This little cabin tucked away off the beaten path is ready for its new owner. Perfect for those summer adventures yet robust and accessible enough to be a full time home at an affordable price if someone wants to put in some work. This house sits steps away from over 40,000 acres of the Manistee National Forest including a nice little 47 acre piece right across the street. The home itself has had some work done to it over the last few years with new floors in much of the main floor including new sub floors, a new bathroom, new roof in fall of 2021, & a new washer/dryer. The well has recently been overhauled and the upstairs is a blank slate for someone willing to put in a little bit of work. Home has propane and a wood stove for heat. Set up your showing today. House is sold AS-IS.
