This newly remodeled two bedroom one bathroom cottage is nestled in mature hardwoods on 1.6 acres just west of Mesick. This property is conveniently located only a few miles from both State land and the Manistee National Forest. The Manistee River is only 5 miles away, Crystal Mountain Resort is just 13 miles away, and it is only 25 miles to Lake Michigan! The property features a large fenced in garden area. The roof was replaced in 2019. Occupancy is negotiable, so you could enjoy this cottage yet this summer! This would make a great short term rental! Update! Seller just had the crawl space insulated, added moisture barrier, and put in a new enclosure! Buyers to verify all measurements. Backup offers being accepted.
