RARE OPPORTUNITY IN GEM BEACH ON CATAWBA ISLAND. Just steps from Lake Erie and the sandy shores of Gem Beach, this unique property offers an exceptional combination of location, land, and possibilities. Situated on approximately 1/4 acre in the heart of this popular lakefront community, the property encompasses FOUR originally platted lots, now combined into one parcel, offering substantially more land than the typical Gem Beach cottage property. The 1,860 sq. ft. side-by-side duplex connects in the middle, providing immediate flexibility for personal use, a family vacation getaway, rental income, or a combination of both. Each unit features 2 bedrooms, 1 full and 1 half bath, its own kitchen and living areas, private front/back entrances, and outdoor patio spaces. One unit features a renovated updated kitchen and interior, while the other maintains its classic cottage character. A beautiful circular paver driveway and additional off-street parking provide plenty of room for family and guests. LOOKING TO BUILD? The property's four-lot configuration also presents an exciting opportunity for redevelopment. Architectural plans are available for TWO proposed spacious new homes with attached garages designed specifically for this property, providing buyers with a vision of what could be created in this desirable location. Additional development possibilities may also be explored, subject to applicable approvals. Enjoy the Lake Erie lifestyle with Gem Beach and Gem Beach Marina just a short walk away, offering opportunities for boating, swimming, fishing, and seasonal dockage. Catawba Island is known for its beautiful shoreline, restaurants, wineries, breweries, and easy access to the Miller Ferry and Lake Erie Islands. Whether you're looking to enjoy the existing duplex, create a family lake compound, or develop new homes, opportunities offering this much flexibility in such a desirable location are seldom available! Architectural plans available for review.
