Perched above the river on a wooded bluff, 141 Riverside Drive NE, a defining feature of this home is how it makes you feel the moment you step inside—offering a seamless blend of original character, versatile living spaces, and the quiet serenity that only waterfront living can provide. A spacious overlook platform at the top of the bluff creates an unforgettable spot for relaxing, entertaining, or taking in panoramic river views through every season. From here, the staircase winds down the bluff, providing access to the water's edge. Gather around the outdoor stove on cool evenings, listen to the sounds of nature, and savor the exceptional privacy of this tree-lined retreat. Inside, original hardwood floors, built-ins and kitchen cabinetry preserve the home’s warmth and character. The main level features two bedrooms and a 3/4 bathroom, while the finished upper half-story offers a private third bedroom tucked away from the main living spaces. The flexible lower level expands the home’s functionality with an additional bedroom, living area, kitchen, and laundry. Featuring fresh carpeting, this layout is perfectly suited for multigenerational living, extended-stay guests, a dedicated work-from-home suite, or potential long-term rental income. Conveniently located near St. Cloud State University, downtown amenities, parks, and trails, this property combines easy access to everyday destinations with a distinctive, immersive connection to nature. More than a home overlooking the Mississippi, this is a place to slow down, spread out, and enjoy riverfront living in a setting that feels truly special.

Own your building instead of renting one. This rare owner-user opportunity in Saint Cloud pairs a move-in-ready 6,340 SF space with $6,557.50/month of in-place tenant income to help carry the mortgage. Offered as a package — two adjoining parcels (PID 17.00186.00 and PID 17.01143.00) totaling 22,100 SF on 1.02 acres — 585 & 607 1st Street SE deliver a rare blend of owner-user space and day-one cash flow in a single transaction. Both PIDs must convey together. The 585 building is fully vacant and freshly renovated 2025–2026: 6,340 SF with 16' clear height, a 14' drive-in door plus a 10' dock door, a new three-phase electrical panel, new Reznor gas heaters, new insulation, new LED lighting, a private bathroom, and 12 dedicated parking spaces. Move your business in and stop writing rent checks. Next door, the 607 building is 100% leased to two tenants on three-year terms with built-in 7.5% annual increases generating $6,557.50/month in contractual rent. That income works for you from day one, whether you grow into the additional space later or simply let the tenants help pay down your loan. Combined building specs: 22,100 SF across two attached structures, three-phase power on three 200-amp panels, 3 dock doors and 3 drive-in doors (ramps and doors updated 2023), a new 60-mil EPDM roof on 607 (2023) and a recoated metal roof on 585 (2023), floor drains and sprinklers in 607. Zoned I-2 General Industrial by the City of Saint Cloud — one of the most flexible zoning designations in the market, permitting warehousing & distribution, general manufacturing, machine shop, motor vehicle sales/repair, cold storage, building materials sales, bottling & distribution, truck terminal, and more. At $1,400,000 ($63/SF), this offering is priced below every comparable industrial sale in the St. Cloud/Sauk Rapids submarket over the past two years (comp average $76/SF, median $75/SF) — despite a completed top-to-bottom renovation and income already in place. 2026 real estate taxes are estimated at $20,546 combined. Two parcels. One price. Sold together only. Bring your business, inherit the income, and start building equity instead of paying someone else's mortgage. Showings by appointment only. Please do not disturb tenants. Call or email Amanda Matajira 651-260-6996 or amanda@mvcre.com to setup a showing.
