About this home

Rare opportunity on Big Birch Lake! This year-round lake cottage recently underwent extensive renovations including a new roof, new flooring, fresh paint inside and out, electrical updates and brand-new appliances. The wooded lot is on nearly an acre of land with 107 feet of hard-bottom lakeshore right out front making it a perfect swimming spot. Many windows and a large deck offer great views of the lake. The property also includes a detached, two-car garage. It is not often that lakeshore property offering swimming, fishing, lake views and beautiful renovations is offered on Big Birch Lake!
