The property features stunning views, soothing lake sounds, and sightings of eagles soaring overhead. By the riverfront, there's a dock perfect for fishing, relaxing, and launching small boats (the launch area is about 6.5 feet wide). The lakeside is where the house sits, letting you enjoy both the sights and sounds of the water. On the property, you’ll find the cottage itself, a sauna building with an attached woodshed, a one-car garage, and a metal shed. Inside, the main floor offers an enclosed porch with abundant windows, a living room with a wood stove, a dining area featuring an antique wood stove, a kitchen, a bedroom with pine tongue-and-groove walls, a half bath, and a full bathroom. Upstairs is another bedroom, while the unfinished basement includes laundry facilities and an exterior entrance. There’s also a small outdoor deck to take in the surroundings. This location is ideal for anyone wanting to enjoy the beauty of Lake Superior and the Big Traverse River. The lot measures approximately 100 feet paralell to Lake Superior and about 102 feet along the Traverse River. Please note, the seller does not guarantee ownership or control over any accreted land, subject to the rights and ownership of the State of Michigan. The waterfront marketing is based on the original survey that showed the water’s edge and river frontage at the time. Square footage is estimated, accounting for areas with lower ceiling heights. Be aware that the sauna is currently out of order. Just down the road from the property is a privately owned marina and boat launch for larger boats. -----NOTICE: Information is believed accurate but not guaranteed. Buyers must inspect & verify all property details. Buyers accept all risks of inaccuracies, including but not limited to, acreage, lot size/location, square footage, & utility availability/costs. Real estate taxes will be reassessed & may change significantly after sale; do not assume your tax bills will match the seller’s. Taxes are not zero.
