MOTIVATED SELLER will consider contributing to the buyers closing costs with an acceptable offer(inquire for more detail). What if your river getaway came with THREE separate cabins? I'm definitely not your typical property. I'm a place built for weekends, water, friends, family-and a whole lot of possibilities. Just steps from the Mississippi River boat access and right next to a popular campground, I put you in the middle of everything people come to New Boston to enjoy. Bring the boats, fishing poles, coolers, kayaks, and the whole crew. Sitting on my property are three 12x32 finished cabins, giving everyone their own private space while still spending the weekend together. Think grown kids and their families, a group of friends who love camping but are ready for something a little more comfortable, fishing buddies wanting their own river basecamp-or an investor exploring short-term or seasonal rental possibilities. Each cabin is insulated, heated with baseboard heat, finished with flooring and paint, powered, and individually metered with its own electrical panel. And instead of squeezing bathrooms into each cabin, everyone shares a separate 22x22 finished bathhouse featuring two showers, two toilets, two vanities, tankless hot water, washer/dryer hookups, two mini-splits, plus additional office/business space. I started as a simple lot and garage, but I've been transformed into something completely different-a recreational property with infrastructure already in place and plenty of room for the next owner to decide what comes next. Use me as your family's river retreat. Share me with friends. Explore an income-producing concept. Create your own little Mississippi River getaway. There aren't many properties quite like me-and that might just be the best part.
