Sandy Beachfront Living on Manistee Lake Wake up to breathtaking sunrises and sunsets on the sandy shores of beautiful Manistee Lake. This property offers a charming cottage with guest quarters and plenty of room to grow, perfect for family, friends, or creating your own private retreat. The beach has just been professionally landscaped with $65,000 in improvements, creating a pristine and inviting shoreline. Nestled in a quiet, low-key setting with an almost “island-like†atmosphere, this location offers both serenity and adventure. Manistee Lake spans 860 acres of clear glacial waters, surrounded by thousands of acres of state land and groomed trails for year-round recreation. Enjoy ice fishing, cross-country and downhill skiing, or ride your ATV straight to a local bakery serving some of the area’s best pizza, or head to Dingeman’s Beer Garden for a trail-side stop. Here, you’ll find the trifecta of northern Michigan living, all the beauty, recreation, and charm without the traffic and crowds. Yes, this gem has been on the market a while….overlooked, but now priced to sell and completely turnkey. It even comes furnished, and with the right offer the seller will also consider including a Bentley pontoon boat with trailer, a King Quad ATV, and tools, making this an instant up-north getaway.
