About This Home

As of May 2025

This is a rare opportunity to own two adjacent Lake Michigan properties! One is an adorable cottage, the other is a ready building site. They are 3.6 acres combined, with 233' of frontage, both offering spectacular views, so there are many options — hold the lot, sell it, build for family, for an income property or spec home. The cottage is fully furnished and ready for immediate use, or to use as a short term rental. The inside is tastefully decorated, from the ensuite primary BR at one end, to the Living Room on the other, with an a new brick patio in between. Outdoors is a screened gazebo, great for entertaining or quiet time, enjoying lake views and breezes. Access to the lake is easy with shared stairs and paths to a wide, sandy beach. 10 min from St. Joe and close to I-196.
