Rare Clam Lake frontage featuring 362 feet of private shoreline, expansive water views, and direct access to Northern Michigan’s Chain of Lakes, with Torch Lake just a half mile away. Properties with this level of frontage, depth, and flexibility are increasingly difficult to find. Set on approximately 1.39 acres, the property offers exceptional long-term value through its land characteristics alone. The existing ranch-style residence and finished lower level provide immediate usability, while the site itself allows for a range of future possibilities, including renovation, holding as a private waterfront retreat, or potential redevelopment subject to township approval. The setting is quiet and private, yet ideally located near the Dockside restaurant and less than ten minutes from downtown Alden. A detached garage and a substantial 60’ x 40’ pole building with concrete floors add functional utility for storage, boats, and recreational equipment. This property is being conveyed as-is with the right to inspect, allowing buyers to evaluate the opportunity based on their intended use. Whether acquired for long-term enjoyment, investment, or future planning, this is a rare chance to secure significant frontage and flexibility on one of Northern Michigan’s most desirable lake systems. The dock conveys with the property. All information provided is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed and should be independently verified. Buyers and buyers agents are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding the property's condition, features, and any applicable regulations or restrictions.
