About this home

2851 Cedar River Rd is the Up North getaway you've been dreaming about. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home combines rustic warmth with practical space, ready to serve as a full-time residence, seasonal cabin, or recreational basecamp. What sets this property apart is the flexibility offered by multiple buildings, including a 12'x 32' cabin that opens the door to guest quarters, a studio, a bunkhouse, or simply extra storage for all your gear. However you use it, the additional square footage brings genuine value. Adventure surrounds you in every direction. Snowmobile trails wind nearby, championship golf and downhill skiing keep the seasons active, and a scattering of pristine inland lakes invites fishing, paddling, boating, and lazy afternoons on the water. The location is a true crossroads of convenience. Centrally positioned between Traverse City, Gaylord, and Petoskey, you're never far from shopping, dining, and entertainment. A short drive delivers you to charming Bellaire, the famous Shorts Brewery, and the year-round fun of Shanty Creek Resort. Peaceful, versatile, and rich with possibility, this northern Michigan retreat is ready for your next chapter.
