Welcome to your own slice of UP north paradise on South Manistique Lake. This log cabin sits on 4.76 acres with 400 feet of sandy lake frontage. That's hard to find these days. Here's what makes this place special: the cabin splits into two separate living suites. Each one has its own kitchen, living room, and bath. A shared 3 season porch connects them, so you still get that cabin togetherness when you want it. Rent out one side while you use the other. Or let family and friends have their own space when they visit. Either way, you get two homes for the price of one! Want more income potential? The lot has both lake and road frontage, and it's almost five acres. That could open the door to splitting the parcel (buyers should check with Portage Township on the details). It's one more way this property could help pay for itself. There's more too. A bunkhouse gives you extra room for guests. A workshop and laundry building has 220-volt power, great for storing your boat, tools, or fishing gear. Most of the furniture stays, so you can move right in. Fiber internet is on site, so you can even work from the dock if you want to. South Manistique is an all-sports lake with a sandy bottom, so it's great for swimming, boating, and fishing. Homes like this don't come up for sale very often. Close to many favorite attractions, the cozy touristy town of Curtis, this could be your home base for UP adventures for years to come!
