RIVER FRONT PROPERTY!! Discover your dream retreat on the banks of the Flat Rock River! This riverfront cottage is on .93 acres and offers an idyllic escape for fishing, kayaking, or unwinding with friends and family by the firepit. Perfectly positioned across from the rock cliffs to capture the sounds of a nearby waterfall, the front deck-facing the river-invites you to savor the sights and sounds of the river and wildlife. Inside, this well-maintained haven blends rustic charm with modern upgrades. Cozy up by the freestanding fireplace in winter and enjoy year-round comfort with a 65,000 BTU propane heater and multiple mini-split units for heating and cooling. Other improvements include new windows, blinds, spray foam insulation, a 200-amp electrical system, and a new well pump. The property also features a new storage shed to secure your fishing gear, kayaks and yard equipment. Listed as a one-bedroom, the cottage includes a versatile bonus room with a half bath, previously used as a second bedroom (note: no closet). This cottage exudes character with a kitchen that is equipped with a vintage oven/range, refrigerator, and a classic Hoosier cabinet. Antique furniture and collectibles, available via a separate bill of sale, make this a potential turnkey purchase. Situated approximately 15 feet above the river's normal level, this home has never experienced flooding in the owners' 16 years of ownership, despite being in a FEMA-designated flood zone. Flood insurance is not currently carried by the owners. Opportunities to own a riverfront gem like this are rare-act quickly to claim your slice of tranquility and create lasting memories! Property is sold as is.
