Description

One-of-a-kind property, direct-private frontage and turnkey home, thoughtfully improved, and nearly impossible to find in this price range. Come see and feel the magic for yourself. This listing comes with a 24 x24 detached garage to be built. Set on a “river-runs-through-it” backdrop, this rare offering places you directly above the North Manistee River on a full-length covered deck. Known statewide for its blue-ribbon fly fishing, clear cold waters, and lazy tubing stretches, the river winds through towering trees. With thousands of acres of state land as your neighbor across the water, your view remains untouched—no houses, just nature to look at. Kayaking this river rivals the Platte, Crystal or AuSable, with so much state land, you feel you are on your own. Ideally located: close enough to enjoy Grayling’s new hotspot status with exceptional restaurants, artisan shops and cultural energy that rival Glen Arbor (at a fraction of the price!) . Access to world-class snowmobile and ATV trails adds to the four-season lifestyle. Recent updates include: new roof, new septic, freshly painted exterior preserving the classic cabin aesthetic, enclosed storage under the deck perfect for summer toys, three aluminum canoes, all-new interior flooring, and main-floor living throughout. Layout features a bright laundry room, open floor plan with kitchen, dining and living. 3 bedrooms, 2 new bathrooms. Private Primary. Updates that do not distract from the up north cabin feel you will get here.
