Charming lakefront cottage with 75 feet of private frontage on peaceful Walkup Lake, a 66-acre all-sports lake with only 17 residences, surrounded by the beauty of the Manistee National Forest. Whether you're fishing from the dock, soaking in the hot tub, or enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the water, this home delivers the up-north getaway feel. Renovated in recent years, the cottage features an updated kitchen, bathroom, flooring, appliances, windows, and well, plus a new water heater in 2024. The bright open layout connects easily to the outdoors, and the sale includes all kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, and many furnishings - making it ready for immediate enjoyment! The attached garage has been fully drywalled and is ready to be finished into additional living space or a guest suite if desired. With its quiet setting, sandy beach, and income potential, this is a rare opportunity to own a turn-key waterfront retreat under two hours from Grand Rapids. Just minutes from M-37, ORV trails, public land, and more.
