Description

Rare double-lot offering in the core of New Buffalo—an exceptional opportunity for investors, builders, or vision-driven buyers. Two back-to-back parcels provide valuable flexibility and long-term upside in one of Harbor Country's most sought-after locations. The existing residence includes two additional non-conforming rooms currently used as bedrooms, offering immediate functionality while future plans take shape. With ample space and desirable lot configuration, the property is well-suited for redevelopment, expansion, or a new-build project, with the option to retain the current home as a guest house or income-producing asset. Ideally positioned just minutes from downtown New Buffalo, the beach, harbor, dining, shopping, and Amtrak access, this property combines prime location with outstanding development potential—an increasingly rare find in this market.
