W 18312 Co Rd #H42, Germfask, MI 49836

Situated along the highly desirable H-42 corridor just minutes from downtown Curtis, this rare Big Manistique Lake offering features approximately 300 feet of lake frontage and nearly 6 acres of beautifully positioned property between Trail’s End Resort and Northern Exposure Resort. From the water side, the location sits conveniently between Cook’s Bay and Deer Cove Beach — placing you in one of the lake’s most sought-after recreational areas. The lot itself offers a gentle slope all the way to the water, creating an exceptionally usable waterfront setting with a beautiful beach-sand lake bottom. Large parcels in this location are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether you envision a private waterfront retreat, future resort opportunity, compound, or long-term investment, the size and layout of this property open the door to countless possibilities. The combination of acreage, frontage, privacy, and direct access to all that the Curtis area offers is exceptionally rare. The existing home will require a substantial renovation and is being marketed accordingly. However, the structure itself still offers strong underlying potential with straight walls, an excellent foundation, newer metal roof, newer well, and an overall footprint that could provide significant advantages compared to starting entirely from scratch. For the right buyer with vision, this property presents an opportunity to restore, redesign, or reimagine a premier lakefront setting while potentially avoiding some of the additional hurdles often associated with entirely new waterfront construction. The parcel size also creates flexibility for future plans. Buyers may wish to retain the entire property for privacy and expansion, or explore the possibility of splitting a portion of the acreage/frontage in the future, subject to local approvals. Big Manistique Lake is far from your average inland lake. Spanning over 10,300 acres, it ranks as Michigan’s 7th-largest inland lake and is well known for its outstanding year-round recreation and fishing opportunities. Anglers enjoy excellent fishing for walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, black crappie, yellow perch, cisco, sturgeon, and more. The Curtis area is also a premier trail hub, offering approximately 140 miles of locally groomed snowmobile trails that connect into Michigan’s expansive 6,500-mile designated trail system. ATV and ORV enthusiasts will appreciate the immediate access to state routes and countless forest roads stretching in every direction.
