7.5 Acres
For Sale in St. Joseph, MI
Unique Features of this Beautiful Land
The land is beautifully wooded, has a large size of 7.5 acres, and yet is very close to the City of St. Joseph, MI.
You might find a lot or two close to town, but this wooded parcel is 7.5 acres!
Even though the property has such a close-in location, it is in St. Joseph Charter Township where the real estate taxes are much lower than the significantly higher taxes in the City of St. Joseph.
The 7.5 acres would be outstanding for either a Private Estate with a single family home or family compound; OR for a subdivision for new homes.
The 7.5 acres offer a private location, as to the East is The Estates subdivision’s recreational area; to the South is the New Life Church with it’s mostly open and not-often used acreage; and to the North only 4 homes border the 7.5 acres.
For a real estate developer or home builder, the beautiful wooded lots having such a close-in location means the homes on this land should sell very rapidly!
Many trees on the 7.5 acres are so tall, straight and mature that professional timber buying companies may be anxious to harvest the mature timber within the subdivision street and in each of the sites where homes would be built. So timber can be removed from those areas, while the remaining areas surrounding the homes can remain beautifully forested. Thus rather than having to pay all the expenses to clear trees from certain areas, a developer or home builder could receive payments from the timber buying company!
