Stunning riverfront retreat with modern updates and custom features on the Pigeon River—a Blue-Ribbon Trout Stream protected by the Natural Rivers Act. Set on 4.5 acres with 276 feet of private frontage, this home offers the tranquil sound of rushing water and uninterrupted views of the 900-acre Agnes S. Andreae and Boyd B. Banwell Nature Preserves. The thoughtfully renovated home features a spacious wraparound porch overlooking the river, 2225 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and an open floor plan ideal for entertaining or enjoying a quiet moment by the fireplace. Recent upgrades include a deck extension and outdoor entertaining area, oversized custom windows, gas fireplace, built-ins /bookshelves, fiber optic internet, and many modern updates throughout. A 2.5-car detached garage with 23 feet of new built-in tool and storage cabinets offers ample storage for outdoor gear and a whole-house backup generator adds peace of mind. Anglers will love stepping off the porch to fish for brook, brown, and rainbow trout, plus twice-yearly steelhead runs. Nature lovers will enjoy the quiet presence of bald eagles, great horned owls, deer, mink, and mergansers. A one-of-a-kind Northern Michigan base for fishing, birding, hiking, and relaxing in nature.
