Assessment-free waterfront living with acreage, a pole barn, and 280 feet of river frontage! This beautifully maintained and updated 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch sits on nearly 2 wooded acres along the Molasses River. The seller will pay off the Four Lakes Task Force capital assessment at closing, allowing the next owner to enjoy the property without taking on that significant assessment obligation and associated tax increase. The home features new flooring, an updated kitchen with newer appliances, on-demand hot water, and a new metal roof. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings from the wraparound porch or follow the private walking trail through the woods to the river's edge. A 30' x 40' pole barn with a new metal roof provides plenty of space for storage, hobbies, equipment, or a workshop. With 280 feet of river frontage, the property's connection to Wixom Lake, and direct access to over 500 acres of DNR land, this is a rare opportunity for waterfront living with room to explore. Whether you're looking for a year-round home, weekend getaway, or private retreat, this property offers an incredible combination of waterfront, acreage, outbuildings, and assessment-free ownership.
