This neat property would make an ideal retreat for someone who wants to have a private recreational getaway. It’s located along a big bend on the South Skunk River, where the river crosses 180th Avenue. This land combines large Maple and Cottonwood trees, young Willows, and a wetland grass habitat. A mowed area near the river showcases a private weekend camp place. This property is located within the 100-year floodplain, therefore will not be a candidate to build a house, but it would make a great site to build a cabin on stilts! The nearest small town is Hayesville, and the larger town of Sigourney is a ten-minute drive to the northeast, where you can get nearly any supplies you may need. The fishing should be excellent, and I can see someone taking this blank canvas and turning it into a very nice weekend or hunting season retreat! A covenant will prevent any commercial use or subdivid...
