About this home
Mississippi River and recreational amenities, this property allows you to combine lifestyle and opportunity in one place, delivering a unique and highly desirable combination of comfort, recreation, and potential. Affordable river living located less than 100 yards from the Mississippi River and Sturgeon Bay, known for excellent fishing, boating, and duck hunting. This updated two-bedroom, one-bath mobile home sits on approximately 0.25 acres and offers a comfortable and livable space that works perfectly as a starter home, hunting and fishing cabin, river retreat, or affordable full-time residence that is often cheaper than rent. The home features abundant natural light, fresh paint, new vinyl flooring throughout, updated light fixtures, serviced furnace and AC, and approximately 1,000 square feet of usable space including three additional room add-ons. These flexible spaces include storage and gardening areas, a room with water hookup believed to have previously been used for fish cleaning, and additional storage for tools and outdoor equipment. An attached garage provides space for multiple vehicles, while indoor-outdoor carpet leads to the welcoming front entry. Outdoor living is where this property really shines, with a fully fenced backyard, newly landscaped rock and clean sand for low-maintenance living, a lighted concrete patio perfect for entertaining, a concrete block bonfire pit, and a sand volleyball area for outdoor fun. Two large carports behind the home offer excellent storage for boats, campers, and recreational equipment. Privacy fencing and a newly added gate create a quiet and secure setting, making it easy to enjoy the peaceful river lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a weekend getaway, affordable year-round living, a hunting and fishing cabin, or a potential Airbnb investment, this property offers flexibility, recreation, and value in a desirable Mississippi River community.
