About This Home

As of June 2026

Set on 2.74 acres with 212 feet of private frontage on Clam Lake, this beautifully updated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers an exceptional blend of privacy, comfort, and Northern Michigan waterfront living. As part of the Lower Chain of Lakes, Clam Lake connects you to Torch Lake, Lake Bellaire, Lake Skegemog, and Elk Lake, forming one of the most unique freshwater systems in the country with more than 80 miles of navigable waterways for boating, paddling, and fishing. The home features nearly 2,500 square feet of finished living space with an open main level framed by lake views, cathedral ceilings, and a spacious kitchen and dining area. Two main-floor bedrooms provide comfort for guests, while the upper level is dedicated to a large primary suite with a private bath and dual walk-in closets. A generous family room upstairs offers additional gathering space and is large enough to accommodate extra sleeping quarters. Outside, a wide lakeside deck leads to level access at the water and a large dock capable of accommodating up to four boats, ideal for those who enjoy hosting. The attached two-car garage, additional storage shed, and wooded surroundings create a quiet and private setting. Located just minutes from Bellaire, Shanty Creek, Short’s Brewery, ski and golf resorts, and year-round recreation, this home is perfectly positioned for both full-time living and vacation enjoyment. Offering rare frontage on one of Michigan’s most desirable inland waterway systems, it delivers the true Lower Chain of Lakes lifestyle.
