of land with existing infrastructure and multiple possibilities for redevelopment. Three separate structures are present on the property: a 1900s site-built home, a singlewide, and a gutted doublewide. All have been lived in at various points, suggesting the presence of utility connections; however, they are being sold strictly as-is, at no assigned value, and entry is strongly discouraged unless at your own risk. With just two owners throughout its history, this property provides a clean slate with great potential for creative vision and long-term return. This is a unique chance to secure land with existing improvements already in place, ideal for your next build, redevelopment project, or investment portfolio.
