Up North enthusiasts — this is the getaway you’ve been waiting for! Perfect as a four-season retreat, this property is located directly on the M-679 portion of the Blue Bear Trail System, multiple Golf courses and offering immediate access to year-round outdoor recreation. Situated on four parcels, the property provides plenty of room for group gatherings, additional parking, or RV storage. Enjoy snowmobiling right from your front door, summer swimming in Bear Lake — one of the cleanest lakes in the area — along with nearby ORV trails, hiking, and endless outdoor adventure. The current owners have completed extensive updates to the property, including the well, septic system, furnace, windows, roof, decking, foundation work, and interior and exterior chinking. Inside, the cozy cabin-style interior features an oversized living area that is perfect for relaxing after a day on the trails. The stunning stone fireplace creates the ideal atmosphere to take the chill off on cool northern evenings. The home includes two bedrooms, plus an additional heated front porch sleeping area for extra guests. The kitchen has been updated with beautiful hickory cabinetry and generous counter space for meal preparation. A spacious dining area easily accommodates a large farmhouse-style table, making it ideal for entertaining and sharing stories from the day’s adventures. The fully remodeled bathroom adds a touch of luxury with pine finishes, a walk-in shower, and updated vanity. Outdoor spaces are designed for gathering and enjoying the Up North lifestyle. Sip your morning coffee on the front porch, enjoy dinner on the back deck, and finish the evening around one of the two fire pits under the northern sky. Conveniently located just 14 miles from Grayling, 16 miles from Kalkaska, and 39 miles from Traverse City, this property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.
