A rare Northern Michigan waterfront opportunity on the legendary Inland Waterway! This exceptional property offers 100 feet of frontage on the Crooked River in a private setting, positioned just before the Crooked River Lock. The lot is bordered by State land next door and across the waterway, providing a natural buffer from surrounding development and beautiful wooded water views. Launch from your private dock and cruise to Burt Lake, Crooked Lake, Mullett Lake and even Lake Huron. Enjoy nature preserve trails across the street and some of Northern Michigan's best year round recreation nearby, including boating, fishing, hiking, skiing, snowmobiling and more. The property features an established waterfront footprint, concrete seawall, functional dock, detached garage and boat house with full electrical service, plus a 2018 36' Forest River camper included with the sale. The cottage offers a blank canvas for a custom waterfront retreat, seasonal getaway or future luxury estate, with public sewer connected and an upgraded 200 amp electrical panel. The property may offer potential for future development, including multiple cabins, creating a small campground, or exploring short term rental opportunities (buyer to verify with municipality). This is an extraordinary setting where privacy, water access and the best of Northern Michigan come together. Truly one of a kind! *Taxes are currently 0% homesteaded
