If you are looking for the quintessential "up north" getaway, look no further than this extraordinary Burt Lake gem! 10 wooded acres set the scene for this nature-lover's paradise. A high bluff setting plays host to a darling cottage and accompanying 24x24 detached garage, while the land rolls gradually down from the structures towards 166' of private Burt Lake frontage. The cottage is everything one imagines for an ideal Northern Michigan escape - knotty pine tongue-and-groove interior, a charming screened-in porch, and a wood stove for crackling fires on cool evenings. In addition to the 2 Bedrooms in the main cottage, there is an additional bonus bunk room over the barn, providing plenty of room to host guests or let the kids escape to their own play area as the adults relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of lakeside living. Buyers looking for more square footage need not fret, as the property features an HD-approved new build site just steps from the shoreline off North Bay Way! Stay in the current cottage while building your dream home, or enjoy the property exactly the way it is - the possibilities are endless! The northeast portion of Burt Lake is notorious for it's long, gradual drop in depth, making it a great spot for young swimmers to splash around without care free. When you hear stories of past generations escaping to their cottage up north, you picture a place like this. What seems like mere folklore can actually be yours if you act today!
