Property Description

A once-in-a-generation opportunity awaits you. This property offers 120 feet of gradually sloping Saint Croix River shoreline, on .65 acres, on an exceptionally private, end of cul de sac lot. Nestled next to a cove that serves Afton Marina and Yacht Club, where the river turns due south, the homesite juts out into the channel, affording incredible 220-degree views from shore, from the north to the southwest. The Lower Saint Croix was designated as a National Scenic Riverway by an act of Congress in 1972, and for millennia, this section of river has long been considered one of the most beautiful in North America. The home, built in 1972, is of a bi-level split design, with vaulted space on the upper level, two bedrooms, a full bath, a heated storage level and a full-length deck, with another living area, dining area, kitchen, another full bath, laundry area and three season porch downstairs. The home is mechanically sound in most respects, but updating to a modern look into today's standards is likely necessary, or a new owner could start fresh. Located in the highly desired hamlet of Saint Mary's Point, just north of Afton, new builds of extraordinary design and quality are numerous here, all blended into this special nature-filled setting to properly marry the home to the grounds within long established rules to protect this stretch of exceptional natural beauty. With an acceptable offer, the dock is included, and the seller will escrow money to install a new septic system sized for the existing 2564FSF existing home. Rare and special, act now to further explore and consider this exceptional opportunity.
