Traverse City, MI – Spider Lake-Sandy Frontage, sandy bottom and level to the water. NO STEPS! | 2.39 Acres | Sleeps 10 | TURNKEY! Be sure to scroll down to the video to see the boat that comes with this incredible cottage in action! Plenty of room to expand, add a garage, and plenty of off road parking with your own private drive for your visitors! Timeless, classic, well loved and ready to welcome a crowd—this Spider Lake charmer is the perfect all-season getaway. Tucked down a quiet paved lane on 2.39 wooded acres, the setting offers rare privacy, buffer and natural beauty. With birdsong in the trees and fish that greet you as you stroll down the dock. Rare to have acreage ( mostly for buffer) and a lake house at the same time! This is a true turnkey opportunity—everything stays except a few personal keepsakes. Furnishings, bedding, dining room set, linens, towels, fully outfitted kitchen, everything you need to just enjoy summer! The property includes a covered boat hoist, lakeside hammock, dock, fire pit, lakeside deck, Even the boat is included: a 2006 250hp MerCruiser deck boat with swim platform, featured in the video tour. Inside, you’ll find flexible sleeping arrangements—sleeps 4 upstairs and 6 downstairs—with plenty of room to gather, relax, or retreat. The covered porch overlooks sparkling Spider Lake, where red-winged blackbirds provide the daily soundtrack. There’s room to add a garage with bonus space—or perhaps another building site among the trees. Spider Lake is beloved for its year-round recreation: boating, fishing, paddling, swimming, snowmobiling, and peaceful coffee mornings on the dock. The beach is pure sand with a sandy bottom, perfect for barefoot fun. This isn’t just a cottage—it’s a lifestyle. And no TV is needed. NOTE: Bedroom 2 and 3 are non conforming by not having a closet.
