* * UPSET BIDS CAN NOW BE MADE WITH THE CLERK OF COURT * * Looking for a place to get away and make your own? This rustic 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin sits on roughly 24 acres right on the beautiful Bay River. It's private, peaceful, and full of potential—just waiting for someone to roll up their sleeves and finish the dream. The cabin is unfinished, so it's a bit of a project—but the hard part is done. The structure is in place, the setting is unbeatable, and the views are something special. Double porches give you front-row seats to nature, and with all this acreage, you've got room to roam, explore, or just breathe a little easier. There's a boat ramp nearby for easy access to the water, whether you're into fishing, kayaking, or just cruising the river. This place would make an awesome retreat, weekend getaway, or even a full-time home if you're looking to unplug and unwind. * * * Home is unfinished / incomplete construction. Permitting for structure is unknown - Building Inspector's Office shows records of permits pulled in 2012, but cannot provide copies since the records no longer exist. Tax record shows a cemetery on property - location is unknown. This is a Court Ordered sale and will require a 10-day upset bid period after an offer as been accepted. Please ask Listing Agent for a disclaimer regarding the process for Court Ordered Sale. Property is being sold AS-IS. Property lines in photos are approximate. * * *
