Rare opportunities like this don't come along often! Offering 140 feet of private frontage on the world-renowned Manistee River, this property is your chance to own a slice of Northern Michigan paradise. The Manistee River is celebrated for its crystal-clear waters, outstanding trout and salmon fishing, scenic paddling, and peaceful surroundings. Whether you enjoy kayaking, tubing, canoeing, wildlife photography, birdwatching, or simply relaxing by the water, this river offers an unforgettable Up North lifestyle. Nestled in a small, quiet neighborhood, this property provides the perfect balance of privacy and community. Wake up to the sounds of the river, enjoy evenings around a fire overlooking the water, and experience the beauty of every season from your own backyard. The three-season room, which remains in excellent condition, is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind with a good book, or simply take in the breathtaking river views and abundant wildlife without ever leaving the comfort of your home. Riverfront properties with this much frontage are increasingly difficult to find, making this an exceptional investment for both recreation and future value. The home experienced damage during the historic and extremely rare 2026 flood event. Prior to that unprecedented event, the home had not experienced flooding. The floodwaters skimmed the flooring but did not destroy the structure, and the home has already undergone professional remediation, providing a clean slate for the next owner. Much of the difficult work has already been completed, leaving you the exciting opportunity to customize the finishes and create your dream riverfront retreat—without starting from scratch. Additional features include an attached two-car garage, a detached two-car garage, a storage shed, and beautifully established perennial flower gardens that add color and charm throughout the property. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence, vacation getaway, or investment.
