Up-North Escape on 5 Acres of Hardwoods Welcome to your very own northern Michigan retreat! Set on five private acres of untouched hardwoods, this property combines peace, privacy, and year-round recreation. At its heart is a brand-new quaint cabin — thoughtfully finished with a metal roof, new vinyl siding, all new windows, knotty pine interior, vaulted ceiling, and durable tile flooring. Inside, you’ll find a cozy 9x8 loft sleeping area above the living room/kitchen, a three-quarter bath with laundry and a propane wall furnace — the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort. The sellers have just added a new gravel driveway and created the inviting firepit area, making it easy to enjoy evenings under the stars. With a new five-inch well, septic system and drain field, everything is set up and ready for you — and if you’d like extra space for guests, adding a camper hookup is allowed to bring your campers for a little glamping. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being close to 1,00 miles of ORV and snowmobile trails, and only one mile to Perch Lake with public access for boating, fishing, and water sports. The nearby Manistee river adds even more opportunities for recreation. Conveniently located just south of Kalkaska and 10 mins. from beautiful Fife Lake with a public lake, you’re also a short drive to Traverse City and within a day trip of Lake Michigan. Whether you’re seeking a weekend getaway, a four-season basecamp, or a serene escape surrounded by hardwoods, this turn-key property is ready for you to start making memories. For the investor, this low-maintenance cabin could be the perfect VRBO rental to start generating income right away.
