Why they chose this property
Incredible property in a very desirable area - we couldn't pass up the rare opportunity to own one of the only homes in Loveland that is directly on the trail AND has acreage with river access! We are so grateful we got the opportunity to own this home and property and love being able to share it with you :)
What makes this property unique
Walk out the back door and straight onto the Little Miami/Loveland Bike Trail. Walk out the front door and across the field to the Little Miami River's edge. I don't know of another property like this one anywhere!
Located approx. 15 miles (15-20 minute drive) from the Warren County Sports Park where the 2022 World Ultimate Frisbee Championships will be held. We welcome our guests coming into town for this event!
