    What's special

    Lakefront Living on all sports Big Fish Lake in the Ortonville area. This lake is over 100 acres in size with depths up to 70 ft deep and is well known for excellent fishing. Enjoy your own private sandy beach, boat lift, and raft right out your back door. The lake is surrounded by very few private residential homes as most of it is part of the 5400 acres within "Ortonville Recreation Area" which leaves very few private owners on this lake. Enjoy western sunset views overlooking 5400 acres of state land---you will feel like you are in Upper Peninsula yet are super close to all Metro Detroit offers. The home features 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Kitchen and baths were all updated and remodeled in 2023. Master bedroom is located on second floor with its own private balcony overlooking the lake. Large rear deck too off living room is a great spot to sit and enjoy the views. Living room offers multiple slider doors to maximize the water views. Large 28x30 detached garage with fixed stairs to the above storage loft gives you lots of space for your cars and your stuff. Newer 5" PVC well. Hot water boiler heat but also an attic furnace for the A/C too--best of both worlds. Clean dust free heat with the boiler but also forced air A/C for those hot summer days. Natural gas back up generator so you never lose power. Andersen windows throughout. 3/4" foam board was added under new siding about 15 years ago for additional insulation. Roof was new at that time too. Amazing opportunity for all sports lake living with direct access to 5400 acres of state land for hunting, snowmobiling, hiking, etc and a location so close to city conveniences. Come see what Lake Life can be like for you!
