Property Description

Welcome to your own private Northern Michigan retreat! Offering approximately **240 feet of frontage on the West Branch of the Muskegon River**, this unique property combines waterfront living, privacy, recreation, and plenty of space for family and friends. Located on a peaceful dead-end road, the property features not only beautiful river frontage, but also **three artesian wells feeding a private pond and small lake**, creating a truly special setting for enjoying the outdoors and watching wildlife. There's plenty of room for all your Up North toys and hobbies with **two pole buildings—24x32 and 24x40—**plus an additional storage shed, **Generac generator**, and **30-amp RV hookup**. Two gazebos provide wonderful places to relax and take in the surroundings. One has electricity and overlooks the lake, making it the perfect spot for evening card games, conversations, and making memories with family and friends. Inside, this well-maintained **2-bedroom, 1-bath stick-built home** is ready to enjoy. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area makes gathering easy, while an additional spacious living room features a **wall of windows overlooking the river**—an ideal place to relax, entertain, or simply watch the wildlife and changing seasons. An attached **2-stall garage** provides additional convenience and storage. Despite its peaceful setting, you're only about **6 miles from I-127 and Houghton Lake** and approximately **15 miles from Lake Missaukee in Lake City**, putting boating, fishing, trails, dining, shopping, and year-round Northern Michigan recreation within easy reach. Whether you're searching for a year-round home, weekend getaway, or a place where generations of family and friends can gather, this property offers a rare combination of **waterfront, acreage-style privacy, abundant storage, recreation, and convenience**. Come see it in person—you may not want to leave!
