About This Home

As of May 2026

BASS LAKE IN PENTWATER - An inviting opportunity to own a piece of Bass Lake history with 183 feet of private frontage on desirable Bass Lake! This cherished seasonal cottage has been in the same family for over 100 years and offers an incredible setting on an all-sports lake known for its beauty and recreation. Enjoy west facing views of the water from the covered front porch. The cottage is full of character, featuring a welcoming open-concept main floor with living, dining, and kitchen areas, along with a cozy wood-burning fireplace in the living room - perfect for enjoying cool lake evenings. A full bath completes the main level. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms, providing plenty of room for guests and family gatherings. The home has vinyl siding and a roof estimated to be approximately 15 years old. Please note, this is a seasonal cottage with no central heat, and it is not insulated or drywalled - offering the perfect opportunity for a buyer to restore and update the space with their own personal touch or embrace the original rustic cottage experience. Outside, enjoy expansive private water frontage and sandy bottom walk out water access ideal for boating, swimming, and soaking in lake life. A gravel driveway provides access to the property, and two outbuildings offer additional storage for lake toys and equipment. Whether you choose to preserve this historic getaway or build your custom dream home, this property offers exceptional frontage, privacy, and endless potential in a highly sought-after location. Buyer to verify all information.
