About this home

Newer 2 bedroom, 2 bath ranch with full basement and attached 2 car garage -- all meticulously maintained. 4.6 acres of woods and gardens plus frontage on quiet, serene Emerson Lake make this one of the most private and peaceful spots in Mason County. Emerson Lake is a private lake (no public access) that offers great fishing, canoeing, and other low impact watersports. Or walk to the Pere Marquette River in the Manistee National Forest and fish for trout, steelhead and salmon. When you are not enjoying the water and outdoors, work on a project in one of the shop areas in the heated and insulated 40 x 30 pole barn with overhead garage door. A few other smaller storage buildings, campfire rings, beachside picnic and patio areas and trails through the woods round out the amenities. Seller wi ll also include 18 ft pontoon with 25 HP Mercury and 12 ft fishing boat. This is the complete package: a nice home, waterfront, acreage and pole bldg that could all be your summer or year round home.
