Discover a unique opportunity tucked away in an established Harvard neighborhood! This offering includes two parcels, PINs 01-36-311-033 and 01-36-311-031, totaling 1.07 acres, providing a surprisingly secluded setting while still being conveniently located near neighboring homes and the amenities of town. Access to the property is provided by a driveway easement, creating a more private, set-back feel that is difficult to find within a neighborhood setting. The property sits farther back from Dewey Street, offering the possibility of creating your own private retreat while remaining close to schools, shopping, transportation and everyday conveniences. This land is zoned R-1 as confirmed by the City of Harvard. The lot has electric and natural gas nearby. For buyers interested in a simpler or more self-sufficient lifestyle, this location may provide an opportunity to explore off-grid-style or alternative utility options, including the possible use of a generator or other supplemental power source, potentially helping reduce traditional utility expenses. Any generator, alternative energy system, well, septic system, utility connection or other improvement would be subject to applicable governmental approvals, codes and regulations and should be independently investigated by the buyer. The parcels offer plenty of room to consider a future residence, outdoor living areas, gardens, recreational space or other possibilities. According to the City of Harvard residential dimensional standards provided, development within residential zoning districts is subject to requirements involving such items as minimum lot area and width, building size and coverage, setbacks and a minimum home size of 1,600 square feet.
