At this serene site, it feels like you're hours outside of a city center, yet you're only 15 minutes from the 494 loop, set within the award winning, Orono School District.

The property features 12+ acres, 600+' of frontage on Lake Independence, and ideal topography with significant, flat, usable land at the lake grade which extends in approximately 100' before the hill takes you up to higher ground where the potential build configurations and combinations are endless.

This property can be split in half creating two, approximately 6 acre lots, each with 300’ of lake frontage, without a variance. City sewer and water is currently just south of Pagenkopf.
