Lot 15
The fifteenth river frontage lot counting from the cul-de-sac at the northwest end of River Ridge Lane, lot 15 is a rough rectangle with its narrow sides on River Ridge Lane and the White River. White River frontage is 170.38 feet, the northwestern side is 811.83 feet, the southeastern side is 789.88 feet, and the River Ridge Lane frontage is 185.00 feet. Lot area is 3.29 acres not including the River Ridge Lane right-of-way of .106 acres. Lot is relatively flat on the top of the ridge with a high point in the middle of the lot for the southwestern two-thirds of its area, then sloping down to the White River on its northeastern side. The flat area is cleared except for scattered shade trees as visible in the first photo, and the slope to the river and river bank are covered with eastern hardwoods and various soft woods. Lot features a spectacular view toward the East and South, and the flat portion of the lot is approximately 140 feet above the White River high water mark at an elevation of 360 feet above sea level. Additional clearing of woods on the southwestern bank of the White River and the slope up to the flat area will be required to realize the full potential of the view.
View to northeast from Lot 15, early March 2006. The dark area beyond the river is cropland burned in February to control pests and weeds.
