Opportunities like this don't come around often - riverfront views living on deeded land near Fairport, with the kind of character and potential you just can't recreate.This 4-bedroom home has an interesting past - it was moved from the Iowa Fish Hatchery in the 1960s - and it's been standing strong ever since. Inside, you'll find spacious rooms, solid bones, and glimpses of original hardwood floors that hint at what this home could become again. It's never had water inside, giving you a solid starting point for your renovation plans.This is the kind of place for someone with vision, wether you're looking for a project, an investment, or a weekend escape you can truly make your own.And then there's the bonus: this sale includes a second parcel at 3391 Water St., giving you direct Mississippi River views. Imagine mornings by the water, evenings watching the river roll by, and the added value that kind of setting brings.
Both properties must be purchased together and are being sold as-is, making this a rare chance to create something special in a location that's hard to beat.
Buyer to work with Muscatine Co on purchase size & placement for required septic system & permits.
