Property Description
Your Up North getaway is waiting on beautiful Long Lake! This classic 1950s 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers direct waterfront and an affordable opportunity to own on one of Northeast Michigan's most desirable inland lakes. The cottage is a fixer upper, with its original Up North character still intact and plenty of potential for someone ready to make it their own. It's situated on .32 acre with a detached garage, private well and septic, and wall furnace. The property is tucked off a quiet road with a shared driveway and sits along a small cove, offering more protected water for swimming, paddling and docking while still providing access to all of Long Lake. Spend your days boating, fishing and enjoying the water, then come back to your own little place at the lake. Whether you renovate the existing cottage into a charming waterfront retreat or simply embrace its rustic cabin feel, this is an opportunity to make your own memories on Long Lake.
