Big Platte Lake is a very quiet and peaceful Northern MI inland lake only minutes away from beautiful Lake Michigan and on the edge of Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, which was voted one of America’s most favorite places to stay and play.  Big Platte Lake is centrally located within close proximity to all of Northern MI best; such as, golf, tennis, hiking, bicycling, skiing, tubing, kayaking, canoeing, hunting, snowmobiling and MORE! Also nearby, is one of Michigan's finest (and one of the last) Drive-In movie theaters!

Big Platte Lake is an all-sports lake, approximately 2,500 acres, with a water depth of 90 feet. Fish include northern pike, coho, steelhead, small mouth bass, and others.  Oh, and the Platte River run through it, so you can kayak from dockside to Lake MI too.  Benzie County offers some of the most beautiful topography and expansive hillside views; which can only be experienced as you meander to one of many recreational venues.  If you’re looking for a great home with all the amenities, look no further, because all you have to do is click the photo below and give me a call for a home tour.  It’s summer time in the Great North and we’ll leave the lights on in this beautiful Big Platte Lake home anticipating your arrival.  Drive Safe, though!

THE PERFECT AuSable Log Cabin!

We had an accepted offer on this classic log cabin overlooking The AuSable before it even hit the market.  Fortunately for some lucky buyer, the previous buyer removed themselves from the transaction this morning and it's once again available.  We've had the pleasure to represent some of the finest riverfront properties in Michigan over the past decade or so but I've truly never seen quite a setting.  Perched on a gentle knoll, the cabin overlooks a babbling brook to one side and some of the best water on the entire AuSable watershed out front.  The 1938 "Airlock" log home was meticulously restored by the current owners and is in exceptional condition.  The property is also home to one of just a handful of remaining riverboat houses perched over the water.  There's even a hidden beer cooler under the boards of the riverside boardwalk where cool springs ensure a cold draft at day's end.  The property consists of over 10 acres of towering pines and hardwoods and includes nearly 300' of prime frontage.  Click the photo above fore complete details or contact Broker/Owner, Chad Brown, to set up your private showing.  chad@homewaters.net  ~  (231) 499-8292
