Great price on classic Manistee River Cabin!

There's no question that you can spend a lot of money finding that perfect riverfront estate, but it's not at all necessary to break the bank in order to enjoy some of the best fly fishing in the Eastern United States.  This little cabin just came up on The Manistee is a perfect example.  It has two good sized bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a big screened porch overlooking the river and is on the "flies only" section of The Manistee River.  The setting is very private thanks to it's unique location and the wooded nature of the parcel.  It even includes a good piece of frontage on the other side of the river and a large tract of shared frontage just a bit downstream. It's on a paved road providing excellent access to Grayling, Kalkaska or Traverse City and there are 1,000's of acres of public land in the area for hunting, hiking and exploring.  All this for $134,900!  I know REALTORS say this all the time but here goes....  "This one won't last!"  Contact me right away to come take a look at this and any other property you might be interested in.  The timing should be good to get you in before the trout opener!

The hard winter pays off with riverfront sellers

This fall we did a bunch of press encouraging our sellers to consider listing their properties during the winter. It really paid off for many of those who did. We closed on this great Manistee River property today and are closing homes on The Boardman and Manistee Rivers next week.

If you're a buyer waiting for the snow to melt, we've got extra snowshoes and would hate to see you miss out on any more properties.  Contact the Homewaters agent or broker in your area of interest and make an appointment to see that property you've been watching online before someone else snatches it up!  If you're a seller, why wait for spring when we can sell your property now?
