About this home

Truly a rare find! 210 feet of the most beautiful, low bluff, super-sandy Lake Michigan frontage ... North of Onekama and South of Arcadia! And if that wasn't enough ... you also will enjoy a cozy cottage/get-away that you've always dreamed of owning in Northern Michigan. Use it now for the summers, weekends or any time you need to escape from it all. And then build on this ideal location in the quaint little Village of Pierport. The 2-bedroom cottage is in very good condition. It comes fully furnished/turn-key to get you started ... and currently sleeps 4-8 people. You cannot beat the location here! You're minutes from Arcadia Bluffs Golf Club, Crystal Mountain Ski and Golf Resort and Manistee's Blacker Airport.
