Experience the joy of Northern Michigan living with this magnificent, handcrafted scribe-fit custom home nestled along the banks of the picturesque Betsie River. Crafted from British Columbia Spruce Logs, this stunning residence radiates rustic charm and superior craftsmanship throughout. Step inside to discover a spacious great room adorned with a soaring cathedral ceiling, accentuating the fine workmanship of the logs. Warm yourself by the wood-burning stove as you admire the intricate interior walls and trim crafted from white pine and cedar. The main floor boasts a convenient primary bedroom and bath, offering effortless single-level living. Ascend the stairs to a cozy loft area featuring a second bedroom, half bath, and study area, perfect for unwinding after a day of outdoor adventures. The lower level hosts a third bedroom (non-conforming) with full outside access through elegant French doors, providing privacy and comfort. Beyond the main residence, a separate guest house or artist studio awaits, plumbed for a half bath, offering a serene retreat for visitors or creative pursuits. Store your up-north toys in the spacious 24'x32' pole barn/garage, providing ample space for outdoor gear and equipment. Situated on over 6 acres of land, revel in the breathtaking views of your 800 +/- feet of private Betsie River frontage on both sides of the river and home to an excellent fishing hole. Upstream enjoy over 100 acres of state land also. Embrace the tranquility of Pure Michigan living with endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, including fishing, boating, canoeing, and kayaking right at your doorstep. With scribe-fit (no chinking) log construction and a new Sikkins coating applied in 2023, this home offers a low-maintenance retreat where every detail has been thoughtfully considered. With a backup generator for added peace of mind, this is your opportunity to embrace the essence of Northern Michigan living in unparalleled style and comfort.
