Unique one-acre offering in a desirable rural-residential setting with the added benefit of C-1 General Commercial zoning. Just two miles from downtown New Buffalo, Lake Michigan beaches, the marina, and Amtrak, this versatile property presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking either a private homesite or future investment potential. The property may continue to be enjoyed as a traditional single-family residence, while short-term vacation rentals are permitted and the existing zoning provides flexibility for commercial, mixed-use, or development opportunities. Pole barns and other accessory structures are permitted, creating an excellent setting for boat, RV, or collector storage. The property may also appeal to contractors, tradespeople, or business owners seeking a live-work environment. City water and natural gas are available at the street. House and outbuildings are being sold AS-IS. All offers encouraged. For small investment consider primitive or rustic camp sites for off-grid travel enthusiasts.
