The property includes shared riparian rights, which allow waterfront access and the ability to pursue dock construction, subject to approvals. • A buyer could potentially build a private pier/dock or collaborate with neighboring properties on a shared multi-slip dock, depending on HOA guidelines and permitting. • The process for building a dock is similar to most waterfront properties, with the primary additional step being coordination with the HOA. • As with any waterfront improvement, buyers should confirm feasibility with the HOA and appropriate local/state authorities regarding permitting and design. ⸻⸻ Mortgage savings may be available for buyers of this listing.
