Property Description
Waterfront Opportunity on +/-1.26 Acres – 456 River Road, Canaan, VT Bring your vision to the water! This +/-1.26-acre riverfront property offers a unique opportunity for someone looking for a project, an affordable waterfront getaway, or a potential new-build site. An existing structure is on the property and needs foundation work and finishing. For the right buyer who is handy or able to complete the work themselves, there may be an opportunity to transform the existing structure and create a waterfront home while adding value through sweat equity. Prefer to start fresh? The property could also be considered as a potential tear-down and new-build opportunity, allowing you to envision and create your own waterfront home or retreat, subject to town requirements, permits, and site approval. Town water and sewer are available, and electric is at the road. With +/-1.26 acres and river frontage, there is room to create a property that takes full advantage of the setting. Imagine stepping outside your future home to fish, float, relax, and enjoy the river right from your own land. Whether you see the potential in the existing structure or envision clearing the site and starting from scratch, 456 River Road offers a rare chance to create your own piece of waterfront Vermont. Bring your ideas, your tools, and your vision!
