Party without the price tag this summer!

 Perfect getaway on Clare County's most gorgeous lake!

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to live on the lake without the high price tag and taxes! Once you step inside you'll be greeted by the "Up North" atmosphere created by the knotty pine interior and vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. 

Enjoy the lake with your friends and family; the open floor plan and loft (with additional sleeping space) make it ideal for entertaining. However, the real fun begins elsewhere! This cabin includes a detached fully finished and insulated rec room with an in ceiling stereo system, custom bar, tv mount, recessed lighting and of course stunning knotty pine. 

If outside is where you'd rather be, head across the street to the additional waterfront lot, where you'll fall in love with the extravagant tiki bar, patio and lake side boardwalk. The property also comes with a 30x40 insulated pole barn, complete with a workshop. This listing has it all!

Spectacular new AuSable River listing

We've had the good fortune of selling more real estate on The AuSable and Manistee Rivers than any other broker since our founding in 2006.  During that time we've sold everything from large estates to modest fly fishing cabins.  Perhaps the most difficult property to find is a well built, modern home on the river with true style and higher end finishes and features.  We are proud to bring this North Branch AuSable home to the market and it definitely matches those criteria.  Built in 2006, the owners did a terrific job creating a home that has the feel of a northern Michigan lodge but done in a way that brings in modern touches and conveniences.

The custom island kitchen is the highlight of the home.  Featuring stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, including a double oven, six burner range and stainless hood, custom maple cabinetry, rich granite counter tops and a very well conceived dining space, it's among the finest kitchens we've seen in any riverfront home that's been on the market.  The living area is open to the dining and kitchen areas and the focal point is a large cut stone fireplace.  A spacious entry, large laundry room and a very charming sun room are also on the main level of the home.

Upstairs are four bedrooms including a large master suite overlooking the river that features a cedar lined walk in closet and private master bath with beautiful tile floors.  A roomy full bath services the other three sizable bedrooms where there is plenty of room for family and friends.

The property itself is 3.2 acres in size and is a good mix of wooded areas for privacy with open areas around the home and extending toward the 190 feet of river frontage.  Step into the shallow, gravel bottom, river from the large dock and enjoy some of the finest fly fishing in the eastern United States.  This is fantastic water for all ages and skill levels with shallow gravel bars, some deep pools and a wide open river corridor for comfortable casting.  This section of river is home to a tremendous number of aggressive brook trout and smaller brown trout with true trophy sized fish available.  The home is in a great location just a few miles from the quaint community of Lovells and within easy reach of Gaylord, Lewiston or Grayling.

This property is proudly represented by Chad Brown, Broker and offered at $375,000.  Please contact Chad at your convenience at chad@homewaters.net or by phone at (231) 499-8292 for more information or to set up a private showing.  Click any of the images above for complete property details.
