About this home

Exceptional riverfront parcel on the most desirable section of the Boardman River between Garfield and Keystone Roads. A wide open, high and dry, building site is framed with towering white pines providing an ideal location for dream home or charming cottage. Mare mature trees create an almost cathedral like feel along the 144' of river frontage and there's a dock and bench already in place for awaiting the evening hatch or watching the heron fish. The sale also includes a parcel directly across the river that is inaccessible by road, but ensures future privacy and a great spot to explore once you've wandered across the river. A septic tank is already in place as is a power pole with meter that just needs to be connected. Any property on the Boardman is hard to find, let alone one so ideally suited as this.
