Turnkey, exquisite Manistee Lake waterfront home offering 4,700 square feet and up to six bedrooms. Relaxed, elegant, and built for lake life, this property has been cherished by the same family since the 1940s.

The original grandmother’s cottage was removed and replaced with a masterfully designed and built home by Brian Andersen. Rock-solid construction, sound and weather protection, thoughtful design, and exceptional care make this home feel nearly untouched. It is hard to tell anyone has ever lived here, it is that well maintained. Designed for gathering, the granite kitchen features two sinks in the island, a waterfront bar perfect for serving a crowd, and a 10 x 6 butler’s pantry for extra prep and storage. Flexible living offers up to six bedrooms, or use the waterfront loft as a beautiful office or creative space. The full unfinished walkout basement is framed and ready to finish. Hot water heat plus ducted forced air add comfort and efficiency. Low maintenance by design, this home is easy to enjoy year-round or close up and leave for the winter. Two garages offer up to four indoor parking spaces, and dog lovers will appreciate the custom dog yard and bathing area already in place. Manistee Lake is an 860-acre, crystal-clear, all-sports lake known for easy swimming, boating, and peaceful summer evenings where Taps can be heard across the water. Stunning yet humble, elegant yet easy, this is a lakefront estate built for family, friends, dogs, and decades of memories.

This is a completely and skillfully rebuilt four season cabin on 10 acres of land; the parcel is divided by the North Branch of the Boardman River (aka The Ottaway). 25 miles west of the property one will find all the amenities of Traverse City, and, 25 miles to the east are the blue ribbon waters of the Manistee and Au Sable Rivers. The North Branch of the Boardman is a Type 1 trout stream (all tackles, limit of 5) hosting native brookies and browns (and this population includes some larger “cannibals” that prowl the currents in the nighttime). Very nearby is Guernsey Lake, part of The Sand Lakes Quiet Area, with waters yielding largemouth bass, yellow perch, bluegills and stocked browns. This is a quality built fishing cabin with an old shed that keeps firewood dry and the canoes out of sight (two Old Town canoes are included … both have seen some water and are true to the paddle and the oar.) Beyond fishing, this is an excellent spot for wildlife viewing, hiking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling or quiet reading by the cozy wood stove. Offered fully furnished or not!
