Why Houghton Lake may be among the best buys in northern Michigan

For years, families from southern Michigan have been making the relatively short drive north to Houghton Lake for their family vacations.  With such easy access off I-75, it's been a historic favorite for those heading north on Friday evening and back on Sunday.  Property values on the lake have been historically tied to the success or failure of the automotive industry which resulted in falling prices in recent years. Conditions have stabilized now and prices have begun to creep up but there are still opportunities to take advantage of before things climb dramatically.  Houghton is the largest inland lake in Michigan by surface area.  It offers a number of great festivals including Tip Up Town in the winter, it's in the heart of terrific snowmobiling and hunting on public land and the nearby communities offer plenty of dining options, phenomenal golf destinations and other activities when you're looking to get off the water.
 Here's a perfect example of a property that has been completely remodeled, has fantastic sandy bottom, is right in the heart of plenty of amenities but is still priced very low relative to other similar properties in other areas of the state. It features hardwood and tile flooring, completely remodeled kitchen and baths with granite tops and tile.  It even has a 3-car garage for all the toys you're going to need on the lake.  Priced at only $258,500, it's an incredible bargain relative to other lakefront properties in northern Michigan.  If you've been looking farther from home, stop in Houghton Lake on the way up and see what type of properties are still available at very good prices.  Just click the image above for complete details on this property or go HERE for all available properties on Houghton Lake right now.
