Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy one of the biggest sites on the Thornapple River on one the most prestigious streets above the Ada Dam. Briarcliff is arguably the hottest riverfront address with millions of dollars of investment being made in both new and remodeled luxury homes. This very rare 2.75 acre site with 226 ft of prime water frontage has been in the same family since the 1960's. Special features include: quiet location at the end of a cul-de-sac, deep wooded lot affords tons of privacy, very gentle slope to the river for easy water access, southwest exposure over the river for breathtaking sunsets. Charming historic home built in 1938 includes the original masonry boathouse down at the water. Endless possibilities for creating your new exclusive river estate or enhancethe charm of the existing home. Convenient camel back bridge location affords tons of navigable water up and down the river. Short distance to both the Village of Cascade and the new Ada Village redevelopment. Be sure to view both the aerial still shots and video for full perspective. Amazing!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
