Description

Originally built as a summer recreational camp with some dormitory style rooms, a few log cabins and a tennis court, Camp Silver Spruce straddled both sides of the Florida River and even includes an island… they call it Treasure Island… for picnicking and other fun events. Lots of big tall spruce trees on lots ranging in size from perhaps about half an acre up to a couple acres. All the roads are gravel and maintained through your HOA dues. All owners would have fishing rights over the “fishing easement” along the banks of the river. This project is a mix of older properties, many of which were built in the 50s and 60s combined with year-round type homes that were added from about the 1980’s. There is a steep ridge just South of the development which provides nice shade on hot summer days but also keeps out the warm sun during the winter months. Predominantly the homes are in the $200,000 to $350,000 price range. General lay of the land is totally flat except on the South side where “High Trails Road” heads up the mountainside. Those lots would be North facing and when you get near the top, they offer nice views across the Valley.
