Cold Creek winds through the front of the property, creating a peaceful backdrop that draws in wildlife and adds to the natural beauty of the setting. Whether you are enjoying coffee on the deck beneath the pergola or taking in the quiet surroundings, this property feels like a true Northern Michigan retreat. Inside, the home is bright, well cared for, and move-in ready with 2 bedrooms, comfortable main floor living, and quality updates throughout. Identified as manufactured construction, the home was assembled on a permanent wood foundation and features wood frame construction, a solid feel, and a level of comfort and finish that may exceed expectations. Hardwood floors add warmth to the living space, while the nicely updated kitchen, central air, pellet stove, and thoughtful improvements make the home easy to enjoy in every season. Recent enhancements include new windows in 2022, a new well and on-demand hot water in 2023, plus a new water softener and dishwasher in 2024. Outside, the paved driveway leads to a 24x40 pole barn with excellent room for vehicles, boats, and recreational gear, along with an additional 12x10 storage shed. The location is a strong part of the appeal, just minutes from downtown Beulah, Crystal Lake, and nearby golf. With its beautiful creek frontage, privacy, and strong outdoor lifestyle appeal, this property would make an ideal year-round home, weekend getaway, or investment opportunity with short-term rental potential.
