OPPORTUNITY AWAITS! This listing is for three adjoining properties totaling approximately 7.50 acres. The properties are being sold as a bundle and will not be sold individually.

The combined acreage is ideal for an investor, developer, or an individual wanting space for a quiet retreat, a family compound, or the opportunity to create something new in the area. The listing includes 1127, 1129 & 1131 N Hamlett Street. 1127 N Hamlett (parcel #246770) is an unimproved vacant lot approximately 1.50 acres. It is not fenced and has not had any development; therefore, utilities are not present. 1129 N Hamlett (parcel #246769) is a single-family home on approximately 2.0 acres of land. The home was built in 1961 and has been vacant for several years and is considered uninhabitable. When originally built, the home was on septic but switched to City sewer when it became available.
