Where the River Runs... Opportunity Flows! Step back in time, and step into possibility in the historic hamlet of Riverview. This rare corner-lot property, dates back to 1890, offers a story as rich as the land itself - with local lore suggesting the home once served as a general store at the heart of the community. Today, the value lies in what comes next. Set against the peaceful soundtrack of the Grand River babbling in the background, this property invites dreamers, builders, and entrepreneurs to create something truly special. Whether you envision a custom-built riverside home, a weekend retreat, or a charming small-town business venture, this is your chance to bring new life to a historic setting where opportunities flow as naturally as the river itself. Imagine mornings with coffee overlooking the water, afternoons casting a fishing line from your own backyard, evenings listening to the gentle current as the sun sets over Riverview. Opportunities like this don't come along often - especially in a setting where history meets possibility and the river writes the next chapter. Existing home boasts large principal rooms, 4 bedrooms and mechanical updates to add to the land value. Restore its current beauty, or make use of a serviced lot to create your masterpiece. Property would be ideal for a boutique office, bed & breakfast, studio, café, retreat space or short-term rental. Bring your vision, bring your plans & let the river guide you home!
