Welcome to one of the most unique and exclusive recreational properties in Western Michigan. 140 acres of forest paradise wrapped around a secluded stretch of the S Branch of the Pere Marquette River..over half a mile of it! The main lodge was timelessly constructed, with timber beams, large field stone fireplace, and beautiful wood finishes throughout. Upgrades to the premises include a rebuilt stone shower, large addition with rec-room, safe-room, and re-configured bedroom layout. There are multiple large out buildings, including 3 garages, lean to's, storage barn, and a large outdoor wood boiler to keep the house and garage warm. Beautiful landscaping all around property showing meticulous attention to detail and pride of ownership. Each room has spectacular views of the river, that winds around the lodge with a peninsula type feel. Located over a half mile off of the road, privacy is maramount. The road is well cared for, and easy to maintain. State land surrounds this property on all sides for miles, making the unique privacy of this location hard to match. On the south end of the property the owners have curated a private pond stocked full of fish! A sandy beach is perfect for kids and family. Power has been run to location to light the gazebo overlooking the area, and creates a fantastic setting for gatherings and entertainment. Located conveniently just a couple of miles off of M-37, an hour from Grand Rapids, and an hour south of Traverse City. This property has must-see all over it! And at this price, will not stick around. Give me a call today if you have any questions, I would love to help answer them in any way that I can!
