About This Home

Enjoy classic Northern Michigan charm in this well-maintained 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath machined log home or cottage situated on two lots along a scenic canal leading to beautiful AuSable Lake. Located approximately halfway between Hale and Rose City, this inviting Up North retreat offers 1,012 sq. ft. of finished living space plus a 144 sq. ft. enclosed porch overlooking the canal and lake. Inside, the home features warm wood accents, rustic finishes, and a cozy Northwoods feel throughout. Recent updates include a new furnace in 2025, and the crawlspace has been professionally spray foamed and lined for improved efficiency and peace of mind. The home also features central air conditioning (condenser likely needs to be replaced) and a detached heated shed/workshop offering excellent storage, hobby, or workspace potential. The sellers have used and maintained a subdivision access dock right across the road for over 40 years. AuSable Lake is a scenic all-sports lake known for boating, fishing, and peaceful natural surroundings, with excellent opportunities for bass, pike, perch, bluegill, and panfish fishing. Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, seasonal getaway, or relaxing Up North cabin, this unique property offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy Northern Michigan living in a beautiful water setting.
