Property Description
Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in the Galena Territory, this beautiful 0.63-acre wooded property offers privacy, natural scenery, and an ideal location close to some of the area's best outdoor features. Surrounded by mature trees, the lot feels peaceful and established, with a natural setting that blends perfectly into the rolling landscape the Galena Territory is known for. The property features a gentle slope in the rear of the lot, adding visual interest and natural drainage while creating a great backdrop of wooded views. The slope also helps give the property depth and character, making the lot feel larger and more connected to nature. Building your dream home on this lot would provide shade, seasonal color, and a sense of quiet retreat. Location is a major highlight of this property, it offers nearby access to trails, perfect for exploring the natural beauty of the area and is also conveniently located close to the Marina and North Cove, providing quick access to water recreation, boating, and marina activities. With the home next door at 1 Waterford Drive also on the market, there may be a unique opportunity to acquire both properties together, creating enhanced privacy and a more secluded overall setting.
