General Description: 

BUCHANAN, MI ~ BANK OWNED 3.4 Acre Lot on St. Joseph River ~ Online Real Estate Auction featuring a scenic, 3.4 acre, wooded, sloped parcel on the eastern shore of the St. Joseph River, midway between Buchanan and Berrien Springs. Located at the end of the cul-de-sac in the quiet Lake Chapin Banks development, this site is relatively flat at the front then slopes downward to a small inlet and peninsula at the river's edge, with 200+ ft. of river frontage from which to enjoy water sports and access to the 500 acre all-sports Lake Chapin. A nearby association-maintained paved cart path leads from the road down near the river. This peaceful community overlooking the river includes 22 acres of open space/common property and is a short country drive to/from US-31, offering a scenic commute combined with the bonus of a short reach to Lake Michigan, Benton Harbor/St Joseph, South Bend, multiple interstate freeways, only 90 minutes to Chicago, and more.

Condition of Online Auction Lots

All items sell AS IS - WHERE IS WITH ALL FAULTS and with no warranty of any type expressed or implied as to the merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any goods offered in this sale. All sales are made on an AS IS - WHERE IS WITH ALL FAULTS basis. All buyers are urged to physically inspect the item during the inspection period. No bids can be withdrawn after the auction for any reason. BUYER agrees that these terms as well as all other terms set forth below, can be amended or revised only in writing, signed by the auctioneer. BUYER also agrees that any oral representation made by the auctioneer shall not modify these "AS IS - WHERE IS WITH ALL FAULTS" terms. BUYER understands that any description given in the catalog or written on the equipment is not guaranteed, and BUYER will rely entirely on their own inspection. All information and descriptions contained in advertising this sale are believed correct, but no responsibility is assumed by Auction Co, or Seller for any errors or omissions.

Dynamic Bidding

Posted closing times and displays of Auction Co.'s current time are approximate. Auction Co. reserves the right to close early or extend auctions at any time at its discretion. It is strongly recommended that bids be placed early to avoid losing out due to an ill-timed, last minute bid. All times based on Eastern Standard Time. Dynamic bidding - The dynamic bid on this website is a feature that does NOT allow an item to sell at the end of the auction until there is 10 minutes of bidding inactivity. Example - An item is bid on at 1:50pm. An auction is scheduled to close at 2:00pm. When this bid is placed the ending time will automatically extend to 2:10pm. When another bid is placed at 2:01 the auction will extend until 2:20pm. This will give bidder 19 minutes to place another bid.  If no bids are placed this auction will conclude at 2:20pm. The key to your dynamic bidding feature is that the auction extends from the preset closing time in 10 minute intervals, NOT 10 minutes from when you placed your bid.
