Rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind riverfront retreat on the north side of the Little Manistee River. With approximately 1,650' of frontage and 43 wooded acres, this property offers exceptional privacy, outstanding hunting, and some of Michigan's finest trout fishing right outside your door. A winding driveway leads to a charming cabin perched near the riverbank--a location that could not be replicated today. Grandfathered to sit this close to the water, the cabin delivers unmatched views and a true waterfront experience. Recent improvements include new log siding and chinking, new windows, new porch supports, and a new roof, along with previous updates to mechanicals, flooring, and cabinetry. Surrounded by large private holdings and federal land, the setting feels remote while remaining within easy reach of shopping, dining, and entertainment. Whether you're seeking a personal getaway, hunting camp, fishing headquarters, or income-producing vacation rental, (see ''more''... this low-maintenance property is ready to enjoy in every season. The outdoor living space is designed for relaxing, exploring, and taking in the sights and sounds of the river. With premier kayaking opportunities, excellent wildlife habitat, and very limited river traffic, properties like this seldom come to market. Don't miss this rare Little Manistee River offering
