Welcome to River Cottage – A Rare Gem on the Muskegon River.
Perched atop one of the highest elevations in the sought-after Wildlife Shores area near Evart, River Cottage offers a truly special vantage point within the heart of a dramatic river bend along the scenic Muskegon River. This exceptional property is a haven for nature lovers, anglers, and anyone seeking tranquility surrounded by natural beauty. Set against a backdrop of unspoiled woodland and abundant wildlife—including bald eagles, wild turkeys, and deer—this home enjoys a deep water bend right out front, ideal for fishing, kayaking, and summer rafting adventures. The long, naturally wooded driveway offers both privacy and a beautiful approach to the property, which lies in an area known for its artesian wells. Inside, the home is a well-constructed manufactured residence built on a solid block foundation. Recent upgrades include new flooring, carpet, and two fully renovated bathrooms. The kitchen has been stylishly updated with an open-concept design that allows you to take in the stunning river views as you cook or entertain. A standout feature is the spacious sun porch, offering panoramic 180-degree views of the river bend. Watch the sun rise to your left and track its path as it crosses directly overhead—sunrises and sunsets here are simply breathtaking. Across the river, enjoy uninterrupted views of pristine, natural woodlands. You’ll also be delighted to find yourself between two of the best neighbors anyone could ask for—truly a warm and welcoming community. The home comes move-in ready with all new appliances, a gas grill, a new propane heater, and a rebuilt water pump. The roof has been professionally inspected and is in excellent condition. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or a base for outdoor fun, River Cottage delivers. Come experience it for yourself—prepare to fall in love.
