Welcome to this spacious Black River retreat offering the perfect blend of privacy, function, and outdoor lifestyle. Enjoy direct access to the Black River with a peaceful kayak ride downstream that brings you a direct water route to Lake Huron in approximately 10 minutes, offering a rare and easy connection to Michigan’s waterways. Situated on about a half-acre lot with a 30x40 foot garage that includes an upper level for additional storage or potential workspace, ideal for boats, ATVs, and recreational storage. Inside, the home features a large kitchen and expansive living room, along with a generously sized bathroom and a convenient main-level primary bedroom. Tucked in on a low-traffic residential stretch, this home offers a true sense of community and year-round living. A public boat launch to Lake Huron is located just a few miles down the road, providing additional easy access to the lake. Just a short distance away is Negwegon State Park, known for quiet trails, wildlife, and some of the most natural and uncrowded Lake Huron shoreline access in the area, making this a strong lifestyle property surrounded by water, recreation, and nature.
