    Welcome to the 1968 Lost Lake Trail. This is one of those truly special properties that has it all. Just minutes from West Branch, the property makes you feel as if you are in your own secluded up north paradise at the end of a long private drive.The approximate 2,500 sq. Ft. full log custom home with attached 26x28 2 car garage has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The bonus room loft above the garage is also finished for the perfect guest quarters. There is also approximately 1,400 sq. Ft. of additional finished living space on the lower level walk-out basement. The home sits on a breathtaking 23 acres with million-dollar views in all directions. The property has multiple build sites that the buyer could potentially split off in the future if desired. The separate 24x24 detached garage is the perfect complement to the house and provides plenty of storage for all of your tools, toys, and equipment, along with a smaller wood shed and Garden shed. A huge covered porch on the front of the house and a balcony off of the upstairs bedroom overlooking the pond provide some great spots to enjoy a sunrise or sunset. The home was built by one of northern Michigan's most reputable log home builders as his personal residence. The attention to detail and character of the home is something you have to see in person to appreciate. Constructed with extra large overhangs, which will ensure the log home lasts forever, and many other details that make this a truly special log home. The exterior of the home has recently been completely refinished in preparation for the new owner. Beautiful views in all directions including from the dining room where there is a large picture window overlooking a spring fed pond with an artisan well. The pond is the perfect spot to enjoy a bonfire with friends and family and is stocked with rainbow trout. It also attracts waterfowl, specifically wood ducks, mallards and geese regularly. For the deer hunter, the property sets up awesome with a diverse mix of timber and cover. There are 3 enclosed deer blinds ready for season. See wildlife photos for a sampling of what you can expect, excellent hunting with several beautiful bucks right outside your door. The pictures dont lie and this one is about as good as it gets for trophy hunting in northern Michigan. There is also an abundance of other wildlife as well like turkey, bobcat and bear to name a few. The Chain of Lakes Property Owners Association provides property owners with some awesome amenities. You have full access to Deer Lake, Crapo Lake, and Rifle Lake adjacent to the property, which provides some excellent fishing and recreational opportunities, such as kayaking. Rifle Lake has excellent Pike and Crappie fishing, while Deer Lake provides exceptional Bass and Blue Gill fishing. (See pics). The association also handles snow plowing of all the roads right up to the log fence entryway to the driveway. On top of all this there are thousands of acres of state land just 3 miles north where you can enjoy trail riding and snowmobiling. Words and pictures just dont do this one justice at all, you must see it to appreciate.
