    What's special

    Natural fireplace
    Island Lake in northern Gladwin County is waiting for you. A charming well cared for property with 2 bdrms, 2 bths, extra sleeping space at one end of the walk-out basement with a full bath and laundry at the other end, along with a great view of the lake from the family room in between. A very peaceful and private area off the beaten path – you have to know it’s there to know it’s there! In the winter, curl up on the sofa with a good book before the natural fire place and look out over the frozen lake. Like ice fishing – you can do it right off your dock. The aluminum dock stays with the sale. Close to state land and plenty of trails that will take you all the way to Houghton Lake. Island Lake is a no-wake lake for electric motors that is only available to the residents and guests of the lake. The view of the lake is so serene that you will instantly feel all the stress and chaos of the City fade away. The deck was redone in May of 2023 with all trek decking and new aluminum railing. In May of 2024 the concrete patio at the lower level walk-out basement was all replaced. There’s a 1.5 garage with a carport and 2 sheds for additional storage. Main level bath was completely replaced in 2024 and boasts a walk-in shower. This could be a turn key sale with the right offer as most furniture and possessions can stay. Call and schedule your showing today!
