Lot 17
The seventeenth river frontage lot counting from the cul-de-sac at the northwest end of River Ridge Lane, lot 17 is a rough rectangle with its narrow sides on River Ridge Lane and the White River. White River frontage is 248.23 feet, the northwestern side is 758.57 feet, the southeastern side is 739.19 feet, and the River Ridge Lane frontage is 181.78 feet. Lot area is 3.68 acres not including the River Ridge Lane right-of-way of .104 acres. Lot is centered on a shallow valley with gently sloping sides providing access to the river from a high point near River Ridge Lane as shown in the photos. The gently sloping area is cleared except for scattered shade trees as visible in the first photo, and the slope to the river is partially cleared until the flood plain of the river which is 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 130 feet above the White River high water mark at an elevation of 350 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.
