Enjoy 100' of waterfront on the all-sports Wixom Lake, located on an extra wide canal just off the main lake and around the bend from Pontoon Alley. Prepare for lake life when water levels return to normal with this truly unique property! This historic cottage, one of the originals built on the lake, sits on a secluded 0.6-acre lot with trees and a winding driveway. While maintaining its rustic charm, the cottage also offers modern conveniences. Originally a vertical log structure, it now features vinyl shake siding and a composite roof. The quaint covered porch is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the views. The cottage is split into two levels. The main floor includes a living room and a bedroom running the full length of the cottage offering a view of the future lake. There is also a small bedroom with a potential third bedroom, office, or large closet. A "water closet" (toilet-only room) is also on this level. Downstairs, the walk-out basement is filled with natural light and houses the kitchen and dining area. The rustic, original kitchen features an antique stove, sink, and butcher block counter. There is a full bath with a shower on this level, and you can walk out to a lakeside patio. The 24x40 garage could easily be converted into a second living space. It is vinyl-sided with a concrete approach, has radiant in-floor heat, natural gas space heaters, and is finished with knotty pine tongue-and-groove. Additional features include 220V power, air hose hookups, a sound system with indoor and outdoor speakers, and an outdoor-access bathroom with tiled floors, shower, and washer and dryer. Other features of this property include a 5" well, a storage shed with electric, a garden shed, and a charming guest house with electric, reclaimed wood, and a tin ceiling. Please note that some seawall and deck repairs will be needed. Visit the Four Lakes Task Force website to learn more about the upcoming assessment and completion of the dam repairs.
