About This Home

Experience the very best of Northern Michigan from this exceptional 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath riverfront retreat offering 155 feet of private frontage on the renowned Betsie River. Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac among mature pines and hardwoods and just minutes from Crystal Mountain Resort, this beautifully maintained home offers privacy and recreation year-round. Offered fully furnished, this is a truly turnkey opportunity to begin enjoying everything Northern Michigan has to offer from the day you close. Step outside and immerse yourself in one of Michigan's premier outdoor destinations. Launch a canoe or kayak from your backyard, fish the legendary Betsie River for rainbow, brown, and brook trout or seasonal salmon, or simply relax on the expansive riverside deck while taking in the peaceful sights and sounds of the flowing water. Evenings are best spent gathered around the fire with family and friends beneath the Northern Michigan sky. Inside, the thoughtfully designed floor plan is ideal for entertaining and everyday living. The spacious kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, while the stunning sunroom, wrapped in windows, fills the home with natural light and showcases beautiful views of the river and surrounding woods throughout every season. The primary suite is a peaceful escape, featuring an en-suite ½ bath and its own riverside balcony the perfect place to enjoy while overlooking the water. The lower level offers a large family room, dry bar, spacious guest bedroom, and full bath providing exceptional space for hosting family and guests. Located just minutes from Crystal Mountain's championship golf courses, downhill skiing, spa, restaurants, and extensive hiking and biking trails, the property is also a short drive to Crystal Lake, the Lake Michigan and countless inland lakes and rivers, offering endless opportunities for boating, swimming, fishing, and year-round adventure.
