This home has it all! Enjoy all sports North lake located close to Macomb and Oakland county. This is a quiet community that has everything to offer. Great Fishing, Boating, Swimming and so much more. Located on the south end of the lake (deepest part) this home has one of the largest lake frontages (140 ft), a sandy beach, and two docks. The home has plenty of room for a large family, the primary bedroom has a full bath and room for multiple beds with a private balcony with lake views, Open concept on the first floor with room for dining and a bonus room that is used for extra sleeping. The seller has used this home for the family for years and also has a strong AirBNB profile with over 30 5 star reviews. Any time they don't go to the cottage they post it live on Airbnb and it rents instantly for around $250 a night. The 2 car garage next to the house has been converted into living quarters with a bed and living area which allows this home to sleep 12 comfortably. (Can easily be converted back). Brand new furnace, septic emptied and inspected, newer style well. All appliances, pontoon and most of the furnishings are included with a full price offer. Close to the Metro Detroit area (about an hour), 20 minutes from Frankenmuth, 15 minutes to grocery but still has the "Up North" feel you are looking for. The homes on the lake are about 50/50 full time/part time. This is a public Lake with a boat drop, public park and beach. I know this family has loved this cottage, the neighbors, the lake life and everything this property has to offer, although it is bittersweet they are excited to allow a new family this opportunity. Additional lot across the street being offered for sale The 3rd lot located behind the home has a large barn, 2 carports for boat or camper storage, electric and septic. This lot has been used for campers (full hook up), extra space and parking.
