Tucked along approximately one-quarter mile of frontage on the Ford River, this exceptionally well-kept recreational property offers 15.5 acres, a quality off-grid cabin, detached garage, established utilities and a complete setup ready for its next owner to enjoy. The 20' x 24' cabin was thoughtfully built and has been carefully maintained. The interior is finished with extensive tongue-and-groove woodwork, a warm and comfortable main living area, wood stove, kitchen with propane range and sink, a bunk room with two sets of bunks, and a full bathroom with tub/shower, toilet and vanity. The cabin is wired throughout with LED lighting and is being offered fully furnished, including a fold-out couch/bed. A 109-foot well free-flows year-round. The well is not currently connected to the cabin, and water is carried inside for use. The cabin is fully plumbed, offering the opportunity for a future owner to connect the water system. A permitted septic system and drain field are already in place. Power is currently supplied by an included Honda EU2000i generator. The generator connects at the detached garage, with underground wiring continuing to the cabin. Utility power is available near the public road, approximately one-quarter mile from the improvements, creating a possible future on-grid option. The 12' x 24' detached garage has a concrete floor, electrical wiring and a chimney already installed for an included, uninstalled woodstove. Additional included personal property consists of a 2005 Kubota RTV900, Kunz rough-cut mower, two utility trailers and other designated items, to be transferred separately in as-is condition by personal-property bill of sale. The cabin and garage sit within a maintained clearing overlooking the Ford River, surrounded by a mix of wooded cover, apple trees and natural river-bottom habitat. A small riverside deck, fire ring and outdoor gathering area add to the setting. Access is provided by an established gravel driveway approximately one-quarter mile long over a legal deeded easement. The property consists of three taxable parcels totaling approximately 15.5 acres. The sellers are also offering a separate 80-acre recreational and hunting property located just to the south. The 80 acres may be purchased separately or together with this property. Sellers reserve the right to give preference to offers proposing the combined purchase of both properties. This turnkey off-grid river front property in the highly sought after Riverland area won't last!
