This waterfront property on the Bay River sounds like a dream come true for anyone who loves the outdoors. With over 260 feet of waterfront, you can enjoy stunning views, fishing, duck hunting, and crabbing right from your own dock and boat lift. The property is well-prepared for building, with a reinforced bulkhead, an operational 2-bedroom septic system, connected electricity, and approved building plans. High-speed internet and county water are already hooked up, making it perfect for those who want to work from home. Plus, there's no HOA, so you have the freedom to build your river home or simply bring your camper or RV to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The nearby private boat launch at Bobby's Landing adds even more convenience for boating enthusiasts.
